How close to right will the board be on which players will go?
Thinking close on the team, maybe not on free agents and the draft. We have a good idea about the players who should take note of this new (unpredictable) day and be nervous. This staff won't have any attachment to them (and their "locker room leadership").
It's free agency that will test the board. Will that be anything new? What kind of players will these coaches try to bring? Their "Locker room guys" not big time free agents. Marvin got his when he was hired. As time went on, we knew to look for the vet lb and reclamation project at one of our weakest spots during free agency. Our day one signing wouldn't even have a job in the league if it wasn't for us. All to free up the first round for our CB, WR, or OT (we've been better in recent years drafting a C and G, but you still get the sense MB/Marvin, values certain positions at certain spots). Will that philosophy change? Do the new coaches value DE's or DT's early? How much do they risk on talent with bad character?
That's where I think the board will be a little off. As we learn ZT and co's (I guess we can call them co until we have proof they exist) tendencies.
We've got a long way to go to get it right. Give it 10 years or so.
