Loomis and the scouts probably have a lot of say when it comes to compiling the teams draft board, but their still getting input about the type of players they're looking for from the coaching staff. This isn't to say they don't share in the responsibility, but how is it that we've hit a lot more on our offensive picks? I think it has more to do with a competent offensive staff who knows exactly the type of players they need. Hell, Spags only had one year, but it looks like two of his picks, Hicks and White, have a real future with the team.
