I have been told in no uncertain terms that Zac  is in control of the players we draft. Or maybe Robin. But Mike does not control draft picks anymore.

Pretty sure the only reason Mike was only interested in Carman was that he had already been informed by Taylor or Tobin.

You guys actually think Mike Brown scouted all the college O-line prospects; fell in love with Carman; called in PA to rubber stamp he decision; and then told Tobin to take him??

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

To no one's surprise you made up something that was never said and then argued that it was wrong and you were right. The closest anyone has come to asserting anything even close to what you are arguing is PA "heavily influenced" the decision. 

No one said PA "determined, rubber stamped, was the reason" the pick. No one said Mike scouted anyone. What folks are saying is that PA's input was part of the decision-making process and most agree it was. If whomever is making the final call is doing so in a vacuum I'd be quite surprised.
