He’s done a really sturdy job given the cap he’ll we’ve been in. The Mahomes contract alone was maybe the most brilliant contract I’ve ever seen.
That said, we’re paying for the 2018 draft right now. Our depth along the D is poor, and the big money contracts given out on D are starting to sour: Hitchens’ was never good, and now Frank’s is an albatross. He’ll be able to finally manage those this offseason.
But goddamn, he has maybe his toughest offseason ahead of him. He’s probably going to have to let Badger and Ward walk, and completely rebuild our secondary. He’s going to have to completely retool the DE. He’s going to have to find that tertiary threat at WR, extend Hill and Brown.
With almost no cap space, that’s a tall order. I don’t know if he has it in him. But he’s shown that while his roster management is merely adequate, when he hyper-focuses on a specific weakness of the roster, he obliterates it.
