3 Round Mock draft

[Roy P]

Well, If I were the GM and the coach kept T. P. on the bench while a lesser talent got all the playing time, I might start looking for a new coach.

I've talked about this before, but I am not sure how the relationship between Smith is vs. how it should be. I understand the two needing to work together to develop an identity and a philosophy. However, I buy into the Head Coach working for the GM model. Maybe it's my prior military service, but that's just the way I see it. My observations of Smith is that he takes a lot of input from Kubiak. I would imagine if Kubiak fails to make progress this season, then both would have to be shown the door. Smith would not be able to say, I wanted Kubiak to play better player than player X but he just wouldn't listen, so I passed on drafting/signing player Y.
