For the benefit of people who are new to OURLADS' Scouting Services, we wish to clarify our approach to Draft Projections. Our objective is different from just about everyone or every organization that goes through the 'mock draft' exercise. We are not working the phones, the Internet, or other 'connections' to 'handicap' the Draft. Nor do we have any hidden agenda. What we are attempting to do is to slot players based on our ratings, to teams where we feel they best fit. We have enough confidence in our player ratings and the various team needs and direction, to do that. The idea is that players with first round ratings ought to go in the first round, second round players in round two and so forth.

2010 Scout Hall of Fame Inductees, Kirk Mee and Paul Jones
Kirk Mee was hired by Vince Lombardi, then Head Coach of the Washington Redskins, in 1970 as a Player Personnel talent scout. He later coached under George Allen, Jack Pardee, and Joe Gibbs. Kirk was named Director of Pro Player Personnel for the Redskins and then became Director of Player Personnel with Head Coach Norv Turner.
Paul Jones scouted, recruited, and signed players that led to four Grey Cup championships in Canada (Winnipeg in 1988 and 1990, and Edmonton in 2002 and 2005.) Paul’s scouting in the United States led to 28 playoff games and 8 division championships, totaling 190 wins and 169 losses. Eskimo President and CEO Rick LeLacheur stated, "The success of any team is directly tied to its ability to find and develop talent. In his eleven seasons with the Edmonton Eskimos, Paul Jones has consistently demonstrated a special talent for finding impact players who excel in the Canadian Football League."
