I never said it was, but when your whole team is as slow as it was in that Buffalo playoff game then you need to get faster as a team.

Wait. Wasn’t Eliot Wolf a “consultant“ until after the 2022 draft? If so, that would make 2023 his first draft.
The way the front office and coaching staff were assembled is a bit unusual. There is a lot that needs to be played out. I am trying to take an open minded approach and hope that everyone has been chosen based on their football knowledge as opposed to their willingness to take input from ownership.I am not as optimistic as you. The Bears, Vikings, Colts, and 49ers all interviewed Wolf and passed. Maybe he will work out, but clearly not a hot prospect.

It was also a matter of them being old. Old & slow. Some of those players were considered fast in the peak of their careers.I never said it was, but when your whole team is as slow as it was in that Buffalo playoff game then you need to get faster as a team.
They have to choose the best people and then have patience.That’s fine, I have very little to actually go on but I’m hopeful he wil do a good job for them. Same goes for Mayo. I’m happy the Kraft’s took some chances. But only time will tell whether they made the right choices or not.
I used to admire Ron Wolf's work a lot, and you can still see his imprint on the Packers (in the NFL) today. They do seem to draft the best players available, at least take a lot of players on my personal board, and take superior athletes overall.The way the front office and coaching staff were assembled is a bit unusual.

This is a worry.
Because Eliot Wolf's stated criteria for putting together a team sounds like what anyone in his position should say. BPA, don't panic, don't cut corners, stay with the plan. But then you have the media, Krafts and fans breathing down your back, and what do you do? You go into the draft trying to fill needs, you sign FAs to big contracts, you trade away picks for vets.
This reminds me of talk I went to yesterday. It all sounded great in the abstract, but none of the principles meant anything really until they were put to the test.
At the end of the day, it's the owner who needs to have the patience to see the thing through. Because if the owner starts doing what 80% of the other owners do (sell hope), we're going to have a problem. Worse: this place will be known as a place that requires immediate production.
This is part of the job description of a GM in the NFL.But then you have the media, Krafts and fans breathing down your back, and what do you do?
I'd say the development side is more important as you can find talent through the draft, free agency, or trades and none of it matters if you aren't coaching/developing correctly.I used to admire Ron Wolf's work a lot, and you can still see his imprint on the Packers (in the NFL) today.

Where the Packers seem to falter after that, is either in player development or on the field execution... coaching. I know some here believe Tom Brady was responsible for everything and coaching just takes care of itself once you have a QB, but that's a total load of garbage. Despite having superior QB play the entire time, the Packers only played in Super Bowls and won a single championship when Mike Holmgren was running the ship or later after another coach failed and Wolf's heir apparent Ted Thompson hired Mike McCarthy as head coach, Joe Philbin to run the offense and Dom Capers to run the defense. That's the lone championship of Aaron Rogers long storied career.
The Patriots hopefully become that uber drafting machine, but they also need Mayo and co to become an uber development team... they need both.
Seems like he has been put aside in the corner. Maybe they consider him to closely aligned with Bill.Where does this leave Groh? Curious where's the line that splits their duties.
So then this whole philosophy stuff is nonsense.This is part of the job description of a GM in the NFL.
The philosophy isn't nonsense in and of itself. It's how effective it is and how quickly it produces results (those usually go hand-in-hand).So then this whole philosophy stuff is nonsense.
It certainly seems like they are giving preference to Wolf. Nothing official will be done until after the draft.Seems like he has been put aside in the corner. Maybe they consider him to closely aligned with Bill.
I watch Drake Maye and see a guy who had to make chicken salad out of chicken sht. He was always under pressure, including interior pressure.
You're missing my point. If the owner is panicking, the GMs philosophy is nonsense. The owner has to buy into the GM for the philosophy to work.The philosophy isn't nonsense in and of itself. It's how effective it is and how quickly it produces results (those usually go hand-in-hand).
Wolf has been overseeing pro scouting, and Groh college. If Groh leaves, one of our scouts will have to be elevated.It certainly seems like they are giving preference to Wolf. Nothing official will be done until after the draft.
Now the question becomes is Groh being kept around just for the draft or will he also be part of Wolf's team going forward. This is very common as so much of the work for the draft gets done during the college season you don't throw out the guys who did the work until after the draft. Grier was actually still here for Bill's first draft in 2000 as an example.

Ivan. Bottom line is that there has been consensus among scouts that Daniel's weakness is accuracy for intermediate MOF routes. This is a critical skill to have in the NFL.Show us the scouting reports that say that Daniels isn’t tough Sam? My belief is that you are now just making **** up. But we will see if you can prove I’m wrong about that?
