If 29 other impartial professional scouts seem to collectively agree that Jankowski is 25th on the list (a first round pick), are we still fools for believing Feaster when he said so?

When the poll was taken, it was way too early to have much meaning other than trying to eliminate some players. Jankowski is on such a slow track, that it might take a while to eliminate him. These scouts even eliminated Ceci who's now playing for the Senators. They don't have god like powers, just educated opinions and I have my opinion which pretty much coincides with Bandwagon in Flames.
Anyways you're missing the point. Naming Jankowski was sure to ruffle some feathers and I couldn't resist. I thought it was funny to tell the truth even though I don't like the Jankowski pick, which I well covered in the Jankowski thread.
The point is that no matter the draft pick, or any evaluation, Feaster is at the mercy of his scouts to make the decision as he has little idea if the pick is good or not and even has little idea if the scouts are any good either as he has no basis to decide if they are good or not good.
