HerdMenatlity1 Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) I know this isn't Bills related, but Cowherd reports that Rappaport is saying Gruden and Mayock sent the scouts home til after the raft. Does't trust them?!?! Crazy!! Edited April 19, 2019 by Dopey
dave mcbride Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 Either that or they've done all they're gonna do and anything more at this point is overkill and a waste of time. 3
HOUSE Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 I am sure all the reports are in, probably nothing Yawn 1
Chuck Wagon Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 Didn't we fire the whole scouting staff right after the Whaley - McDermott draft? They are McKenzie's guys and it seems clear Mayock and Gruden don't trust them. 1 1

Expand Yea, but I found the quote by Rappaport that they don't trust the scouts to be strange. I don't tweet, so I don't have a tweet or link to put up. Saw it on Cowherd a few minutes ago

Saw it on Cowherd a few minutes ago Expand There's speculation about the Raiders being very active on moving around the board and potentially trading up to 1 or 2. If they don't trust any of the guys hired by the previous guy, there's no reason to have them in the building if they are working the phones all week. 1

YoloinOhio Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 Ah, here it is whose “belief” is he referring to? Because this is exactly the time scouts are normally sent home. And maybe that is part of it, but i wouldn’t say it is just a Raiders thing.

Expand Don’t need scouts if they are trading all their picks for Kyler ?

Those people are professionals who want to do their jobs well and potentially advance or if they get fired be looked at as valuable in what they do by other teams so they would get re-hired. Do they really think they would not do their jobs properly or try to sabotage them and in the process commit what amounts to professional suicide?? They seem paranoid if this is what they really think. Edited April 19, 2019 by matter2003

Expand Remember the Bills employee who showed the pic of the Bills QBs board last year and it got tweeted out? How about Leroi who blasted out info on this here site a few years ago and was right? I could see them wanting to keep the final info to a very very small circle. But, overwhelmingly, the reason they are sent home is because they are done with their work for the draft and no need for them to be there. 1

Expand OK...well that makes more sense...they are afraid of leaks not that they haven't actually done the scouting work properly.

thenorthremembers Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 Maybe they plan to trade up for Murray and don't want anyone to know.

Expand Spent a lot of cash flying in QB cast offs from the NFL, CFL, and PP&K. No money left for scouts and Mark Davis’ barber, so scouts go home.

papazoid Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 all those scouts will be unemployed shortly... new regime = new staff I applaud gruden for doing it.....you're dang right they can't be trusted
