Scouting Reports Reopening
PLEASE READ BEFORE DOING THE FORM
Heading into the 3rd season of scouting, I have loved this so far, just wanted to make some notes on what's working well and some pointers to make the process easier. First, I love a lot of the detail that people are putting into their prospects and I don’t want that to go away, especially the more unique stories and history the player has, its perfect. I will make the note to keep the number of different traits and styles to about 2-4 because then all the players begin to become similar instead of unique. The other helpful thing is to give players at least 1-2 weaknesses or things they still need to improve, just makes it more realistic. I have usually cut down those traits or added weaknesses myself to simplify it a bit when I prepare the prospects for the draft. Keep in mind too that I have to manage over 300 players in this so of course details will still be lost for sure, but I will do my best to keep up with it.
An example is for QB’s being a Mobile QB, with a strong arm, and is super accurate is kinda boring since that is just the best, picking two of those at most is probably best and the rest of the positions work the same. Let’s not have a bunch of big and strong yet speedy and elusive running backs. Obviously I will make the adjustments where I feel as well.
Once again I have added a question to input a preferred number for the player, you can put in multiple for 2nd and 3rd choices if you wish, but one is perfectly fine. As well to clear up the last question where I ask for your scout’s name, I’ve now split that into 2 where you give the name and the username as well. If you submit multiple prospects, then you can just answer one of them (either scout name or username) and I will pair that up with the rest that you submit.
The most needed positions are mainly DEFENSE! The last draft was very offensive heavy, so I need much more defense. DL, LB, DBs! Even a Safety or two is great. Offensive players are still welcome. Also, I may save some for next year as I already have a lot of prospects this season.
