Joe Person: Fitterer will wait to ask Frank Reich who the pick will be 1/2 weeks before draft day

Shortly after that year's draft, Lynch told Albert Breer about how he and Shanahan had made an agreement between them to not make a final choice up to a certain time.

When the day came, Shanahan went up to Lynch and said something along the lines of "So are you ready to draft Trey?" Lynch's response was "Are you f--king with me?" because he'd come to the same conclusion.

Let's just say I believe Albert Breer both has better contacts and is far less full of bullsh-t than you so yeah, I believe him

Cool if you actually believe that

It's called reading. You should try it

Teams are pretty much always very loose with information after the draft. And hell, why shouldn't they be? It's done. Smokescreens and all the other bullsh-t don't matter after the picks have been made.

I think this bit is a little misleading. They’re trying to avoid group think and letting each guy do his own thought process before they share their thoughts. I think it’s smart.

I agree.  It sounds as if Reich is making the choice, but he is actually saying, "I am making the choice, but I will not know his preference until 10 days (roughly) before the draft.  I would add that I am sure they will report that they were on the same page.

I agree, this is a very good approach.

I’m sure Reich will listen to input from the rest of the team. He hired people he respects for a reason. If he’s close between Stroud and Young, someone else might be able to add something he didn’t think of, and that might sway his opinion. At least that is how a good leader should do it, and I think he is one.

More than one source has said that Jim Caldwell is going to have a big voice in these decisions.

I’ve seen that as well, and it makes me feel really good about this.

If thats true then you have to factor in him going to the SB with pocket passer manning and going to the playoffs with pocket passer Stafford.  As a coordinator he worked with Flaco and won the SB.

 

I think its fair to say he has a type.

The two players reported to be our top choices both fit that type.

Young is most certainly not in the mold of the pocket passers of Stroud, Manning, Stafford or Flacco.

A passer isn't defined by his mobility... or the lack of it.

The ability to read, process, make the right decision and throw an accurate pass are what define them.

Pocket mobility is a good thing. Being a threat to run is also nice but not necessary.

It’s CJ or it’s the wrong choice. No need to explain, that’s just the reality.

In your mind maybe they’re both quality prospects
