What happens with Kyle Smith?

[SkinzWin]

That’s a wrap folks. Lock the thread.

Per @JasonLaConforta “Hearing the WFT has moved on from former top personnel exec Kyle Smith and is also making significant changes to its college scouting staff”

While he maybe right on this, JLC and Chris Russell are 2 of the least reliable when it comes to WFT news. Personally I will wait for Keim, Rappaport, or Finlay to say it is a wrap. Typically scouting staff changes come after this year's draft, so my guess and expectation would be that any major changes come after that - unless KS receives a top notch offer.

How about this then?

Cooley on Kyle Smith via @SheehanPodcast: “Ron wanted nothing to do with anyone that shook hands with Bruce Allen in that building, they are all gone....Bruce Allen culture, See ya!”

Can't complain too much about that plan.

When phrased that way I'm all for any move Ron makes.

Well, in terms of sources Cooley is 100 times better than Russell or LaCanfora, and notice that Cooley's actually gives a reason as opposed to simply making a baseless statement based on speculation.

And Warthog, your speculation about DS moles is valid too. I think Ron is going to bring in people that have zero allegiance outside of the team and potentially to Ron.

I think Cooley is an outstanding source and analyst.

Rivera wants people who are loyal to HIM. He’s right, because if the team continues to keep winning, Snyder will undoubtedly try to get back into the personnel decision-making process if he can. Dan Snyder can’t do anything publicly to get into micromanaging the team like he used to. But offering money, on the side, could get Dan Snyder back into the process.

Maybe we’ll be lucky and the NFL owners may force Snyder to sell. We’ll see. I’m starting to get more pessimistic of the chances that the other NFL owners will force Snyder to sell. It really depends on the other accusers and what they charge Snyder with.

Are you saying that if the team continues on a winning trajectory that Dan Snyder will eventually bribe someone to "get back into the personnel decision-making process?"

I don't even know what you mean by that...

This is exactly how I read it too.

Imagine Dan pleading with Ron "listen, I'll double your salary if you'll allow me input into the roster building process. Please!" hahaha

Hard to disagree with that.

My thing is, Kyle Smith and the scouts are the ones who set the board for this year's draft. Hence why most scouting personnel changes are done after the draft. If you're doing it now, does it upset the draft board? What about all the work they put in?

I’m assuming the new hires have their own boards and have been actively scouting. I’d also assume K. Smith’s board is deemed property of the organization, and stays with the team.

So if they want to go over his list I’m sure they can while still having their own.
