Drafting Tray Walker and Z'Darius Smith over Stefon Diggs who we had the privilege of scouting extensively in our own backyard *claps* well done front office
I said all along Diggs may not be quite the player Cooper is but he is in the same league.
Geography does matter when it comes to mid/late round drafting. We likely had a local scout at every single UMD home game and other teams might send a national scout for maybe 1 or 2 UMD games the whole year. We had a more extensive look at Diggs than basically every other team and still passed him up with 3 picks at the end of the 4th, a luxury many teams that had their eye on him didn't have.
Actually it does take three years to grasp a player I don't know where you guys get your info at but I guess some people have crystal and can see the future.
