Twitter thread about Poles from Johnathan Wood. I think he highlights one of my big concerns with Poles in that it's getting pointed out how good some of the drafts in KC were - but they weren't when he was necessarily in a decision making position. No doubt he had key input, but how much of the draft results was him vs the people above him using his and other information? When he was in more of a decision making position for their drafting, their drafts were not as good and he was moved to the player personnel side.
I have no doubt the guy is great in interviews and it sounds like he has prepared very well for them. I guess I am still just a bit gun shy due to the Nagy/Pace deal where they were really good in the interview especially for their age and experience level, not so good in the actual job later...

Can we get a thread for people to complain about the threads that people start?

Didnt check the thread but this was my issue with Pace from the start. When he got more say, they got worse.

can we count on George to do a deeper dive, IMO you ask some really great questions here.....when Pace was here it appeared he made final decision on who they drafted, it's entirely possible Pace was sold on Trubisky but the scouting staff weren't all in agreement. Poles has worked in the Chiefs org....so what...who have they drafted that he specifically vouched for or fought for, does he have the scouting "eye". I guess what I'm specifically concerned with is I read Ron Wolf talking about someone and he said certain guys have a knack for knowing if a draft prospect looks like they can play or not, does Poles have this? Has anyone vouched for it....the twitter thread about him gives me a tight sphincter and I'm afraid he might be a mistake. Organizing spread sheets in the front office BFD...we have interns at work who could do that, can he look at a group of players and select the right ones who will blossom on your team...it's black and white to me, yes guys are going to miss occasionally but the Bears have missed on 1st rounders quite a bit over the years.

Good way to get over the pain of firing Ryan Pace by hiring another guy named Ryan P.

21 members of Chiefs front office get their pictures and bios prominent displayed on the top of their website under "Front Office Staff". Ryan Poles is not one of them. What's up with that?

I mean, maybe if we hire Ryan Poles, maybe he's the right guy to FTP...

I'm worried Poles might pull out of the running
