A lot of GMs and coaches will say "we knew at the senior bowl" or "we knew at the combine." For instance, the Rams knew Goff was their guy b4 the combine....had it confirmed in combine interviews and thus began to consummated a trade with the Titans at the combine. Point is.... The vast majority of teams right now after the combine know who they want. This is right on target with one exception, at least IMO and that is Allen. Allen has been likely working out with a pro type QB coach for the last 2 months and I believe teams will still be studying him to see what adjustments he has made to his game, before putting a final tag on him. The rest are all as you say. Right now I firmly believe Darnold is our guy, Rosen might have been in the conversation, but 2 concussions and a shoulder injury make it highly unlikely will will draft him. He has very poor escapability when rushed in the pocket, he is basically as statue in the pocket who takes way too many solid hits. If Allen has shown a strong improvement as to his accuracy, he may indeed challenge Darnold, but it had better be a substantial improvement. At #4, I still believe Barkley will be available, because both the Giants and the Colts will receive substantial offers for their picks even if they choose not to draft a QB, so a Darnold/Barkley draft could be in our future and would likely energize our fan base into forgetting our previous failures.

Youre like the great great great great grandaddy I never had....(because most folks dont live 200 years) In the middle of an interview a headhunter once asked me: You do not suffer fools gladly, do you? My answer was: I do not suffer them in any way.I started following this team when Paul Brown was the HC. Even when they came back I had a ton of faith in Mr. Lerner, and thought Randy would at least get some FO talent in and stay out of the way. Under Haslam's stewardship, things have just continually gotten worse. I feel like I am watching a complete cast of fools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You misspelled "FGK". DePo has said in pretty much all of his public interviews that he doesn't really have a role in scouting. More in analysis and process development (looking at how the team does X and if there is a better way) as well as cap management. Overall, fun read, we'll see how it turns out. And as LetsGoBrownies pointed out, I give zero poops what the coaches want. If they can't figure out how to use a franchise QB (Mayfield, Rosen, Darnold, whoever) then they shouldn't have jobs IMO. I actually agree with you about Mariota and that was my point about him & Eli: That presence & leadership come in different forms. We'll need you more than ever on draft day to corral dissent & the craziness if Mayfield is selected. Be ready with your most effective arguments lol. You're absolutely right to say DePo doesnt traditiobally scout the players as his main focus, but he does watch tape, met with football experts past & present to learn how to evaluate core traits of success for each position, & has created a massive database on pro & soon to be pro players for the purpose of running analyses as a vital input in the decision making process on a given prospect/player (he's talked about it publicly). He's paid to be well informed on players himself along with relying on the expert opinion of others. So, he does have his opinions and rankings of the QBs & others much like others do in the now newly created Strategy & Anaylitics Department of which Andrew Berry is a part of despite AB being the one that led the scout meetings & collective watching tape reviews the last 2 years. I think your opinion on coaches having zero input on the decision is solely informed by your lack of confidence in Hue Jackson. That aside, it would make no sense to use the opinion of coaches who have offenses positions or coordinated top 2 offenses in the league (Haley top 2 O; Hue #1 O; Gregg Williams top 4 D). Not listening to various coaches input would take us back to the Ray Farmer days when Kyle Shannahan had Jimmy G & Derek Carr as his top guys, but his input didnt matter.
