2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

What I wonder, is how the new FO will handle college scouting. Did our current scouts do enough or were they part of the issue with our poor drafting? Will the new FO bring in their own people ASAP, or will they have to rely on whatever quality the previous regime used? It is a lot to get right, and solid organizations have a functional and efficient scouting corps. My guess is that we did not.

I am not going to be surprised if we bring in some 3rd party analytics or if the new GM brings some pieces with them.

I can’t imagine we roll with Ron’s scouting department

I'd throw all the old notes away. The new staff will have approximately 100 days to build their board. That's enough time. And I'm sure anyone in the running has already started building their own boards.

Josh Harris already hired Eugene Shen to head up the analytics department. He's one of the best in the business and he's been working here for months.

I was just wondering the same thing. It takes more than one new personnel guy to build a draft board. All the more reason to see this as a 2-year project.

Zero chance the new Front Office will rely on anything the previous regime used. That shit is on its way to the burn barrel as we speak.

You may be right but I wonder if Snyder or Rivera ever had any regard for the scouting reports. Isn't it possible that that the scouting department under the old regime had good people whose efforts were disregarded? I imagine that they may have had the lowest morale of any group in the building - other than all women, of course.

I wonder which scouts sold Ron on his last 3 first round picks?

I don't count CY, literally everyone was drooling over him, he was just a straight up bust

It is not, most teams in transition will use the resources from the existing scouting staff. Scouting is a year long process, and it'd be ridiculous for the new regime to throw that away and be months behind other teams.

The current scouting staff and probably a lot of the mid level front office staff will be around until the draft. After that they will all be fired.
