This episode of Purple Insider is presented by Fandul.

Rachel, I'd prefer someone with some sort of background in scouting and personnel, which Rob isn't.

Yeah, I mean, I get that, but I would also say the guy who is the number one GM in the NFL hands down

wasn't a scout. It's whether you have the people around you to present the right information

and go in the right direction with the scouting. Because just the GM, now the GM is going to, if you're talking about these players to draft,

100 players to draft, like the GM's going to watch those guys and he's going to be involved

in all that.

But a lot of it is people bringing you the information as a GM, even when you're a scout.

There are GMs who are on the record, having said, I don't really watch a ton of tape.

I think Eric DeCosta said he comes into the office on Saturdays because his Monday through

Friday is there's just not enough time to watch tape.

So he goes into the office on Saturday to watch some tape on the side.

Like that's how he's doing it.

So I think it just tells you how much is going on.

I wish there was like any of the 30 for 30 stuff or NFL films that really kind of show that day to day.

There just have to be a lot of conversations that the public can't hear about different

players and things like that. But the day to day is managing an entire building, just like if

you worked at Target or something, where you're the GM of that target, but you have all sorts of

different managers that you're communicating with and fires you're putting out and problems you're solving.

It's not sitting at a computer and just typing in, I draft this guy because I like his tape.

So there's a lot to it.

Pro does a pro does Ray beats?
