C'mon fellas, a GM isn't going to happen no matter how many solid logical points we have. It's Mike's family's team and he won't let day to day operations be run by anyone not in his immediate family, and everyone here knows it. At this point I'd settle for 10 full time scouts concentrating primarily on O and D linemen. Even with scouts and wise drafting though, having Mike making final personnel decisions still puts us at a disadvantage against the elite front offices like new england. We're fucked guys, abandon hope before you get too emotionally invested.
