Every organization has a group whose job is to do that exclusively. Usually it's called pro scouting. You can find the bio for the Saints director of pro scouting, Terry Fontenot, here: New Orleans Saints: Terry Fontenot

And I seriously doubt pro scouts would waste their time reading fan forums. They have access to tape on every player in the league.

I didn't even get that far down the original post, Guido. Of course they are not going to waste time reading fans opinions of players.

Well if the other teams in the league had any sense, they'd read the B&G forums. The thinking fan's site.
