Rick Herrin is on GAC right now.
Says that Jerry used to be on the field with Bill, with his program out and everything. This year the whole crew was more up in the stands together. They are interviewing all the prospects back at the team hotel.
He confirms that Tom Ciskowski really did most of the college work the last couple of years, and that Ireland did more the pro personnel stuff and gathered the information on college guys from Tom. Says Jeff always used to say, "Well Tom says this and Tom says that..." about the college prospects.
So according to him, it wasn't just spin when Jerry was saying that after Ireland left.
Says the WRs weren't that impressive other than Jordy Nelson, who was catching passes on most guys. (Mentioned Manningham being available at our pick... Thinks Kelly will already be gone.)
Said Henne was by far the most impressive QB, and that Brennan really struggled to keep up. Supposedly one of the coaches even kidded Brennan, "Can we get a deep ball, Colt?"
Keeps saying that a lot of the best players in this draft will be juniors.
Only gave a facetious answer about how much Wade was involved, unfortunately.
Said we had more people there than any other team. People from other teams were talking about how all our coaches were there along with the scouts, and how everyone had their eyes on the players all the time.
Apparently, one reason for having everyone there was so they could have overall personnel meetings about the team -- not just the draftees -- at the team hotel.
Probably will get its own thread, but Estridge claims that we hired Todd Grantham as D-line coach today Apparently Wade told them that he wanted to get the D-line coach taken care of first. And that Wade was pretty disappoined he couldn't get Emmitt Thomas as DB coach.
