It is much easier to evaluate a skill position player. QBs are hard to evaluate even though that sounds counter intuitive.

That's a very good point. Many of the guys you are looking at their film they sent you and not seeing them in practices. It can be much harder to properly see their footwork and technique on film, because they are not in space so much like skilled players are. Also, some guys are going up against kids that are nowhere near as muscular and physical in that film. At least with the skilled players you get an idea of how well they run their routes, make cut-backs, find the open hole, etc.

and this is why those camps that the teams have are so important.

What could be better then having a large number of linemen at a camp where they can be compared head to head.
