But I guess with 3 1st rounders this year, a talent evaluator with a more intricate knowledge of this years' prospects is someone they're looking to.
JD is there to help with the business/negotiating aspect though, Kekalainen will handle all the player side of things.

Hard to bring in a guy like Burke who will want full control with Davidson already there.
