This is too funny.
Want to know what really happened?
Seems that Ciskowski's scouts were scouting for Ryan's defense and did not adjust to the new scheme. So Ciskowski is yelling to stick with your board and Marinelli hated Floyd.
As much of a perfectionist as Garrett is he looked mad because of the scouts screw up.
It sort of makes sense. All year Ryan was the DC and the scouts were probably looking for players that fit his defense. Then after the season all of a sudden Kiffen and Marinelli come in and the scouts could have been stuck in a 3-4 mindset since that is what we have been running the last 10 years. They may have looking at Floyd and think there is our new NT but Marinelli looks at the guy and thinks he doesn't really fit what he wants at the position so doesn't see him as a first round candidate.
In such a scenario, I'd have to go with the coach who has the chops that Marinelli has demonstrated in developing DLs. The man obviously knows a good DL for his system when he sees one as he has routinely found big-time producers outside of top 10 picks which certainly hasn't been the norm for most of the rest of the league.
If Marinelli thinks he doesn't need any DL this year I think we'd have to bow to his wishes as the man is a master of his craft. I happen to think he is incorrect at the very least due to age issues but maybe he just didn't like any of the DL available this year for whatever reason and thinks next year they can acquire someone better in the draft or FA.
Marinelli will definitely be under the microscope this year with his calling out a need for secondary and especially LBs but thinking the DL was fine as is.
