The number of players under consideration for the 6th pick will not be huge. At 43 and 56, there is a huge number of players who might be under consideration there. But to be one of the top 6, there can't be all that many. So I'd think that if Wilkin and McLeod have narrowed that to 10-15, Hoyer and/or Theo really could go and watch some of them themselves. And thoroughly pore over every bit of input on those guys the other scouts contribute. So it wouldn't surprise me if they really were players in the discussion.
By the time we get to our 2nd round picks and later, I'd be surprised if they knew enough about the choices to make any kind of meaningful contribution. Theo is a pretty smooth talker; he might be effective at making phone calls to guys to say we're interested in you with our next pick; we're committed to player development and there will be tons of opportunities in our organization; but if you picked in the 4th round, are you going to be signable for 4th round money, or should we not bother? I'd think Theo would be really slick at that kind of stuff.
