Bears fan here. I’ll trade my GM for yours.
I think it’s important for those in the Minnesota fan base to hear things like this because you realize maybe the personnel from our teams aren’t the worst ever at what they do. I’m not saying Spielman or Kwesi are great but every team has its issues. The 49ers are falling apart, with many key players leaving in free agency because they’re getting too expensive. Wouldn’t be as big of a deal if they had the three 1st-round picks on their roster they traded away to draft Trey Lance, who isn’t even on the roster anymore.
This year’s draft-wise, to get back on the thread topic, I’m hoping they don’t get cute and just draft the best offensive lineman or defensive player on the board at 24. And I hope things turn around with their drafting and for a change we get some key contributors out of this and next year’s draft. I think Kwesi’s free agent moves have been almost top-of-the-league good, but that means this team is going to be a little older and get very expensive in a few years. The solid players they got, like Greenard and Van Ginkel, by letting big contracts like Cousins and Hunter go, are great but the next contracts up for guys like this are going to be a ton, and we’re going to need guys from the 2025 and 2026 to be starting-caliber to replace them.
