You have the capologist who handles the cap, HR issues are probably handled by him, Ron and management. What else is there for him to do? If/when he leaves, we'll be back to average picks. Ron must be blind.

Wait. Smith picked those 26 players by himself? Surely you don't believe that, right?

He obviously has a scouting team and if/when he leaves will be taking some with him, depleting our scouting team. Rivera brought in Eric Stokes in July 2020 as Director of Pro Personnel, he wasn't involved in any of Smith's drafts and now he is being interviewed for the GM position. Kyle Smith is the VP of player personnel and if I'm not mistaken is a higher position than Director of Pro personnel, as of now he's not being interviewed. Why? Rivera likes to work with people he trusts, how about building trust with the guy in your building? If Smith doesn't get an interview consider him gone and to me that's a slap in the face of a guy who's had great success here. If Smith leaves only time will tell on how successful the drafts will be with the new GM.
