but then I look at Ross on the field blowing by dudes, getting wide open and looking athletic as hell. I refuse to hear about his testing. Trust your eyes.

Thats why a lot of the pre-draft "scouting" you see on this board has to be taken with a grain of salt, I feel.
We don't have the luxury of seeing them in person to know what their true capabilities are. Sure, you can look at footage online nowadays, but even then it feels like you're only getting half the story. And even with the ability to look at footage, most of the Draft Room guys rely heavily on the numbers anyways. "Oh but his 40 is slow. Oh but his 3 cone. His short, his hand size is small" you get what I mean. And then they'll get frustrated that we didn't pick " their guy" that had all the best numbers and literally cry about it all season long. (see Pickens vs Moore)
Idk, I'm not going to pretend like I know any better than the people who do actually like to scout in their spare time, but I also feel like the people who get paid a shit ton of money to do it know better, and its better to just shut the **** up and trust them.
