Which is why almost all the coverage is a complete waste of time. I don't really value drafting for need conceptually, but very few coaches have the adaptability to just integrate any great player into their scheme (as an example exception, see Bill Belichick defenses. He's had damn good defenses with great ball hawk zone guys who couldn't play man, great man blitz heavy, 3-4, 4-3, 3 safety, etc.) So ignoring that most picks aren't ever going to be good enough to contribute to any NFL team, most teams are going to have pretty strong requirements in terms of scheme fit that very few outside the building really understand.

Doing the exercise myself (after the fact, because I can't force myself to suffer through college football), I am curious how many of them have access to actual film. Because TV copy is brutal. You don't see anything down the field until the ball is thrown.
