Think of the NFL. How much time do you think the Patriots spent agonizing over Jameis Winston? Sure they scouted him and talked to him. But they knew they weren't getting him. So, in HBD terms, they spent 1m scouting him. On the other hand, Tampa spent 20m scouting him because they wanted him and knew they could get him. So they broke him down a million times on film, asked his grade school teacher if he was a good kid, took countless calls on the possibility of trading away the pick, spoke with him endlessly, etc, etc.
This is information we know. But, in HBD terms, if TB had budgeted 0 in scouting, they might not have even heard of him. The best player they saw was Kevin White. So they take Kevin White. Back to HBD, 8 teams pass on the guy you take with the 9th pick. All 8 of them have 0 HS scouting and you nab the first HS player. I don't have to ask "Why did 8 teams pass on that guy?" I know why. They didn't scout him. On the other hand, you had 4m HS, 0 College. The next 4 picks were HS players taken by teams with 20m HS. Did you get the best HS guy? Probably not. You were just taking the best of what you saw.
