Scott Fitterer.... let's grade his drafts and FA signings

I'm not sure if the jury is still out on Fitterer or they have not even started deliberating yet. 

Our owner made such a mess of the division of responsibilities about who did what and to what extent is mostly unknown.  We know that the guy who had the personnel control in his contract was shown the door.  We also know he was a control freak who wanted to control everything down to the toilet paper used in the bathrooms.  We suspect that sometime after the end of the 2021 season how much control he had was altered by the guy writing the checks, but we don't know to what extent.

It was an NFL version of the MASH episode where they are dealing with a supply officer who is a lieutenant, getting nowhere, asking him who his boss is and he replies "my sergeant."

The best anybody can realistically give Fitterer right now is an incomplete.  The others involved in this comedy are not nearly as fortunate.

Reasonable as far as we go...

That said, during his interview with Will Kunkel, Fitterer basically stated that he and Dan Morgan were the lead in the head coaching search.

That would tell me that at least as far as Tepper goes, there's not any need for "deliberation".

(and that's consistent with what we've heard from other sources)

That’s fair. Start the scoreboard after Rhule. 
 

Traded best offensive player for the equivalent of a mid 2nd rounder. 
 

Turned down 2 1sts, and 37 this year for the privilege of paying a player 25M+ a year. 
 

  Let’s see how these work out.

Walking away from the Rams offer for Burns really, well, burns.  I reluctantly declined on the two firsts since they were 2024 and 2025, but when they added their second this year, which most of us knew would be in the top 10 picks of the second round, well, you run to the bank with that deal.

And the logic is much the same as it was for trading CMC.  Not sure how we didn't either pull the trigger on both or walk away from both.  We were either selling players not on their rookie contracts or we weren't.

    • Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

    • 2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
