Anyone not completely incompetent could make the Berry and Houston picks. There is NO special skill or talent on his part with those picks.
None.
At.
All.
That his buddy Dimitrioff in Atalanta gave him a glorified pencil-pushing gig after being such a COLOSSAL **** up in KC means absolutely nothing.
And that you would revise history and use this absolute ****ing clown to prop up Clark Hunt, just goes to show how mind-bendingly far you've fallen down the rabbit hole to complete ****ing insanity.

It's a combination of things with some guys. I believe Pioli is one of those Peter Principle guys who does OK if he stays in his lane, but was given way too much power here. Letting him hire the coaches and have final say on the roster and coaching staff were not wise. Sticking him in a room and telling him to watch film on guys that the coaches actually want and will fit their scheme would have been wiser. He should never be the face of a franchise. That's why I think Hunt made sure the second time around to make sure the football coach reported directly to him and had had final say on his staff. The whole Pioli hiring coordinators for Haley thing was a joke.
But Pioli is likely only good at evaluating certain positions as well. You listed some of his failures, but his biggest one no doubt was having no clue what to do at the QB position. I think he saw Tom Brady and felt that if you take any hard working QB, he could turn him into an all pro. Instead we got the Cassel's and Stanzi's of the world. Certainly having Matty Ice being coached by Shanarat Jr makes the Falcons a much better situation to be in, and that kudos goes to Dimitrioff. But Pioli is probably in his lane over there helping to fill out the roster as a subordinate...
