Everyone can learn from the NFL Draft - Bo Callahan Effect

Even Urban Meyer, the Ohio State coach who was on the NFL Network Friday, asserts this - he mentioned that he has a new perspective on recruiting, by looking at how the different NFL teams evaluate talent, assess importance (based on when they draft someone), and what they look for first when "assembling" the new team. Draftees are past college recruits.

I have to comment on the Bo Callahan Effect, after noticing how teams are avoiding Connor Cook - for the most part due to his lack of leadership skills - not being voted team captain when you're the starting QB is a "red flag" of sorts. The SB Nation pointed to this flaw, and I tweeted the same sentiment @bgsujeff1 upon seeing no teams draft Cook. Sonny Weaver Jr. from Draft Day knows why no one has taken him yet. The QB's that may still go before him include Dak Prescott and Kevin Hogan.
