Plays on an earlier idea I had about scouting good positional groups together.
I remember when BB drafted Harmon, apparently way too high for people's interest, his reasoning was that every time they looked at tape of Ryan, Harmon was always in the right position. That stuff seems to matter to our staff, and should benefit some of the deeper positional groups out there for the secondary(Wash, Colo, fla, Bama, OhSt).
Usually the majority of those people have actually no clue who a player is but just consult some "experts" mock draft to judge - which is completely asinine. Can't wait for the overreactions this year
In terms of positional groups I think that BB's good relationship with Schiano also played a huge role in all of that. He trusted him and was never really let down in terms of drafted players from his program. The Rutgers players had a prototypical Patriots/BB mentality about the daily grind that can't be emphasized enough.
This is also why I am happy that Daboll went to Alabama and not to some other NFL team. Having people you can trust in college programs is huge.
