So here are my takes with scouting.

We have ONE guy that does analytics, but apparently he is doing a good job.  According to ESPN every other team has a handful, not sure of the impact one way or the other?

We have 6 FT time scouts now, by far the fewest in the league, and our divisional rivals best us 3-1 numbers-wise.
Which would not be an issue for me if the following hadnt occurred:

3 1st round busts in 4 years (2015-2018) - a killer for a small market team.

Only ONE solid Oline starter drafted in the last 10 years.  - Inexcusable for any team.



I am really frustrated that a man who has shown he is incompetent when it comes to identifying talent and other facets still demands to have final approval over draft picks and to choose draft picks at 86 years of age.  (I understand he is the owner and always believed he is a great GM)

Carmen was not a good pick with others still on the board like Cosmi, Creed and others - would really like to know if the rumor that Pollack wasnt thrilled is true.  MB and Paul Alexander's great idea.  I do have faith he will productive eventually.  


I dont want moan and gripe during SB week, I simply want us to be on a level playing field with the 2nd worst team resources-wise. 

Tied for last with scouts, build the worst practice facility, and retire MB from any and all decision making, these would make me happy.

I certainly get it, but there is one analytics guy, and a few other staffers that don't have that as their title from what I've heard and read. It's still mom and pop, but if you hire the right people that are multi taskers, you can make it work. Like I said, Zac was afforded the largest staff ever hired by the Bengals. 

A lot of the reason for those busts, you already mentioned, Piano Paul the ketchup specialist. One of the many reasons I bashed MB over the years....but one of my biggest.
