OK that actually makes me feel a lot better. I was concerned it was Casserly imposing "his guys" on the process.
Don't know much about this guy but what I do like is the direction we are taking. Being the director of collage scouting for the HOUSTON TEXANS = football guy! To be a director of any type of football scouting in Texas is a massive landscape to cover.. Jets are clearly looking for a football guy that can succeed through the draft. This is a great sign for us Jet fans!
Here he is in action breaking down 2013 draft, the 6th round pick he gushes on actually was diagnosed last June with lymphoma... http://www.houstontexans.com/news/a...13-draft/16e0560b-38af-4470-bfff-c32515415954
good post. the interview gives some insight into how Maccagnan approaches player evaluations.. i wanted one of the more experienced prospects, but warming up to this idea. lots of scouting background, and seems like a football guy. liked his emphasis on character and intangibles..
