When the 2016 NFL Draft arrives, teams will look players that can impact franchises for the next decade. If the opinion of one scout is correct, that's not a good thing for the state of offense in football.



According to Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report, an NFL scout blasted the offensive talent in the upcoming draft.



"This is one of the worst drafts for offensive talent in the past four or five years," the scout said.



While that blanket statement is eye-opening enough for teams that possibly need offensive help, like, say the Giants on the offensive line, Jets at running back and Eagles (even with Sam Bradford back) at quarterback, the scout didn't stop there.



"There is talent there, but it's marginal," said the scout on the quarterback class of 2016. "They've all been inflated by the fact they know how to work out at the combine, but the tape isn't really all that impressive to me. Not a single one who makes you go, 'Wow.' The best teams can hope for is that one of these guys becomes Trent Dilfer."



While there's a chance the reference was leaning toward the Super Bowl winning Trent Dilfer, it's much more likely that a journeyman with a career completion percentage of 55.5 was the version of Dilfer on the scout's mind.

Kirk Cousins 2.0?



Of course, there's a chance that this talent evaluator could be totally wrong--especially when it comes to the quarterback class. Just last week, NFL Draft analyst Mike Mayock caused waves by comparing Wentz to Andrew Luck and Lynch to Joe Flacco.

Opinions vary this time of year, but hearing an NFL scout throw that much criticism at the offensive talent available in April makes next week's NFL free agency bonanza even more fascinating to watch. If teams agree with this evaluation, veteran offensive players could cash in before the draft arrives.
