Obviously teams look at more than just 7 or 8 players. Only an idiot would assume that they only look at the minimum number that they are drafting. However, there are limits to how many players that a team can do its due diligence on. The more picks you have, the more leg work you need to do to be properly prepared - it's pretty straight-forward. And the results (purely anecdotal, I readily admit) seem to back that up.
Where do you get this stuff from? I've met a few scouts (not that I have contacts, just saw them and struck casual conversation) and that definitely is not how it works.
