Hear me out, scouts and dave will pick the best player for their system based on performance and talent.  However, if a certain player shows a track record and can use their talents in a system that is used on the team then they gain an advantage over their peers.  My point being regional players may be selected based on where assistant coaches comes from.  Linder via Jedd seems like the spot on example for this. 

 

Furthermore, I think the draw for coaches within the region to come to the Jaguars is stronger than players, however it has a lasting impact on players who will come from the similar programs. 

 

If our front office hires a coach with pac 12 background, then he is more likely to hire pac 12 assistants, and therefore we run schemes that pac 12 players excel in. 

 

 

I'm confident if you align drafted players who excel at their position to coaching trees and who for/where the players played it would be pretty outstanding.
