The other problem is the Rams' skeletal pro personnel department. It consists of the semi-retired Jack Faulkner, who evaluates game video from his home office in Los Angeles, and an inexperienced scout, John Macini. With this combination, how can the Rams truly expect to keep up on the available talent around the NFL?
Zygmunt instead relies on evaluations provided by Mike Giddings, an independent scout who provides analysis for many NFL teams. Where's the wisdom of tapping information from a scout who also supplies the same insights for other teams? The Rams need to stay in house and upgrade their pro personnel department.

The first time I heard of this personnel evaluation process, frankly, I was alarmed. Now that Bernie has fleshed this out some more, I am no less alarmed. Out-sourcing talent scouting? I now have a better appreciation for some of the questionable FA moves or lack of moves over the last few years.
