I saw lots of 'scouting' services make commentary and they couldn't figure out why this guy or that guy fell who was on their list. Then information would slowly come out, he was weird during his interview, or he was injured, a lot of guys had injuries and didn't have surgery to fix it. The NFL is a small community and they share information with each other, like a gossipy knitting circle. You bomb and interview with a team, the other teams are likely to hear about it.
I like all the pundit information, it is fun to read, but every year there is some fans that read some draft guide and saw some guy who fell or was taken too early and they get pissed. NFL teams have staffs that range from 30-50 guys now working on these things. No pundit service is going to rival that talent and staff.
