Nick Caserio Checks Out Boston College Pro Day; Talks About Draft Process

Director of player personnel Nick Caserio, director of college scouting Jon Robinson and QB coach Bill O'Brien were on hand at Harvard University today for Boston College's Pro Day.  While there aren't the big names this year like Matt Ryan and B.J. Raji that drew crowds in the past, some of the local talent was there — including BC’s OL Matt Tennant, LB Mike McLaughlin, and Holy Cross QB Dom Randolph.

Caserio talked to Albert Breer about where the college pro days fit in the scouting process when evaluating players.

"I’d say 80, 90 percent of it is done," Caserio said. "You’ve had the fall evaluation. Some have gone to an all-star game, so you’ve had the opportunity there. Some have gone to the combine, some haven’t, so this is kind of the last piece of their puzzle, and from there, you’re kind of processing all the information. And hopefully you have a snapshot – 'OK, here’s what the player is, based on all the information with his track record'.

What follows pro days are individual workouts and then in-house team visits for the more serious prospects.  At that point, "it's all about figuring out the person, rather than the player."  Caserio visited Rutgers' Pro Day on Wednesday and has another one on Friday.  No off-season rest for the coaching staff yet.
