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?
Bars scouted 1st and foremost, specially if your combine accuracy isn't 100.
