    I still don't see any football experts with criteria to tell the difference between a Kessler and a Prescott or a Wentz vrs a trade down...

    The player evaluators are called "scouts" and, no, you can't see them...

    The "vs.tradedown" becomes a consideration only when the scouts are not able to agree/consense with the other evaluation tools on the worth of a prospect... any prospect... commensurate with the pick available.

    In the case of a FA, it is worth commensurate with price.

    So T, curious as to who you think makes the pick when the inevitable happens that there is no consensus? Someone has to write a players name on a card and turn it in to the NFL before the clock ticks to zero?

    Someone has to have the final say, and it's my understanding that it's Sashi......

    Again.... when there is no consensus player worth the pick, the pick is traded. It is really can be that easy. It is also no different than any FO who has "the guy" you so long for... the guys we've had from Farmer to Chuckles to Holmgren.... guys like Ozzie... guys like Bill... etc... etc.

    Now if no trade partner can be found? Then it's the next guy on the board... even if you believe he can be had later in the draft. But generally speaking high picks are not hard to trade,

    Wow..... In my everyday life for 49yrs I know how hard it is to get just three people to agree on anything, much less 5, 8, 11.... Guess we should look for many more trades throughout the life of The Process.

    FWIW, it was Sashi himself who said he had 'final say' when Hue was hired/introduced in what seems like a lifetime ago....

    Maybe you've identified the real problem.  Nobody makes decisions, and suffers the consequences, in the Browns organization.

    At least with Pettine there was a crazy look and a depressed look.  The current regime has a Socky, "don't worry we got this" facade.

    Well, Pettine hated losing more then Hue. I swear, if Hue gives that stupid "I came here to win" speech that he gives every single week again, I'll lose it.

    He should throw a curveball, "I came here to lose until I start winning."

  • Well with the Giants being ass raped by the 49ers....we are very nearly on the clock for the #1 overall pick.

    But the Giants only have one win too so they are tied for second within reach of a brilliant Hue redzone playcall.

    So yes, we're safely in first.😛

    Which will be Sam Darold.  Then by week 7 next year when the team is 1-6 and he is underachieving, we will here how the departure of Joe Thomas weakened the O-Line so much Tom Brady wouldn't be successful.

    SWEET!! We already have 1 win in the 7 games?? The Process works after all!

    "Wow"... after all this time you still cannot grasp the concept of consensus decision making. I have no idea what the 2nd half of your opening means.

    BTW... that concept does not exclude the idea of the process empowering a person with the "final say"... it simply defines the placement of that say and what it is based upon. The statement by Sashi, one which you are fond of recalling, simply says that he, not Hue, leads the player selection process in which Hue has a role, but for which Hue does not have responsibility.

    As for the number of people... best I can tell it is likely capped at 5 rather than starting at 5.
