Nah I can.

If you're a NFL scout, you have only ONE job & one job only, it's to find & watch players for every draft, both current & upcoming.

You don't just scout for that one draft class, you scout years ahead of time & that's quite literally all they do.

Serious question here - and not to pry - but you ever consider taking a scouting gig? Your depth of knowledge at all levels is impressive, and if it's purely as a hobbyist, you may be missing your calling my friend.

I can't remember dude's handle on Twitter, one of those Devy analysis guys, but can vividly remember him hyping Arroyo up while he was still in high school. Maybe he's a scout now...

All the scouts said late first/early second, and posters are in here crying.
I get there are some dumb remarks ("not productive"), but their ratings of him are really high.

Call me a homer, but I think he’s the best TE in the draft. Best combination of size, speed, fluidity, hands, physicality and character. Hope the Chiefs pick him.

I said last season the Chiefs would be the best fit. This is Kelce's last year and that is the guy to learn from and with Mahomes that would be perfect.

"I had never heard of him (before 2024),” a third scout said.

What do they even pay these scouts to do???

It's literally your JOB to know prospects.

You are a homer (thank you, and me too!) and you are right. Both things can be true.

Also, the production issue only exists because we have a QB and OC who believed that offense worked best when the ball was distributed to numerous receivers. A team with X, Arroyo, George, Brown, Horton, Martinez should distribute the ball to all the playmakers. Saying he was not productive reduces the issue to the number of catches/yards without examining the offense as a whole and understanding why.

That kind of myopic vision is what limits people in their career advancement. He is not seeing the forest for the trees
