Haven't heard his name? Neither had I. The architect of multiple championship rosters in San Fran and Seattle. The savant scout with personal demons...

All the recent talk about personnel issues and whiffed draft picks. Should we bring in a guy like Scott who's proven he can get it done?

I think most of you will like this read.


Scot McCloughan is NFL's best talent scout, self-employed and living on a farm

He has two Super Bowl rings locked in a safe. Each of the three teams for which he has worked in his 20 years in the NFL -- the Packers, two stints with the Seahawks, and the 49ers -- has reached the Super Bowl during his tenure or shortly afterward. McCloughan had a part in drafting six players who were on the Pro Bowl roster last season, including Patrick Willis and Vernon Davis. His report on Russell Wilson for the Seahawks a few years ago read: "Obviously we are really interested in passers with better height, but this guy may just be the exception to the rule. He has the 'it' factor."
