I read through 104 pages of anonymous comments from NFL scouts and pulled out the most noteworthy comments about NFL Draft bets. Obviously NFL scouts cannot bet on the draft, and this video is NOT implying that they are. This video compares anonymous comments from scouts to current odds to imply how they might bet on it, if they were able to do so with the intention of providing an alternative to coach or gm commentary analysis.
