Interesting read on where he has some players being drafted on his board.

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.Bulldog likes this. -
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 .

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... -

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