The problem was the unbelievably shitty decisions ***** made in dictating horrible schemes. And then using ego to drive his draft strategy. Just because ***** made dumb picks, doesn't mean that he was fed bad information.

We don't know what ***** did in NE, but his time in KC strongly suggests that he did very, very little of consequence.
Given *****'s propensity to focus on all of the wrong things, it makes sense that he'd have his scouts talking to equipment managers rather than looking at tape and evaluating if the player can actually...wait for it...play at a high level. All the while disregarding some of the most obvious and damning evidence that can be presented (evidence A: Brokaki).
***** was a ****ing fool, and there is nothing but weak speculation to try to claim that his scouting network was any less foolish. There is, however, plenty of empirical evidence to prove that everything ***** tried to do was a mistake, so I'll continue to put my faith in what we definitively know.
