Getting to Know the Front Office/Understanding the Scouting Process

Per my original post-2 Pro Scouts plus the Director, and 6 Area (or College) Scouts plus the Director

Around the NFL it varies

Steelers: 2 Pro, 6 Area

I think the Eagles have 10-12 plus Directors and Assistant Directors

The Bengals have 3 total (and I think a consultant)

Very cool OP. Thanks for that.

Any idea the range of salaries these guys make? I'm sure the higher end scouts do pretty well, just curious if it is a relatively good career financially.

Scouts......we need new ones.

I think that Bruce should remain President of football operations and AJ Smith should be named GM. AJ would answer to Bruce. What exactly does Doug Williams do for us?

Scott Campbell should be let go. He has been here for a long time during the talent drain. Bring in a former AJ Smith lieutenant or Alonzo Highsmith from the Packers.

Am I the only one that doesn't like AJ Smith? I give him credit for his good drafting in SD but I hated how he let all his prime talent walk when it came time to pay them. If he got the GM role here I could definitely see him letting what few good pieces we have left hit the door.

Bring back Charlie Casserly

My perception of Smith coincides with yours. But if he had real GM powers, we'd be better off than we are now. Alas, I don't see this happening.

The best GM would be a mix of the football talent smarts of AJ Smith with the contract smarts of Bruce Allen. Thus in my scenario Bruce controls the money and has the final say, while AJ procures the talent and runs the scouting department.

Love Casserly. Can't imagine he's too fond of Snyder but who knows??

I doubt Casserly will want to be a GM again. He's been there, been incredibly successful, and probably makes good $ with tv. He probably doesn't have any interest in the crazy hard work it takes to do that again. I would be great, but I would be stunned.

How many Redskins first round picks were on the field against Indy?

Trent Williams
Ryan Kerrigan
Anybody else?
