Toddfather Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 ESPN article Quote Eliot Wolf will join the Cleveland Browns and serve as one of John Dorsey's top advisers as they try to rebuild a team that went winless last season. Looks like he will be the no.2 in Cleveland. I was one of the many who thought it wasn't his time yet. That being said I really hoped he would stay in Green Bay until his time came to be the no.1 somewhere. Oh well, I hope he has success with Dorsey.

HighCalebR Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Someone's salty. He would've been in the same spot here. Bring in the Irish man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketchup Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Peace Eliot. Hope it works out for all 3 former Packer front office guys over in Cleveland. They have a ton of draft assets to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackFan4Life Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Solid move for him. Good time for Titletown to move on from him. Bring in more fresh eyes with more new ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTwoSixFive Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Unfortunately for Eliot Wolf, over the years it has got a bit log-jammed at the top of the executive tree. That seems extraordinary given the exodus of Schneider, McKenzie, Dorsey, the loss of Highsmith and the move upstairs for TT. I wish Wolf well, in Cleveland (I always thought he would go if not made GM). Now the front office depth looks thinner than it has been for years. With Wolf gone and Gute in at GM, there doesn't seem much behind them. That is good news for guys like John Wojciechowski and Jon Eric Sullivan who have more space above them to get promoted into, and for for a college scout/coordinator to step up, as well. I think the Packers are fine as they are, but you wouldn't want to see any more big losses - this executive tree has been pruned back hard enough as it is.

Chili Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Cleveland has loads of draft picks and the decision makers just so happens to be ex Packers front office guys. Highsmith and Wolf has scouted the current pool of incoming draft prospects and they already know who we like and don't like. You can absolutely bet on them making our draft extremely difficult for us this year. Its almost certain they will be drafting the players we like especially towards the later rounds. Make no mistake, Wolf and Hightower will be motivated to "beat" us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSG Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Not at all surprised by this. We kept him from interviewing for jobs and then passed him up when our GM job was available. Time will tell if we made the right decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Seriously not all that worried. Seems like he and his pops are a bit "butt" hurt by the Packers passing him over even though Gutenkunst is/was the better candidate. Don't think we'll miss him much tbh.

A) They don't draft in the area the Packers draft, thus, they will not steal anyone which they consider BPA in early rounds and B) They signed with the Browns to build their roster, depending on their needs and fits for their scheme, not to hurt the Packers "stealing" their favorite players. Otherwise they'd have the completely wrong job and should be kicked out of town in Cleveland immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think its pretty early in the draft season and the teams are still collecting info and writing reports more than honing in on who they want. This is new for Packer fans, but every year the GM and front offices around the league are shuffled in January. If it happened in March, different story. Edited to add that Eliot was on the pro personnel side, more limited on the college draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haha21 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Watch Cleveland turn this all around in a couple years and you will be able to thank the Packers for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
