Licht is Frank Thomas. It's a strike out or a home run... not a ton of singles
Frank Thomas was career .301 hitter with more walks (1667) and singles (1440) than strikeouts (1397) in his career. I see you don't know much about baseball either.
The Mayor of Cluelessville reigns supreme.
Jfc... baseball. OK he's Sammy Sosa, captain literal. I don't care about baseball stats since everyone juiced.
See DH, here's the thing... it's an opinion.
Well, at least you got something right, kiddo.
Notice how you didn't address, yet again, what I actually said.
You're turning into Biggs with your dipshit cherry picking.
We didn't take Donald because we had already drafted (poorly) a ton of d-line players.

Frank Thomas wasn't juiced, Mr. Mayor.
You don't have to keep stepping in shit. It's OK for you to STFU every once in a while.

So, in other words, we should’ve taken Donald because he was the superior player prospect then (and now).
Again, Evans wasn’t the layup you suggested. Nor was Winfield or Wirfs.
Your usual effeminate whining aside, you’ve got legitimate (and vastly shared) criticisms of Licht. You and i have agreed on a great number of them over the years.
These ones, though, aren’t it.
But, if that’s the hill you want to die on, then so be it.
Done with this exchange.
Read it simple:
I don't care if you agree. I have an opinion. You have an opinion. Everyone here has an opinion.
It's a message board.
I don't state my opinion as fact... I'm happy to change my stance if the argument makes sense but I don't change my opinion to fit in or think like the group.
You don't think they were easy picks. I'm not taking that away from you. You don't think there is evidence to support what I've said, and I do...
And besides... Donald and Evans are both future HOFers and super bowl champs. If anything it's 1a and 1b

Cool, don't care.

General Manager Power Rankings: NFL draft edition!
Drafting is hard. Ranking teams based on how they draft is easy. Instead of evaluating general managers this year based on the totality of their job, I thought it'd be fun to only focus on how they used their draft capital. It's a self-selecting group, because the names that would be at the bottom of this list ultimately lost their jobs. For the purposes of this column, I only went back to 2015 and I did not include the nine GMs who have run one draft or less.
All decisions are mine, indisputable and should not be held against other NFL Network reporters. Especially@RapSheet.

3) Jason Licht, Buccaneers
- Best pick: Tristan Wirfs | Round 1 (No. 13), 2020
- Worst pick: Vernon Hargreaves III | Round 1 (No. 11), 2016
Licht's tenure in Tampa makes the case for being patient. He survived Lovie Smith, Dirk Koetter, Jameis Winston and three double-digit-loss seasons to come out the other side a champion with the help of Tom Brady and Bruce Arians. Despite the flashy free-agent signings in recent years, Licht built the Bucs' foundation through the draft, with Ali Marpet, Vita Vea, Chris Godwin, Devin White, Carlton Davis, Donovan Smith and Sean Murphy-Bunting all playing massive roles in the team's title. These were good players before Brady arrived, and the stellar 2020 draft class (headlined by Tristan Wirfs and Antoine Winfield Jr.) helped put the team over the top.
Last 8 years? Licht at 3?
That's pretty wild... I could see him top 10 but top 3?
It's just hard to diagnose some of these players that played lights out during our playoff run (SMB, White, and Smith) but sucked most of the rest of their time here

If you go to the overall performance link in the article (this article with him at 3 is just drafting not GM overall) he has Licht way down at the bottom and basically say he feels burned for talking him up so much and him having a poor record.
THE POINT: every GM is a little bit of good and bad and very much impacted by the circumstances. He gets Arians here in part because they are friends from a prior job (also because there is a decent roster).
Is being a friend to Arians a GM skill?
Well yes, it is. Its just not thought of like drafting.
He played a huge role in the Super Bowl. He's also had some bad drafts
