I think the two of you are 3 weeks to late to pull that off.

Fox may have had a little say, but he wasn't the GM.
Quite frankly, I think the Floyd pick is more from Fangio than Fox.

On leaning on head coach John Fox after coaching the likes of Von Miller and Julius Peppers.
"[Coach Fox] has been pounding the table to add these types of guys for a while now. So we would talk a lot during the season saying that ‘hey we need to get off the field on third down and we need guys to help us in that area'. This is the type of player that can help that, so again add a major pass rush threat to our defense."

Was he not the coach when Tebow got picked in the first round?

McDaniels was the master mind behind that gem of a pick.

Didn't Mcdaniels call Tebow himself I feel like I saw that on the NFL Network when they talked about top 10 shocking draft moves.

Dang, sounds like Fox is really a draft guru with Elway and Pace being very overrated Yes-men...

Apparently Fox has been a GM since he came into the league.

I am going to go out on a limb and say Fox had quite a bit of input. Since Fox and the coaching staff does go to the combine and individual schools for scouting, it would be foolish to assume Fox had no input on particular targets for the Bears. As I said not compartmentalized.

We can debate Fox as a coach and his game day philosophies, but dude knows how to identify and develop talent. That shouldn't be in question.
It's easier for me to buy this pick because I'm a huge fan of Floyd, but Fox and Fangio gave this the green light.

Doesn't matter because from the sounds of it, the GMs were just there to get Fox his coffee and wipe the sweat off his brows while he was busy drafting.

Marty Hurney, he was later fired in 2012 for letting the Panthers go 1-5.
No, but if you think Fox had no say in the picks look at the future picks. Here is the drafting after he left.
2009: Trade Down Round 2 Everette Brown DE
28 years old and no longer playing in the league
2010: Trade Down Round 2 Jimmy Clausen QB
JIMMY CLAUSEN!!!!
2011: Cam Newton QB
Hard to screw up the first pick of the NFL Draft but after all that past great drafting you end up with the Number one pick in the NFL draft?!
2012: Luke Kuechly LB
Great Pick! but the GM was fired mid season after the Panthers went 1-5 in 2012.
He leaves the Panthers draft Jimmy Clausen and a DE that is only 28 but no longer plays in the NFL.

Wait, it is Fox and not Pace? We are screwed if something happens to Fox.
