The 2016 NFL was the spectacle, drama and intrigue that the NFL wants it to be every year. From 2 QB's going at the top to the now infamous Bong Mask and slide of Laremy Tunsil. A lot of really good players were taken from rounds 1 to 7 and Neil Stratton's new book, Value Picks: The Drama, Decisions and Details Behind Eight Selections in the 2016 NFL Draft, talks through 8 of them. On today's special episode, Neil and Rodrik discuss those 8 picks while going in depth on the Atlanta Falcons Draft class that included 5 starters plus 3 significant contributors from the UDFA group. A story for every pick and all that went on leading up to draft night and an eventual Super Bowl run. These are true stories from a scouting assistant who got to witness it all first hand. Stories you will not hear anywhere else. @NFL @NFLDraft @Jaguars @Texans @Titans @Colts @Raiders @Chiefs @Broncos @Chargers @Patriots @Dolphins @Jets @Bills @Bengals @Steelers @Ravens @Browns  @Cowboys @Eagles  @Commanders @Giants @Panthers @Falcons @Buccaneers @Saints @Cardinals @Rams @Seahawks @49ers @Packers @Vikings @Lions @Bears Neil Stratton - @InsidetheLeague - Succeed In Football Rodrik David - @RightStepAdv - TheScoutingCommunity.com Learn more about your ad choices.

They discuss why Mueller still has high hopes for Cincinnati’s John Ross, how a chance encounter at the rental car desk helped tell him who would go No. 2 in the draft, and which player’s out-of-sight workout caused him to send a red alert to everyone in the Chargers’ braintrust.

n Episode 4 of the Best Player Available Podcast, ITL’s Neil Stratton discusses the 2017 NFL Draft with former Raiders pro personnel director Dane Vandernat. They discuss how Mark Sanchez may have helped Mitch Trubisky go No. 2, how many draft spots Gareon Conley lost due to a late-breaking story just days before the draft, the one consistent “ding” on Alabama players among scouts, and why Alvin Kamara was such a popular player among Oakland’s scouting staff.

n Episode 3 of the Best Player Available Podcast on the 2017 NFL Draft, ITL’s Neil Stratton talks to former Bills GM Doug Whaley about how close Buffalo came to drafting Patrick Mahomes, what attending a baseball game taught him about how to evaluate defensive ends, and how coaches and scouts judged Alabama cornerback Marlon Humphrey’s introverted personality differently.

In Episode 2 of his 10-part series on the 2017 NFL Draft, Inside the League’s Neil Stratton talks to former 49ers area scout Bob Morris about how to evaluate defensive backs, why Jets pick Jamal Adams was a success but Browns pick Jabrill Peppers wasn’t despite being similar players, how the ’17 draft changed the way the NFL looks at running backs and why Patrick Mahomes was so different from the usual Texas Tech passer.

In the inaugural episode of a 10-part series on the stacked 2017 NFL Draft, Inside the League's Neil Stratton talks to former Titans Director of College Scouting Blake Beddingfield about Tennessee's picks, the players the team almost took, who the team had rated in the first round and one of the unsung heroes of the Patriots dynasty that haunts Blake to this day.

If you're interested in the world of NFL scouting, then this episode is for you! Neil Stratton, President of Inside The League, talks shop on the scouting process, how to break into the industry and his new book called "Scout Speak"!  "Scout Speak" is an easy $9.99 purchase that can be found on Amazon (link provided below) and touches on all things related to the scouting process, the draft room and how to carve a career out in the industry!  Current and former NFL scouts weigh in on the various topics covered in the book, all adding their own flavor and unique draft room or road trip stories for you to read through.   Getting to my conversation with Neil, we got deep in the weeds on what the best scouts have in common, the difficulty in "evaluating the evaluators" and how to break into the game for the young, aspiring NFL scout out there listening to the show.  Here are my notes and main takeaways from this week's episode:  Commonalities Among the Best ScoutsCourage to develop their own opinions and be wrong, while learning from mistakesAwareness that this is a people driven industry and the ability to connect with peopleConsistency in always showing up  Evaluating the EvaluatorsThis question is ultimately a tough ask for anyone to answer, but Neil does a great job of breaking down exactly why this question is rarely answered: It's an "Ole Boy Network" and most scouts don't want to fire their buddiesThere's a distinct difference between information gatherers and talent evaluators, so that adds a layer of complicationSo many people are involved in the cross checking process, which makes the pick more of a consensus and collective decision (by design)Ultimately, success is a function of the area the scout oversees, team needs and the development process once that player reaches your building  *In my mind, the only way to get an accurate assessment of your process as an evaluator is to implement and execute a system of case studies -I.E. reviewing previously acquired players, re-grading them off the film, assessing how they performed in your program, identifying what went right (or wrong), and identifying how those positive or negative traits may have been overlooked or glossed over.  Breaking Into the Scouting IndustryAsking this one is also a difficult question for Neil, but he nailed it on this podcast:  The human element - Nothing is more important than connecting with scouts and decision makers that can vouch for your character, ability but most of all, your personality. Don't take the easy way out with a text or email. Make the effort to write a handwritten letter or take the time to call and create a dialogue. People want to hire other people they like. It's a pretty simple fact.  There's an old saying that it's not what you know, but who you know. That may be true, however the real quote should read "It's not what you know, but who knows you."  Build your reputation one day at a time, master the area you are in currently and invest in relationships.   You can follow Neil on Twitter at @InsideTheLeague, visit his website Inside The League and check out his latest book on scouting, "Scout Speak" on Amazon!
