Transcript

00:00Wolf, as you can imagine, not the most popular person for Patriots fans

00:04after the draft and free agency and everything else.

00:06How do you view that working relationship?

00:09And once again, like last year, we have that question of

00:12one person does have to have final say

00:15if everybody in the room is arguing over the number four pick.

00:18How do you see all of this working out?

00:22Start at the end.

00:24My understanding and belief is that Mike Vrabel will have final say.

00:30Elliot Wolf is in a support role.

00:32Even though the title says that he will be over Ryan Cowden,

00:36I don't know exactly the landscape there,

00:40how that will flesh out.

00:43But from everything I've been told and from everything that has been indicated so far,

00:47Elliot wants to be in a support role.

00:50He doesn't want to run herd on the personnel department.

00:56I'm not saying he's going to recede into the background.

01:00Entirely, but I think that his job safety and his short and long-term future

01:07are attached to his ability to say,

01:10hey, I want to help Mike.

01:12I don't want to argue with Mike.

01:14I want to find out what Mike wants and get that for him.

01:18So that's why I think Elliot Wolf is not going to be somebody who is,

01:22you know, unless all the indications that were being given,

01:25I haven't been told this,

01:26but I don't think Elliot Wolf is here till April and then gone after the draft.
