Todd McShay backlash builds | ProFootballTalk.com

Once upon a time, Mel Kiper was the primary target of NFL scouts; Kiper has been supplanted by his on-air protege/rival at ESPN, Todd McShay. As McShay's profile increases, and as he takes on the likes of quarterback Jimmy Clausen for reasons that many league insiders believe have no merit, McShay becomes a magnet for criticism.

One of the things I don't like though about the arrogance of some NFL scouts is the fact that their job is still in an exact science where front office members frequently get fired for making bad picks and signings. They might know more then the TV scouts but it's not like they're never wrong. You know that wonderful all inclusive "for a reason, but don't really want to speculate" mentality.

At the same time one thing I notice about Scouts Inc is that very frequently you'll see a lot of guys with grades of 30 and 20 get drafted in like the 5th or 6th round. So it's not to far fetched to think that Scouts Inc is a little off rhythm with what NFL Scouts are seeing.
