Pats leaving GM position unfilled?

[QuantumMechanic]

Patriots seemingly have no plans to fill vacant GM job this year in wake of Bill Belichick's departure

New England, however, has revamped its personnel group now captained by Eliot Wolf

Right but that was before Highsmith. I think the title will eventually go to Wolf or Highsmith if it’s given to anyone.

The Pats haven’t had a GM since before Bill and for most of the Krafts’ ownership as I understand it. Many teams don’t have a GM but instead have someone in an executive role who is GM equivalent (“VP of Player Personnel”, etc). I would expect the Pats to continue that trend.

Having someone with final say is crucial, obviously.

Wolf should get the gig and the supporting staff can help him out. We need someone who’ll hit more often than miss and get some talent on the roster via FA, trades, the draft.

They are running things differently now than previously. I think they will assign a title and it will be The Wolf…or Highsmith.

Accountability is important. Players and agents want to know who is running the show.

Why would we want to hire a GM when we’ve got the highest draft pick assignment since we took Drew Bledsoe? Don’t you feel as comfortable as I do just thinking of Draft night when Robert walks into the room and asks, “So what are we doing Jonathan”?

Wolf is the de facto GM. Jon is not picking players. Bob is not picking players.

Jeez, some people here...

Who needs someone with control. You guys aren't paying attention. Stop Collaborate and listen.

Topic heading stated Pats leaving GM position unfilled perhaps it should have said - “Pats having “de facto” GM make the most important draft choice in years”. Then if it works out he should have the job, if it doesn’t, better luck with next year’s #3 pick.
