A Scout’s Take: What is a Club’s Draft Room Like During the NFL Draft?

Related Topics: scout

I have been asked several times recently what being in the Draft Room is like. With the NFL Draft less than a week away, now is a good time to answer.

Who is actually in the Draft Room can change from team to team, but in most cases, it’s the major decision-makers (Owner, President, GM, Head Coach, Personnel Directors) and the rest of the college scouting department. Outside of the Head Coach, seldom do we see the assistant coaches in the Draft Room unless they are asked to come in to answer questions about some players.
