Inside Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti's scouting method for Adam Randall

The Baltimore Ravens don’t usually do things halfway or conventionally. Apparently, that extends all the way to the owner’s office. Since the conclusion of the most recent NFL draft, we've been given some behind-the-scenes access and have witnessed Steve Bisciotti's involvement in Adam Randall's selection process. Perhaps we should have known then. That's just one portion of a fascinating story.

Seeing the Ravens owner step in to make a draft-day selection was an unexpected twist in what was both a fascinating and productive weekend. It certainly raised a few eyebrows - not because owners aren't involved, but more so because of how rare it is for one to be directly tied to a pick. The Adam Randall selection is unique for that reason. At first glance, it felt like a cool, one-off moment. It was a franchise owner stepping into the spotlight for a brief second during draft weekend, but as more details surfaced, it became clear this wasn’t just ceremonial. There was intent behind it.

Adam Randall provides a different kind of scouting report.

Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney made a recent appearance on The Ryan Ripken Show and provided more behind-the-scenes access to a moment that turned heads across the league. Biscotti's involvement was intriguing, no doubt, but by the looks of things, his scouting method went well beyond standard operating procedure.

"He had a SEAL Team 6 guy that I guess he hired to do diligence on a bunch of people... and he says 'I got this SEAL team 6 guy and he said out of 275 people he had Adam Randall ranked 3rd when it came to mental makeup, character, etc...'"
