Maybe TC is backing off and ceding complete control to DC?

Knowing TC as we do, is that even possible?

It's hard to know how it's playing out, but I still suspect DC is doing what he's always done to prepare for the draft, and as they near completion of their big board and plan picks and contingencies, TC gets more and more involved in the fine tuning process.   

And of course he has to sign off on every pick and transaction.

He surely does. I'm having a hard time seeing him sign off on an unknown linebacker over, say, another DE...knowing how much he loves the DEs. Looking back at the picks, the DEs that followed QW were Maxx Crosby and Anthony Nelson at 8 and 9 picks later and Austin Bryant a little after that.

Maybe they suck, I don't know, but they also passed on the guys I mentioned above plus Cajuste, Finley, Justice Hill, Samia, etc. That's a lot of guys that the casual fan (i.e. me) knows and may have preferred given our lack of true knowledge. For him to go with QW and have TC sign off I think was bold (pretty much proves that they draft guys they've scouted instead of listening to us lol).
