Oh, and Chase, duh...

I think we've got some good scouts, but i seem to remember reading that we have one of the lowestpaid scouting departments in the league. i highly doubt we've got the best of the best in our organization. in addition, as was often the case with vinny and danny making the picks, none of it means a thing unless Shanahan and Allen actually listen to the advice they are getting from their staff. Shanahan and Allen need a third guy whom they both respect working with them. And they need to listen to what this guy suggests 90% of the time.
