Who is the best general manager in the NFL? It’s a simple question, but the answer is much more complicated. There is no standard by which GMs are graded. There is, however, a curve. It’s a “what have you done for me lately” league. Those GMs who are currently presiding over winning teams (i.e. Jason Licht, Brett Veach) tend to get a pass on past mistakes (like drafting a kicker in the second-round who flamed out immediately).
Great write up, but in regards to Brandon Beane; he was hired after the 2017 draft. He didn’t draft Tre White or Zay Jones.
How is Tom telesco not top 10?
I would say the 2015 NFL Draft is an even more impressive signature achievement from Rick Spielman:
Rd. 2: Erik Kendricks
Rd. 3: Danielle Hunter (after trading down twice)
Rd. 5: Stefon Diggs
UDFA: Anthony Harris
