All of the statements we've been hearing about GM candidates have been hearsay and speculation.

Neither Ernie Accorsi nor Jerry Richardson has made any official statement.

I put more stock in some than others , but at this point its all still rumor.

this is one reason I was stirring the pot so much in the Beane thread, nobody has said anything officially and that much uproar over a beat writers pure speculations was hysterical. I couldn't help myself in that thread.

Working on the profiles. Want to put them all up at once.

FYI: The new name mentioned by Adam Schefter is Joey Clinkscales, Director of Player Personnel for the Raiders.

I heard Joey Clinkscales can really scout talent. As soon as the season is over we have to be on the move with this GM search. I can see a couple interviews take place next week.

When was the last time Jerry Richardson made an official statement?

About once a century.

Reporters have been calling Accorsi for comment. He isn't giving any.

Where are the leaks coming from? Don't know, but I'd be cautious about getting too excited while it's all just hearsay.

Still, it's all we've got at the moment.

Based on reports (such as they are) here are the names I take most seriously right now:

Marc Ross

Dave Gettleman

Tom Gamble

Steve Keim

Joey Clinkscales

Others I put less stock in:

George Kokinis

Scot McCloughan

Based on the Accorsi cronyism from last time, Heckert might be on there too. Unless he just goes ahead and ends up with Reid from the jump.

But, definitely, anything right now is from agents to willing press. Nothing more.

Hell, we've got a week and change before all this becomes real anyway. I'm sure they have a list. They're just not going to let people know about it.

Multiple reliable sources confirmed Ross was the leading guy. There are others inside the organazation that can talk with the likes of Schefter and such. We are by far the best destination for a GM landing spot. Franchise QB? Check. Franchise MLB? Check. 2 double digit sack artist bookends in CJ and Hardy? Check. Seriously out of the Jets, Chargers, Chiefs, Jags and Browns. We are by far the most attractive destination. All those teams aside from the Chargers are a long ways away from being contenders and none other than the Chargers have stability at the QB position and you can also argue a 30 year old Rivers thats on the decline is a big question mark as well.

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
