This was pretty fascinating to read. It takes a while, but has a few war-room nuggets and touches on Pettine's tenure in Cleveland. 

Quote

He started the draft by trading down, from No. 4 to No. 9, then traded up to No. 8 to pick Pettine's preferred player, Oklahoma State cornerback Justin Gilbert

Here’s two links called “Senior Bowl Buzz” from Tony Pauline’s site, Wednesday and Thursday respectively:

I was interested and a bit amused by his comments on the topic of “analytics,” (Wed Buzz), and how scouts and GMs that have been scouts feel about the practice of using same. In fact, I found both posts engaging.

Mean time, Chicago signs a second kicker:

Perhaps the Vikings will bring in Parkey if he becomes available...They replaced their kicker mid-season with a guy named Dan Carlson who was ranked, according to ESPN, 20th in the league, while Parkey was 16th.

It would be nice to keep Cody in the division with somebody besides the Packers!

has there ever been a player like Byron Jones?  Miscast as a safety who was way better at CB?

Not a lot of defenses have been as inept as Dallas lately. Richard was huge for them. This is the prime example of why you start a tweener like him at the more valuable of the positions and not shove him where the need is.

Herb Adderly? Ok, not originally a safety.

Modern day?

I Really like Taysom Hill, but not at QB, nor CB.
