I don't think, generally, text sims have figured out scouting yet. I know there have been a bunch of threads here about that.
If you had to get through an NFL/NBA draft with nothing but ESPN.com mock drafts - nobody would notice your results as being drastically different than the teams' hired professionals. (In fact, we tend to evaluate real NFL/NBA drafts by how far they deviate from the mock drafts.) There's really not that much difference between scouts.
I guess in baseball, they have a somewhat more important role, in that they have to "find" lower-rated guys out there in corn fields across America, but again, if a guy has 1st round talent, every scout is going to agree with that. The guy might still be a bust, but anyone would take him in the 1st round.

I play with real ratings off, talent only. Never had any interest in scouts, I like my fog of war the way I play.
