Wrong On Lamar


Lamar Jackson is a great example of the limitations of scouting departments and the Draft Combine. Jackson purposely didn't run the 40 or do drills because many teams knew about his speed, but wanted to convert him to a wide receiver.

Four quarterbacks were selected before him in the first round. The Ravens even passed when they selected a tight end, but made another trade to finally get him with the last pick in the first round.

When Jackson was being recruited in high school, many wanted to convert him to a defensive back. He chose Louisville as his best option to pursue being a quarterback.

The entire process of talent evaluation is very inexact.
