True. However, it is pretty hard to judge players outside of these camps because of the discrepancy in the competition. For example, watch Damien Harris's highlight film. Is he really that good? Or is the opponent really that bad?

It's a opportunity for evaluators to get

Legit measurables,40 time's,verts,ect..
OL VS DL in pads
QB's/WR's perform a huge variety of Passes/Routes,ect..

Why are some of you against using these competitions as way's to measure a prospects potential? The system has allot of flaws but are 247,Rivals,ect.. supposed to just go off of highlight reels,stats from the player or his HS coach and the UA/Army bowl to form a list?

A camp where they have full access to watch players tested in a variety of ways at their position shouldn't be factored in to the rankings they make?
