Have coaches and personnel become more scientific in the way they evaluate players?

Tony Softli Joined Randy K. and D’Marco Farr on ESPN 101

Giordono? Graded him middle rounds when he came out of college…has experience.. core special teams guy….with Stewart ailing, he might compete for a starting job right away….probably ends Mikell’s return….he’s better athlete than Mikell, but not a better football player….better than Craig Dahl.

Fear during break? Players getting in trouble…arrested…fear of getting injured doing something like riding a motorcycle or jet ski.

Phsycological Testing of Players during Draft Evaluations? Been going on for a long time..part of the interview process…you want to know if the guy is stable, can he learn quickly, does he shake things off quickly, does he bounce back or go in the tank when things don’t go well. Farr asks if Pead might have some of these issues.

Sotfli doesn’t think he has any mental issues….last year was just a matter of circumstances.

Quick? It takes a year and half to 2 years for most WR’s to really get groomed up….Quick was at D2 college level..You see the flashes in him….it’s just going to take a while to develop…this 2nd year he should kind of excel.

Bailey? A lot of people aren’t talking about Stedman Bailey…and they need to be…1600 yd./25 TD’s …they knew what they were getting.

Givins? Also getting lost in the mix…a lot of big plays….if Quick can come on….this will be a heck of a receiving core.

Brockers? Standing next to that guy…he’s a man…looks like he weighs 300lbs and he weighs 325…all solid muscle…when you see him get off the ball and his movement skills…it’s scary…the great length he has…I’m excited to watch he and Quinn playing together on the right side.
