While I agree, you can do it even without the tool, but you have to rely heavily on your U21 manager. Before I discovered NT Scout, we scouted for 18y olds in every league after each draft and put good 18y olds in the database. As those players progress, U21 manager is updating their skills and when they are 22y olds, the best ones can be added to NT database.
But of course NT Scout is so, so, so much better
EDIT: I also think BBs didn't implement a NT scout on purpose, because they wanted NT and U21 managers to do the work by themselves, like real life scouts.
