If true and Scouts want Ramsey and Coaches want Elliott than which would you prefer ?

I'm leaning Elliott but want be sad with Ramsey just concerned over lack of Turnovers from him
and I think Elliott makes the bigger team impact !!! my opinion only.

I know they have changed things up since this instance. But the last time coaches/scouts differed on a player was Floyd. We took Fred and that has worked out well.

So in this case, I take Zeke.

Who liked who? Scouts liked Floyd and coaches like Fred?

Coaches (rod) didn't like Floyd in his scheme. It didn't come down to Floyd vs Fred. But there was a disconnect in the rating of players. Floyd was #5 on board.

The Scouts considered S.Floyd a top 5 or 10 pick at DT.

Rod and Crew saw him as a 1 tech and NOT a 3 tech DT and therefore said he was not worth that pick in the first round.

There was a disconnect between the scouts and the coaches and that was why things were changed up and McClay took over.

Instead of taking Floyd, they traded down and took Fred Beard and Twill.

That was a different circumstance altogether that they immediately addressed after that draft.
As you may recall, the d-line scouts, for some crazy reason, had not discussed fully with Dallas' new DC on what he was looking for.
The full communication part should no longer be an issue

this should be easy...if the coaches don't feel Ramsey is a corner and prefer Elliott, than it should be a no brainer.

With Lamar Miller this would have been a very easy pick. I still would have go to Ramsey. Look I like Elliott, I just find it hard to justify drafting a RB given the resources currently allocated to that position.

Do you guys really think this 'leak' of who likes what 2 weeks before the draft is actually valid?

I don't think it's any secret who we like.

I'm sure the coaches wanted to keep Murray and the front office didn't..

I wouldn't be surprised if the Coaches wanted Elliot and the scouts are saying he isn't worth a top 5 pick over Ramsey.

To me, so long as the profile/prototype for players/positions has been agreed upon between the scouts and the coaching staff, I would defer to the scouts. After all, they are the ones who are watching these prospects in a detailed manner all season. The coaches get a much more scaled down view of them.

Have you seen the resources currently allocated to DB?

Sure based on what?

The front office wanted to keep Murray he just wanted more money. FO was right.

And as for this draft we've been connected with each and every prospect. Apparently we like everyone the best. That is what counterintelligence does to confuse the opponent.
