What happens with Kyle Smith?

Too me good talent evaluators are like pass rushers, you can’t have too many.

I just would hate to see the guy go. Yes, too young and too inexperienced for GM, but too talented with a bright future too go.

I agree. But I'm readying myself now in case Kyle feels passed over.

Also Chief X, JP Finlay's article specifically mentions it:

I don't think he puts that last line in there if he doesn't have intel saying Kyle Smith is getting ready to move on.

I haven't seen anything that says they plan on letting him go, or that another team is looking for his services. Anybody got that report?

there sure are a lot of assumptions being made . . .

Ron and Kyle have had a full 12 months working together, if Ron isn't promoting Kyle it is because he can't do the job Ron needs him to do at GM or that they don't have the same philosophy.

As an aside, coaching staffs have a big impact on players picked, several under the previous regime were credited to Jay Gruden, as well as the other scouting staff. It is not just Kyle

This SI article doesn’t sound very promising for Kyle Smith.

Hope this don't blow up in Ron's face. Imagine Kyle getting a front office job with the 49ers or Rams. I could see mediocrity with this front office. Ron, and the good ol boys from Carolina.

Chris Russell...mmmk

My guess is the Rams and 49ers front offices are doing just fine with their current structure. Haven't heard of them looking to hire anyone.

I thought that the People that make all the decisions on players actually read this forum and make decisions based on our knowledge....😳😀

Keep Kyle Smith HERE by jacking up his salary, give him an upgraded title, plus increasing influence in the draft/FA/UDFA decisions. He’s only 38, and I wonder if Rivera is grooming him for the big job in a couple years?

Didn't RR do just that before the draft last year?

I think some on here are more worried about KS' role than KS is.

Edit: Jan 2020 promoted from director of college scouting to VP of Player Personnel

Give the guy time in grade please.

People forget that Kyle Smith has not been interviewed for ANY of the GM openings. So obviously he is not in high demand.
