So where do I send my resume? 

Experience: Huddle draft guru

Qualifications: Tepper sucks.

 

Once Tepper figures out the huddle could just run a poll on what to do, he saves money, and essentially would yield the same results.....we all could be part of the team!!

I was expecting the ax to fall on the college scouting side.  Interesting.

maybe quietly in season?  Hard to really axe them after the draft or leading up to it (time).  I mean, that's like saying we things these guys really suck...but we let them formulate our 2024 draft anyway right before we fired them.

No idea why we didnt get rid of the entire scouting department a long time ago.  Why wait till after the draft.  I assume that played a part in why this draft felt like every other draft of the past few years.

I said emphatically that the franchises fortunes would not change until the scouting dept was overhauled. Way too many misses on draft picks.

Mr Scot and Juan both said to wait until after the draft. Glad to see it happen.

I was wondering about this so good to know they are going in a whole different direction altogether.

Worse drafts than even Marty Hurney? Yeah.... see ya.

It was the pro scouts, still have the same college scouts as of now.

They scout during the season (obviously) so this is the only time to switch things up.

We’ll, unless you want to go into FA and the draft with no scouts.

I bet we start hearing about firings on that side tomorrow or next week.

Already noticing differences

At least this year, we did not see photos of Xavier hugging Mrs. Tepper (even if others were hugged, it simply suggests owner involvement on a premature level, imo)--there were no cute news conferences wherein the head coach jokes about drafting a RB because he had a good game against Baylor and his wife told him to; There are not recordings of the head coach calling a long snapper and trying to convince him that he is being drafted and not pranked.    In other words, I get the feeling that the GM was actually able to do his job this year--we shall see.

Well I saw it was pro scouts anyways but yes.  If it was our college scouts I would have rather gotten rid of them a long time ago.  Why keep bad scouts around until after the draft just to have them?  No scouts might be better than bad ones.  Huddle polls would have done better drafts than our team the past several years.

Scouting is a year long process, to bring someone in at the same time Morgan was named the GM would be shooting ourselves in the foot.  This has happened with all our GM changes btw.

    • Personal preference but despite loving blue as a color in general, it's not often I like it being such a dominant color.  That and it's hard to knock off the traditional white on white as my personal favorite combination. Not only is it a clean look, the majority of the greatest moments this franchise has had - 03 Super Bowl run, 15 Cam to Olsen against the Seahawks, etc - were with that combo. 
    • You people keep making me defend the 2024 class.  Look XL might as well be 2nd rounder, guys drafted in the 30s-50s do not have what the first round 1-10 have. There's a huge gap. *Most drafts have a tier system that varies. 1-8, 9-14, 15-30, 30-50. Each level there's a huge talent fall or more risk involid. SInce Im a interwebz grandpa, "Back in my day" WRs took 3 full seasons before you knew the ones that had the talent. XL still has time to figure it out and if he doesn't, toss on 20 LBs and give TE a try.....Ive seen him blocking the number off players recently... I still holding out he and BY and...Dave can ALL figure out how to break XL out of the slump.  Im not going to defend Brooks, it was wrong. I heard they viewed him as a first rounder, still.......no more. Wallace is looking better each week after that terrible week one, he's looking more and more like a great pick now. Sanders- a little unlucky, but he's the #1 TE on the roster. He's just got to figure out the silly minor injuries bug. Great pick for a 4th if he does, CSW- Unlucky with minor injuries too, but he's the starting NB. Great pick for the 5th round too as he's a legit starter. Crumedy- part of a deep DL and facts are he is the 50s on roster ranks. Still for a 208, that's about what's normally happens. He's still on the team and next year could have a better role.  UDFA- Coker and RIchardson. They also signed Tremayne form that year, he made the deeeeep WR group and plays a solid ST.    Im a former draft nerd... If you draft 2 starters and a top backup, that's a good/great draft. *Thus far this 2024 class has netted 4 starters, one backup, and one prayer. If you include and should the UFDA its increases the impact. 
    • Sounds like no Garrett Wilson next week…
