As for what I look for in a prospect, I think that's all subjective. It depends on what skills you value.

Hmm. Never thought to check OSA ratings... Unfortunately reports aren't that helpful if you had a good season and thus a low draft position (i.e. why were there 30 teams checking out Johnny Football when 20 of them have no shot to either draft him or trade up that far).
As for what I look for, a pulse is high on the list
. I'm usually pretty lazy and go by my scout's reported potential, although I really should cross-check individual ratings of guys who "drop".
Most of my real winners come from plucking winners out of other teams' minors after they've done the picking, weeding, and grooming for me...
