San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 “They’ve been reviewing the practice tape already,” said Bills Director of Pro Personnel Tom Gibbons. “They can watch practice video remotely through our video system. So they’ve seen pretty much everything before they’ve arrived.” “The whole value of this for the scouts is to know the caliber of player we have here presently so when we go out in the fall we try to see how we can make that position better,” said National Scout Chuck Cook. “We get a real good feel about what we have and then we’ll go out in the fall and at two-a-days in the fall start breaking down the guys in the college ranks to try to make us better.” The rankings and evaluations from the scouting department on Buffalo’s current players will be used as a form of cross reference with the evaluations of the coaching staff. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-2/Bills-college-scouts-ranking-the-roster/34192f75-f0ad-434c-8b69-621b1e6306a5

I love the concept but without that knowledge, it's hard to place a significance on the self-scouting. The other thing of note on the article (I'm surprised no one has commented on it) is that there is no byline.
