Canton Mike Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 I have to admit that, as optimistic and positive a Browns Fan as I am, I am NOT happy that HE was brought back. I guess we'll see what happens. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumby73 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Berry sat in the same 2018 pre-draft room with John Dorsey.. Might have been the best draft we have had since 1999? Dorsey brought in Scot McCloughan that draft, as a personal consultant to scout any players game tape with a high tech video machine called a Rodeo..The Rodeo could take you to a specific scouting play by simply controlling 3 buttons & your game scouting notes & players name.. Scot McCloughan was the guy to hire for this spot, imho.. but no, Grigson is who Berry chose to know.. In Berry's own presser words "We will be a scouting hub centered front office" In my own words "that depends on how many football bro's you know at your age of 32" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 The Browns Hire Asshat Grigson Back As Consultant! That's absolutely brilliant!

ballpeen Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 1 hour ago, nickers said: So I guess that means you settle for garbage , then.... Not at all. Berry knows and trusts this guy. Sorry if you don't approve. We needed a helping hand. We are probably a little behind the 8-ball on time. Right now Berry and Stefanski have to spend their time grading out current team players, Who we want to keep and who we want to replace or who we will release. Also decide who we will go after in FA. That begins March 8th, so that has to be their focus for the next 2-3 weeks. As I see it, Grigson and Depo with finish up the initial board. Not that they are setting the board. All the final scouting reports are now in. Geig and Depo will rank all the draftable players based on the scouting report grades. Any player graded undraftable are possibly UDFA candidates after the draft. They will get that sorted out...as a overall board and then the individual position group boards. The combine will determine who needs to drop in ranking and who needs to be dropped off the board. Maybe a few players bump up on their own, plus some of the guy who didn't make the initial board might get on the board. Then, all can get together for hours to discuss the players, why we want this guy or why we don't want this guy. Depo drops his info on various players, scouting directors advocate for or against a player...then the final board is set. I hope we stick to the board, especially early. I see it this way on the draft. There will be 3 QB selected before our pick at #10, so we really get to pick one of the 7 best non-QBs in the draft. At least one OT will be drafted before our pick. I know people want a tackle, but when you start looking at boards across the net, can you honestly say there are two tackles in the top 7 players? I read a good article, I will try to find and post. It graded player as super star potential, day one potential and so on down to undraftable. This was from a football guy. If we are there and pass on a player with a potential superstar grade to take a day one starter because he fills a OT need, we are making a big mistake. I don't know who gets those grades and don't know there aren't 2-3 tackles with the highest grade range. Basically it said if multiple players at different positions are inside the various grading ranges, select the player of need in that range. If you don't, don't go to the next range down to fill a need. As you get to the 2nd round on down, the players inside a grading range increases each round. You will almost always be able to draft for need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haslam isn't a idiot. It is also a very different situation then 3-4 years ago. We were in draft asset accumulation mode. We aren't there today. Everybody knows we have a better team than our record shows. Had the Boob Dorsey not hired the Boob Kitchens, we might have been a playoff team last year. But....Doofus wanted a yes man and hired a guy way out of his class....and I like Freddie. Freddie isn't a head coach. Freddie is a damn good assistant coach who is going to make a very nice living for as long as he wants. He knows how to coach the positions on O, and he is a likeable guy. People will listen to him, but he isn't a manager, and at head coach, you have to be a skilled manager. Dorsey is kind of the opposite. He is a good manager, but nobody who works with him, likes him. Asshole probably best describes his management style. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my answer to the other question is we didn't allow those who had to take apart, rebuild. We don't know if they can't, right? You can't rebuild and tear down at the same time.

"The exact nature of Grigson’s role is unknown. He does have GM experience and knows Berry, so he could have value as a sounding board and mentor for the precocious new head of the Browns operations. Based on his career as a talent evaluator, Grigson probably shouldn’t have much to do with actual scouting or decision-making." He's only going to be one voice in the room anyway when it comes to talent evaluation- I'm sure everyone else there is well aware of the Trent Richardson fiasco, and him forgetting a decent OL was a good idea, instead of sending Andrew Luck into early retirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I forget which media person reported that on 92 The Fan - Chris SomethingOrOther) Beyond a doubt- this sort of stuff seriously concerns me. Regarding Betelguese going supernova in our lifetime, it would be quite a show. Might be visible in the daytime? Get real- easily visible in the daytime, even in the summer with the sun close by. Some estimates say as bright as the full moon, but still a relative pinpoint of light. The one thing missing on my lifetime Astronomy resume. We're overdue for a supernova in our galaxy. The last, Tycho's star- was over 500 years ago. Two bright comets- Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp, and three total solar eclipses. Well, that and if we have another Leonid meteor shower like back in the 1800s. They were coming down so fast they couldn't be counted. Eyewitnesses said it looked like it was a major snowstorm coming out of the sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
