KOC didn't adapt to the cluster of backups last year, but that's not a big deal. It was fair to note that changing the offseason midseason would do more harm than good. It's also not KOC's job to turn QBs who aren't in the top 40 into viable starters.
Whomever gets picked, it is KOC's job to put them in the best position to succeed. Ideally that's because the player fits well with what KOC prefers to do, but it's on the coach to ensure he's putting his roster in the best position to succeed. Belichick was a terrible GM, and of course had Brady, but he was outstanding at never being beholden to a particular system/approach, on offence or defence. Hopefully KOC does so this year.
Really, the first three selections will probably be QBs, Cardinals could take Harrison Jr at #4, Harbaugh was quoted yesterday as saying the Chargers pick was the 1st pick, the Giants owner said he wasn’t opposed to taking a QB at #6. That leaves a run of other positional players until the 11th pick, except S.Payton said he thought the Broncos could move up for a QB (LOL).
The Cardinals and Chargers could ask for multiple 1st round picks in a bidding war, hard pass.
