So really what does he do? He doesn't work CAP, he has no say in his department's ability to grow, modernize, or be held accountable. I'd argue the draft comes down to coaches and MB for the most part. As does FA as the coaches seem to be influential in that area as well.

A glorified scout is what it looks like he is, and not even a good one given we haven't drafted a probowl player since what 2012?

He may not have ability to expand the scouting department necessarily because it would require additional payroll that he may not have authority to determine, but he should have the ability to replace the current scouts with new ones (I would think anyway).

I don't know if he would necessarily lack ambition, but he may just put a lot of belief into what he and the scouts have done to bring in quality players.
