If the tales of various former scouts and front office executives are to be believed, every year during the NFL Draft there will come a time when an evaluator will vigorously champion the cause for a player he dearly wants the team to draft.

But the scouts, people who have dedicated many hours of their life to watching these players, know what they know. They want their team to draft that player. They then “pound the table” to make the case.
I’m sure this is exactly what happens in the draft rooms across the NFL.
