I have been preaching here for a while that in regards to so damn many GM interviews that Tepper was learning more and more about how other teams do things. In other industries this is called Business Intelligence and is expensive as hell to invest it. 

Now Rhule says this... 

 

For a couple of guys this new to the NFL game to take the time and really dig in and see how other teams do things I think is brilliant. They both took a huge trip farther up the learning curve.

Interviewing employees of your competitor is a long standing practice and an invaluable tool for collecting intelligence.  You do it whenever you can, subject to certain ethical considerations, such as...

Do you actually have an opening you are trying to fill?

Interview separated employees only or those still employed?

Do you induce the disclosure of protected information through the possibility of a job offer?

Your moral compass will determine how you answer the above questions but be careful, if you are too aggressive, you can step over the line into questionable legality.

I would think that everyone of those conversations also talked about QB at some point.  Not just what we should do but also trying to gain insight into what other teams might be doing.  Not that the other candidates are going to give away confidential information but any information is a plus.

Is this like some new phenomenon that Tepper and Rhule just figured out?  Seems pretty obvious to me...

It's not like you can just interview GM candidates every month. You actually need a position to fill and if you do it in bad faith you will make enemies fast and shoot yourself in the foot

I hate to tell ya, but if you're not pushing the legal boundaries you're going to be losing to the people who do.

True but do bullet point three the wrong way and you could be facing very expensive litigation.   Even if you win, it could be costly in dollars to defend and business reputation.  YMMV.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
