Good grief. He hasn't been hired to design the first hyperspace craft.

He has never managed people, never disciplined or fired someone, never built a workplace culture. He has to do a lot more than drafting guys.
Matt Millen failed because he was learning a lot of these small things right away and made simple mistakes experienced GMs wouldn't make. Hell, time and time and time again ultra-experienced personnel guys like Pioli, Savage, Farmer, and Kokinos fail and fail hard. It's not an easy job. I'm sure he'll do fine drafting players. But how will he negotiate a trade deal, how will he discipline players and coaches, how will he respond to a PR crisis. It would be different if you're pairing him with Andy Reid or Bellichick. But he's paired with a head coach who's too raw to have all the answers himself.
