This hire never made any sense at all. He was never a scout, a player personnel director, never a GM before. What business does he have evaluating and picking players? He was a disaster on Solomon Thomas the #3 overall pick. To make it worse we passed on Mahomes. We have not added any pass rush in free agency although we had the chance to do it. He misses on some very early picks and gets busts. I'm very concerned about him as GM. He was inexperienced for this job.
He was a player and a broadcaster. But he had no business being a GM. The ownership made a terrible pick here IMO. He makes even less sense to me than Kyle Shannahan at head coach. I think you could actually make an argument for KS. But I don't see how you can for John Lynch. He doesn't belong in this position and the results show. We should hire a competent GM with experience and a proven track record. You know somebody that is actually qualified for the job and belongs in the job.
yet he's almost completely fixed the O-Line, despite your belief in him. His lack of experience isn't a huge deal when he surrounds himself with guys like Peters and Mayhew.
Mcglinchey looks like a nice pick so far and I think he will work out. He looks real good up to this point. But one guy doesn't fix our O Line. The Center we got in FA helps too. Our O Line has improved. We have other areas where we have failed like edge pass rusher and QB who is made of glass and we passed on Mahomes and have no backup. We are probably headed for 1 - 15. So I don't think you can claim this is a very good overall roster.
It's not a very good roster. A complete roster overhaul isn't fast. Most people in the NFL would disagree with you that CJ is not backup worthy.
