What do you think of this guy? He was the director of college scouting at new england previously (i think) so he apparently has some good talent evaluation skills. do we have anything to be worried about?

Not for at least 2 years, falclowns are in a world of hurt.

Belicheck(sp?) and Pioli (sp?) make all of the final decisions in NE. This guy was just riding their coat-tails. If he was in charge of their college scouting, I'm not all that impressed... Take a look at the Patriots last handful of drafts. Only 1 player from this past year's draft is still on their team... Then you have Chad Jackson... ect. Sure they got Seymour and some other quality guys, but overall I'm not worried about this guy.

hopefully that translates into more disarray with the Falcons leadership.

looking at their past drafts, there is a lot of talent that they have drafted over the past 7 years.
