The Draft Network

● By Joe Marino
I have really enjoyed the scouting process that our team has adopted to better evaluate the rising draft class. We have collectively worked on scouting these players since May 2020 and split the country into regions. For the scout assigned to each region, they took the time to evaluate each prospect over the summer and develop a foundation of notes, pay attention to the prospects in the region throughout the course of the season, and formalize the evaluation after the season by taking into account all of the information we have learned about each player. We are now at the point where our team is no longer focused on individual regions but embracing a cross-check process where we study the prospects together, share notes, and average the individual scores together to achieve our final grades.
