    I think this will prove one way or another how much Ireland is like Parcells.

    We'll have this show to measure our draft against. If it plays out the same then Ireland is as useless as Parcells and needs to go, if not, I expect apologies from a lot of people.

    Both of these old timers have lost a lot of credibility but they are entitled to their opinion .Hopefully Ireland has evolved from that old school .

    Parcells did this show last year.

    He had a 1st round grade on Pouncey, a 2nd round grade on Thomas and a lower 3rd on Gates.

    He also had Mallett (2nd round grade) ahead of Ponder and Locker and a 3rd round grade on Dalton.

    As you stated, they are entitled to their opinions, but based on the lack of talent both these former executives had on their teams when they left their last jobs, I would take any draft board these two put up as the rantings of two old men who really lost it in their later years.

    Baffling how Parcells can have a receiving TE rated as a 1st rounder!

    The thing with Polian and Parcells, is that they don't do the scouting NOW themselves or don't have a staff that is looking for what they want to see in the scouting reports. Sure, they will do a lot of the final grading themselves, watching tapes, etc...but the grind it out stuff that a current GM has to do is different from what they do now as analysts...

    That said, they've both been successful at being in that role so their opinions are valuable and there is likely a connection between what Parcells sees in a candidate and what Ireland sees, but that doesn't make Ireland's decisions wrong...

    Don't let CK read this thread Parcells has Weeden as the 6th best QB in this draft. He won't be to happy with the old fart.

    I wonder what the board was saying to Parcells when he selected Pat White and Patrick Turner? I think the board lied to him!

    The board went into rehab after that draft for a cocaine addiction.
