    Y'all should freak out about this a little more. This guy might quite literally be a coffee fetcher.

    Cleveland Browns have Terry Talkin' (Grigson) -- Terry Pluto (photos)

    Posted on May 27, 2017 at 7:42 AM

    By Terry Pluto, The Plain Dealer

    ABOUT RYAN GRIGSON

    The Browns have not hired Ryan Grigson to be general manager. That's Sashi Brown, who runs the football operation.

    Nor is Grigson the player personnel director. That's Andrew Berry.

    A former Indianapolis Colts general manager (2012-16), Grigson was named senior personnel executive.

    I asked around about what Grigson will do. He is under Brown and Berry. In fact, Grigson used to be Berry's boss with the Colts.

    Grigson had a spotty record as a Colts general manager. He made the disastrous Trent Richardson deal with Joe Banner in 2013. Unfortunately, that 2014 first-rounder was used in the Johnny Manziel deal.

    Banner was gone by the 2014 draft. Richardson and Manziel are out of the NFL. That trade hurt Grigson's reputation.

    The Browns plan to use Grigson almost like a super scout. He will look at pro and college players. He will even visit some colleges to research prospects. He spent his first 14 years in the NFL as a scout, and the Browns believe that is his strength.

    Hiring people with a proven talent and asking them to focus on just that skill.. rather than promoting them above their talent level?

    It's almost like the Brownies are becoming sentient..

    So it would seem...

    I've said for a while that I love this FO's collective approach. It let's talent emerge and that talent's voice(s) grow stronger in the room rather than taking leap of faith after leap of faith in making extrapolated, top-of-the-pyramid hires only to see them pratfall face-first...

    Am I missing something here? Xplane to the millions πŸ˜› What Grigson has brought to any organization that awards him such a dubious honor? Besides a A. Luck.

    All GM "production", or misdeeds, gum... I doubt we have any way of judging his scouting expertise. Just have to trust Andrew Berry on this one.

    Grudgingly Andrew Berry seems to have found his new groove hanging around the Harvard firm? Gotta start somewhere with Berry cause I did not like his hiring..Mine probably is more personal knowing Bobby Vega from NC.Bobby Vega was hired by Berry as VP of college scouting last year. Knowing Bobby he will not like someone else sticking his nose into his business? If these college picks workout I can't say I don't blame him..It also could go the other way if Grigson eats his pride & is willing to take a step back in work relations..Gotta Hope

    I made an anti Grigson crack earlier in this thread that, after thinking about it, I would take back if I could. Let's give Grigson a chance here. After all, he is NOT the GM here and, as Tour stated, the "Peter Principle" may have come into play. Another factor is that I trust Sashi et al to continue to make what appear to be solid decisions.

    Remember Holmgren?...Fine Coach, but very poor track record once he "moved up".
