I said it when he was here, when he left and when he went to Cleveland.
He's a good scout, but makes for a shitty General Manager. He can identify some talent, but can't manage things well at all.
Had no idea how to put in a long term plan, no concept of what a strong team exactly entailed of or what particular players were actually worth.
He mostly excelled at just plugging in whatever the top of the board looked like: when the Chiefs had first crack at all the cuts in 2013 and siphoned a bunch of the NFC West cuts. Again in Cleveland where he had a pool of picks and picked early every round.
He can't actually manage a vision or paint the big picture of what a long term winner should consist of. He's just putting names in places without much thought how it'll all come together.
