Jimmy Raye didn't get a lot of love from JD because the Chargers great drafts slowed down after another Charger personnel guy (sorry, forgot the name) left the organization. Whispers out of San Diego say that the other guy had the golden touch, not Raye.
Licht left the Cardinals & jumped shipped to the Patriots because Arizona was slow in giving him a contract. The only real knock that JD has heard is that Licht wasn't in the room during Drafting because Bellichik only trusts a couple of guys around him. JD didn't like that he reportedly hasn't had to make any final decisions, which IMO, is no big deal.
JD is high on Ross because he's in Coughlin's close circle & supposedly he's a work-a-holic. I missed some of JD's opinion on Ross & Emery.
Only part that I was able to catch about Emery was that he's crossed paths with Russert.
Sorry, but my cell kept ringing during some of the discussion.
Thanks, Biggie.
The more I read, the more I get the vibe that Ross could be the guy.
Is it possible that the Bears are aiming to make multiple personnel hires?
Maybe hire Ross as the GM & bring Licht in as his #2 or some other combination.
