With that logic we should have passed on McVay.

Not saying your wrong but old sayings are old for a reason.

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Drafts are really difficult to assess after 75%of one season.

You said it yourself, Drafts are really difficult to assess after 13 games.
Smith has 1 draft as the head of college scouting. He has a popular name but how can you assess anything he's done?

McVay had 3 seasons as OC.
His last season as OC and Play caller, they ranked 3rd in the NFL in yards per game.

That's in line with what a prodigy is.

Brilliant and new.

What's been extraordinary about this prodigy so far?

Out of his first 4 picks, 3 of them have more injuries than games started(Guice, Christian, Apke).

I like Payne and Guice picks but this isn't extraordinary.

The honest answer is nobody knows.

The bottom line is nobody in this forum, or even the media for that matter, know how good or bad he is; or how much or little involvement he had in the draft because Bruce has kept the whole FO workings intentionally vague.

All we know for certain is that people who would have the best opportunity to know think he is special.

It is also a big jump to assume he was solely responsible for those picks.

It is also a bit early to assume Guice and Christian are bad picks.

I also read there was a huge internal disagreement on Apke.

But if you want to assign those picks and those injuries to Smith as a stawman to knock over be my guest because my interest in him as a GM is as equally uninformed.
