I don't know the inner workings, but I suspect that BA has some influence, maybe just enough to limit him. plus I trust allen is a redskin at heart, shanny is a coach first and foremost. doesn't mean squat if BA can't do his job, but obviously he can, so his heart can matter.

MS just wasn't a good gm in denver, no reason to think he would be here.

Looked at Smoot's excellent stickied thread, Allen has more say in picking players than the press gives him credit for, with Campell handling the draft scouting and Brown handling the FA scouting. But maybe Shanny's still doing a good job "respecting the process" and would make a good GM here?

I don't have anything against Scott Campbell, but I wished that once Bruce Allen became the GM he would gotten rid of most if not all of the people that worked with and under Vinny. He decided to keep the same people much to my amazement.

Supposedly one of the things Vinny was infamous for, was going against the scouts recommendations.

Hmmm.....Maybe the scouting department isn't to blame then. At any rate, I'm glad to see the scouting department is locating those players with great potential to be rock solid NFL talent.
