Combine Results vs Scouted Ratings

All of my coaches currently have Scouting ratings of 75+ so let's just assume we're dealing w/ pretty accurate scouted ratings...

The guide says that combine results correlate to player ratings and while not an exact correlation, it's a very strong one because the combine numbers in FOF8 replace the absence of "film" you have on a prospect.

Yet, I'll see players w/ elite combine numbers but low projected ratings (i.e. QB's graded 90+ in the "Position-Specific Drill" but low Accuracy and Timing when scouted) and vice versa (70-something in the "Position-Specific Drill" but high Accuracy and Timing when scouted)

I understand there are "workout warriors" that end up being complete busts (i.e. Vernon Gholston) and vice versa... but which of these should I trust more? My coaches w/ high scouting ratings or the combine numbers themselves?
