Don't you think it would be better to just skip all pre draft workouts in general? Maybe keep the combine, but what do these individual workouts really show? For the most part, these players are going to know what their criticisms are, and bust their ars to show that they are false, which is really not the truth. Plus, how can you really get a feel for what these players are like in just a workout or two? Plus, for the most part, these guys are going to come in with the best attitudes they've displayed in their lives! You're really not going to get a feel of their personalities either.

Why not just place an even greater emphasis on scouting, and just watch some of the actual games.

Just my two cents.

Not to mention it would prevent MANY injuries.

You can put them through specific drills or situations which your coach sees as significant in terms of making a judgment. You may match up certain players you are considering. Foote vs Gallon, and Varnado vs Brackins would give you a good idea of where those players were in terms of relative quality. If you go by what you have read the past few days, it now seems as if we might consider moving up to get Brackins, and you know that this would not be talked about if he did not impress them in the workout he had with us.

I don't think one workout is enough, just in case a guy has a bad day, but if you combine the workouts with the info you get from your scouts, the combine, and game video, you should have a pretty good idea about the player you are looking at.

Does not mean that you will be correct all the time, but I can't see spending your $$ on a player you have not put through the paces.
