This seems like the equivalent of getting veteran free agent players who take a big discount because they want to come here and play with us.  (Though maybe I shouldn't mention that in the same week that we just cut Brandon Boykin!).  A former Assistant GM and a former Director of College Scouting/Director of Player Personnel now both accepting lower(?) positions as regional scouts?!

Am I understanding the seniority of these positions correctly?

More #Gettlemagic?!

If I read that right, we now have an Assistant Director of College Scouting but no Director.

Wonder if another hire is coming.

I'm sure they are perusing the Huddle feverishly to decide on the next Director. We have several resident know-it-alls that could slide in to place immediately.

At the moment my people and their people are "very" far apart on a compensation package. But we both are going in the right direction and I feel like a deal could get done soon.

I found some old videos of these guys speaking at the combine, Stokes as the player personnel guy for the Bucs in 2014, and Patten as the personnel guy for the 49ers in 2012. both spoke a bit about their philosophy, and I can at least get a sense of how they fit. both spoke of using the combine to get to know players beyond their tape. Patten repeatedly mentioned "value" in terms of draft picks so he'll fit in with Gettleman on that front. interesting that Stokes was let go from Miami. wonder how that was shaking out. it was a big promotion for him, and now he's a regional scout again. and now I'm thinking I've put enough energy into relatively minor football news for the day.

You could take one more ounce of energy and link what you found.

      I don't believe this at all.

      His PPG actually did go up a little in Colorado. We will see. I still sort of believe we saw pretty close to the peak of his abilities last year. Not wishing him ill or trashing him in any way. Just tend to believe we did sell high and correctly so.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Well, other teams also had an offseason. I honestly agree with him. Right now I have way more faith in Coker ascending then I do XL. I think it's the TE/WR group dragging us down. Plus he does mention that the list was made with WR's very much valued more than RB's and TE's(I understand the thought process). In that context, we have a very aging AT, two "wait and see" second year players(one leaning bust) and a rookie.  I really think this is a very fair rating, on paper and in the offseason. Quite frankly, aside from the aforementioned and aging AT, this is a bunch of guys still trying to prove themselves.  Then when you go to TE, it's easily a bottom 3-4 unit on paper. That is probably being extremely generous.  RB is where we make our hay. Probably a top 5-10 unit. But....he mentions early in the article that he doesn't value the RB units as much.  So, really, it's the weighting of the skill positions that is what really fugs us.
