Do Prospects Really Rise or Fall After All-Star Games and the NFL Combine?

Every year following the All-Star games and again following the Combine, we see Draft Analysts put our lists of players who have risen or fallen on Draft Boards following these events. Does this happen? Well, yes, it happens with the analysts, but not with the different NFL clubs. Here's why…

During the fall, scouts from the different NFL clubs have made school calls to every school in the country that has a prospect. In many cases, several school calls were made to each school. These players have been well-evaluated. They wouldn't have been invited to the Combine or an All-Star game if they hadn't been thoroughly scouted.
