SmootSmack 03-02-2017, 03:44 PM You are giving thw combine way to much importance. It has become a media three ring circus. We are drafting football playerseason not work out track stars.
Film study, interviewso, medical background and background check are just as important.
Combine is overblown
You do realize a lot of that happens at the combine,right?
Yeah I'd say the combine is a big deal and you want your main decision makers there. It's more than just scouting the upcoming picks, contracts are discussed, trades, etc.
mooby 03-02-2017, 04:00 PM It might be an overhyped shitshow for the fans, but it's actually pretty important for NFL teams. I don't think 40 times are the biggest factor there, this is your best chance to get to know players 1 on 1. And like Matty said, talking business with agents and other teams also happens a lot.
hutch17 03-02-2017, 04:10 PM I'm not trying to say that Bruce Allen is gods gift to scouting or drafting, but I don't understand to ultimate animosity towards him. Have you looked at his one and only draft class.
ROUND (PICK) PLAYER SCHOOL
2 (47) LB Trent Murphy Stanford
3 (66) — From Dallas OT Morgan Moses Virginia
3 (78) — From Dallas G Spencer Long Nebraska
4 (102) CB Bashaud Breeland Clemson
5 (142) WR Ryan Grant Tulane
6 (186) — From Tennessee RB Lache Seastrunk Baylor
7 (217) TE Ted Bolser Indiana
7 (228) — From Tennessee K Zach Hocker Arkansas
Depending on how you classify Murphy that is four starters and a utility receiver out of seven total picks, none of which is a first rounder. I'll take that every year thank you

This was the draft where Allen had contracted for McCloughan's scouting service when we was in between the Seahawks and Redskins jobs. So I wonder how much of a thumbprint he had on this thing.
Still, with each draft class I'm looking for one or more difference makers, and at least 2 starters. I classify Moses as a difference maker, and we've gotten starting production out of 3 others. Not bad for not having a 1st rounder.
hutch17 03-02-2017, 04:22 PM Agreed, I am sure the McC report was used heavily but remember we kept most of our scouts and they are still in place too.
Moses is a Difference maker, I think Long will be the long term solution at C and looks to be top 1/3 at the positon, If they would just let Trent keep his hand in the dirt I feel he could be border line pro-bowler and Bre should be the starter at Nickel and let Dunbar or Fuller be on the outside.
remembering old late round names that I got jacked up about is the best. Bacarri Rambo

PLUS! He very much cleaned up our salary cap issues. BA has done a pretty good job especially since he took over after the Vinny regime.
I am personally glad to have BA.
Also lets remember folks people are not beating the door down for a chance to work with DS either.
