Perhaps Mike Brown isn't so Semi-Retired?

Mike Brown is a trained lawyer. If he was the one making the pick he'd have asked a more open question of Alexander, such as "which O-linemen have impressed you?" Instead he asked straight away about an individual, telling us that he was verifying a decision instead of making one. This tells us that it was someone else's choice.


Almost, except it would more likely have been Duke Tobin rather than Zac and Frank. For a start, Duke is the one with the long-standing relationship with Mike Brown. He's also the one the scouts report into. He's the one who works the trade to move down. Zac doesn't have a free hand with personnel moves. We saw that with Carlos Dunlap who he'd have moved on earlier. Duke may listen to Zac but it is Duke's draft.

Sorry but I don't give this organization the benefit of the doubt, it has been one of the worst run organizations in the history of sports since Mike Brown took over.
