We may never know... but I think it’s very likely that Zac has much more say in the draft than anyone else in the organization. Marvin (and assistant head coach Paul Alexander) may have had more say than we realize as well.
The way that I believe the relationship works is that Duke and his team go out and scout with the purpose of identifying traits that the coach is looking for. I'd like to believe that Duke was directed by Zac on what he was looking for this year (production at top programs, team captains, position versatility, strong academics, intelligence beyond football, good character) and that is why the picks seems so far different in this draft. Marvin had his character traits and values he wanted, and Duke's staff would find guys that fit that. Not saying Marvin wasn't looking for the right things either, Marvin had plenty of great drafts, but I'm sure his approach is different than Zacs
However, I'm just as blind to the process as anyone else on here. So who knows.
