While all of us hover over the first round, there's probably some scout in the Packer room who's sweating over some unknown gem he's found, hoping to God that when the Pack picks in the fifth round this guy will still be there.
It must be a whole different perspective to be a scout. Imagine - everybody seems sick of the draft by about the fifth round, yet these scouts have put their working lives into finding players, so it must be intense. Imagine the Packer scout that was worried whether he could convince Ron Wolf to take a flyer on a track guy from a small school, some guy named Driver. Then he was wondering if someone else would scoop him up first.
