I have mentioned a few times i think drive is one if the key factors in flames scouting the last few years. Personally i really like that philosophy for drafting, Reschny being a perfect example if that.
Seem to be way more willing to seek high end with flaws than low ceiling high floor kind of players. Now obviously the higher in the draft the better your odds but constantly taking the safe pick had landed us in no small part exactly where we have been for two decades but it seems drafting changed about ten years ago and then went another definite change about four years ago.
Seems to me the i would rather reign in a stallion than drag a mule approach with prospects seemed to start earnestly a couple of drafts ago.
