Albany,n.y. Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 If Steve Serby is right in his analysis, we should be glad Blane Gabbert wasn't our pick. Here's Serby's take: 10. JAGUARS Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri: Apparently Mike Shanahan wasn’t intoxicated by watching a 6-foot-5 QB running a spread offense as Captain Checkdown. http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/more_sports/first_round_analysis_c8XE4ma9puvCgzAilmFXWN
Sisyphean Bills Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Remember the Bills drafted Trent Edwards and had much the same scouting staff.
thr_wedge Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Remember the Bills drafted Trent Edwards and had much the same scouting staff. Scouts don't make the call on who/when to draft, in theory the GM does. They also drafted Trent in the 3rd round not the first.

Thanks for taking the time to state the obvious. To return the favor: The scouts do the scouting. They make the scouting reports. It is the data from the scouting reports that is compiled and used to give the grades. The grades on the players are how the head scout and GM set their draft board. So, yeah, there is no way that a scout that recommended drafting Trent Edwards might recommend drafting the next guy that plays just like Trent Edwards because, of all things, Trent was drafted in the 3rd round.
