Getting to Know the Front Office/Understanding the Scouting Process

[SmootSmack]

This is "on paper" how the previous administrations ran it. But Vinny wasn't really one to consider other opinions so the whole process was thrown out the window often. Or sometimes Snyder.

Like Snyder wanted Joey Harrington back in 2002. Big time. And he wanted Rock Cartwright. Rock was easy to get of course. Harrington was tough, and thankfully impossible. But they tried to get him, though the scouts didn't necessarily have him ranked so high

Similarly back in 2008, Scott Campbell was insistent that the team not draft Malcolm Kelly but Cerrato wanted him so Kelly climbed to the top of the draft board.

But that sort of stuff happens all over the league. And in my walks of life.

If only Scott Campbell was our GM in those years...
