A couple of observations: I think it is indeed a HUGE advantage to the coaches that know the kids best come draft day, because an evaluation does not always reveal the true picture. Some kids have even been known to tank it. But if this guy is smart enough to realize that he is at a disadvantage, you would think he would have sought legitimate help and done so a lot sooner.
