1. I never copy anyone else's write up.
2. I'm not sure how we're supposed to correctly determine a players heart and attitude based on a few videos or a full game recorded on TV.
If it's a case of just looking for guys with backstory -- we do that on the blog every single year. But actually determining who has genuine character, attitude and grit isn't easily done without visiting practises at various colleges during the season and speaking to coaches or speaking to team mates who happen to be part of this draft class.

On a separate note, I spent today watching Florida's Keanu Neal and this guy could easily be the #26 pick: http://seahawksdraftblog.com/floridas-k ... tion-at-26
