SM and Larry Michael interview

[Caliskinsfan]

SM is just a joy to listen to

He's got 12-15 guys he's focused in on
He willing to give a bit on talent for consistency and 'team' football players
He wants to trade down but not if it doesn't make sense
Character means something to him. He's looking for the 'it' factor
He's dialed into talent in the lower rounds and undrafted players

Hard not to be impressed.

Do you still have that selfie his son took in the Redskins warroom?

Do you still have that selfie his son took in the Redskins warroom?

Yep

And it does look like about 12- 15 labels on the top 2 levels.

Wanna know how to make a quick buck?

 

[Caliskinsfan]

A lot in the 3rd and fourth. Can't really see the 5th and 6th too much. Lots below that.

Better overview of the interview than mine...


Excerpt

• McCloughan has identified 12-15 players in this draft that can come in Year 1 and produce
• He doesn't want to trade back too far and miss out on that group of players
• He plans to bring in at least 10-15 UDFAs after the draft, and expects many to have draftable(6th/7th) grades
• Intangibles can outweigh height/weight/speed for the right players
• Character is important, but one dumb mistake doesn't take you off the board, it's patterns of poor decisions
• He puts a lot of pressure on the incumbent area scouts

Add:

• Players from colleges whose mascots have beaks don't get preferences
• Culture and yes men don't trump talent
