John Dorsey continues to make major changes to the personnel staff of the Cleveland Browns. The GM has dumped five more from the team’s scouting department.

Most notable is Director of Player Personnel Chishom Opara, who has been with the Browns since the 2005 NFL season. Opara was promoted in 2016 after being an area scout for several years, and he worked closely with chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta, who remains on the job.

Bobby Vega was also promoted in 2016 from area scout. The removal of the area scouts means the Browns carry over less than a quarter of the pre-Dorsey staff in the scouting department.

The moves came on the same day it was announced personnel consultant Scot McCloughan would no longer be working directly for the Browns as well.

It is not uncommon for NFL teams to part ways with scouting directors and scouts following a draft. It is also fairly customary for a new GM to bring in his own people and replace holdovers who do not share his vision or background. Even so, this is a big house cleaning for being one month out from the 2018 NFL Draft.
