I think this is bigger then people even realize. Reggie is the main scout. He is the guy who studies hours and hours of film, interviews potential NFL players, their families, makes road trips to colleges throughout the country. He is a key component in the whole scheme of things.
I feel you might see a dip in productive draft picks come the 3rd-6th round, where Ted Thompson likes to make his money.
Yes Ted Thompson has the final say in it all, but without Reggie, who is to say we would have guys like Jordy, CM3, Tramon (although he is terrible this year, granted not having Nick back there doesn't help) and countless other players throughout the years.
