[QUOTE=SFREDSKIN;1104019]I've followed Scot here in SF and Seattle and have always been jealous of the picks he made for those team while we got some good (mostly average talent). The 49ers have had some great drafts since 2005 (when Scot Joined) to the present day with Baalke.



The question is:



Does Baalke's success come due to the scouting team assembled by Scot or is Trent Baalke just as talented? I say both.



Yes, Scot also whiffed on some picks like passing on Aaron Rogers and going with Alex Smith instead. Scot to me is a real savvy GM, he assembled great talent on 2 teams and yes he had some personal issues (drinking) which were never revealed until he left Seattle. I wasn't aware that he had been hanging out in a farm in Seattle chilling, till I read the ESPN article and was like, why don't the Skins go after him. The rest is history and we got lucky as hell that the Raiders wanted to be the Raiders and not offer him full control and get rid of McKenzie.[/QUOTE]


Wouldn't really say he wiffed on drafting Alex Smith. He did have a a year when he made the pro bowl and led his team to the playoffs, and he still has a starting QB role in the NFL. And even if he wiffed there, he made it up with his second selection, F Gore, probably San Frans best franchise RB.

In comparison the Skins really show why this franchise is where it is in their first two picks that year. Two first round selections and neither of those players lasted past their initial rookie deals, Carlos Rogers and J Camp. Both of which are on NFL rosters at positions the Redskins are in need of. Hopefully we are beyond trading away or not re-signing our drafted talent.

Hey, Virgil freaking Tibbs is new here, he's not used to the way we do things around here. Let him settle in, we all remember a young member who came in rattling the earth and panicking everyone until he settled in line too. Listen Virgil freaking Tibbs, you have to understand we all step in the same line here, so don't try to rewrite the book ;).

[quote=Chico23231;1104014]Hey ss, what's your opinion about the structure within the organization, what changes there can we anticipate?

I would expected Campbell to go and scouting department to be completely revamped, which will be a huge improvement to the org. I would hope McC will bring in someone from the outside, one of his guys, to be a like General assistant to him. Someone who can not only assit but can buffer as well and keep the lackies at bay. It seems like the skins organization is somewhat game of thrones-ish. Sadly.[/quote]

You would think that scouts will stay until after the draft. Firing all the scouts in the lead up to the draft is cray cray, even if they are not the best scouts.

McCloughan said that he will go through FA and the draft with the current staff and this will be his evaluation time for them. He said he will make decisions after that whether new people need to be brought in.

Re: A New Day: Scot McCloughan GM Thread Part 2
 

Somebody said it earlier.......undoubtedly he has compiled much info regarding the upcoming draft. It should be no stretch to apply it to this team....

Yeah. Right with you there EQ. I really hate it when newbies flood the forum with one word posts just to build up their post count.

Oh, wait ...

(But, yes. I agree it is just a continuation of the last thread which SmootSmack - with brilliant insight - noticed and reasonably remedied).

(Yes, JR is still in the kiss-up running).

Like you, I think the whole FO thing is gonna go to poop in the fall. But if McC can reform our scouting and perhaps clear out some dead wood, that could be an enduring contribution of his.
