2016 NFL Draft Decision-Makers for Each Team Revealed by ESPN NFL Nation

Everyone knows the NFL draft is a collaborative process. Scouts, player personnel executives, general managers and even team owners have a say in the war room.

But who makes the final call for all 32 NFL teams? ESPN's NFL Nation reporters offered insight into just that Sunday. The reporters described the war rooms of their respective teams, giving fans a look into what they'd see if they were a fly on the wall at the end of April.

Here's a list of every team's final decision-maker(s):

Tampa Bay Buccaneers	GM Jason Licht
Arizona Cardinals	GM Steve Keim	Head Coach Bruce Arians
Los Angeles Rams	Head Coach Jeff Fisher	GM Les Snead
San Francisco 49ers	GM Trent Baalke
Seattle Seahawks	Head Coach Pete Carroll	GM John Schneider

For the most part, this is a list of wholly expected names. General managers comprise an overwhelming majority of the final say. Of course, this is largely the definition of what a GM is supposed to do; it's pretty reasonable to expect them to take the reins.

The more interesting teams are ones that veer away from the expected path. Only four head coaches appear to have the final say. One of them is New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, who remains the truest possible outlier in all aspects. Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has proven himself more than capable while working closely with general manager John Schneider.

The other two names, Los Angeles Rams coach Jeff Fisher and Miami Dolphins coach Adam Gase, are a little more concerning. Fisher has spent more than two decades on an NFL sideline and has gone over .500 six times. With the Rams recently mortgaging their next two drafts to move up to No. 1 in 2016, it might make more sense that it was a "head coach" decision. Gase, meanwhile, has no experience as an NFL head coach. 

Ownership takeovers are happening right where most would expect. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay are widely known as being among the most actively involved owners in football, and Cincinnati Bengals President Mike Brown was described as a "draft junkie" by ESPN.com's Coley Harvey. All three men have had varying levels of involvement over the years, most likely in accordance with their trust level of the front office. 

Overall, though, this is more of an interesting look at a front office hierarchy than anything. Every front office is a collaborative effort. There's no one person smart enough or powerful enough to pull it off all on his own. So for all of the big names compiled in that list, most of the day-to-day grind is being handled by hundreds of names you've never heard before and may never hear.
