Scouting? Some teams scout well others don't. Scouting kinda changes variance. Just imagine if the Pats drafted Tim Rattay instead of Brady. The Pats ship would probally be on a different course. This of course isn't a great example, but there are many players scouted especially in Baseball who have come out of nowhere, I guess that's lucky but who knows. Some teams can scout, see the Pats, and some teams can't (see the Clippers between 1990-2000, etc.)

Michael Lewis effectively proved to me Scouts are useless. A computer is as good of a scout as some old fart who tells me this pitcher is 'athletic' and has good 'stuff'
