Before a player is an NFL draft pick, he is the subject of a scouting report.
These, and the scouts that build and evolve them, are the DNA of a roster.
I spent the combine talking to scouts about how they write the reports that shape their teams - and the draft: www.nytimes.com/athletic/706...

The Blue Jackets giving Egor Chinakhov to Pittsburgh feels like a spiritual make-good from the Sports Gods for Pittsburgh giving away George Pickens.
Pomegranate, obviously
As good as Al Michaels' "Do you believe in miracles?" call was, the call & camerawork here were almost as bad
Good for future HOFer Mike Sullivan
Sight unseen, gimme the UNDER on overtime runtime
On the bright side, the losing team can complain about 3x3 deciding this game FOREVER
