Consistently rated one of the better GM's by peers and national pundits Spielman may have put together his best off-season since being named GM in 2012.
Spielman has had an outstanding offseason loading this
team with players and also depth. The coaching and results of the personnel
decisions Spelly has made puts Spielman in the position of GM of the year. |

GM's primary job:
1 - Free agents to resign and free agents to bring-in,
2 - Draft
3 - Extensions,
trades in and out of the draft.
4 - Hiring HC |

His
Free Agent signings of Reiff and Remmers, along with plucking Hill from the
Jags PS, have solidified the Tackle positions that were a disaster less then
a year ago. Then you add the 3rd round pick of Elflein and he has constructed
a one year fix (not done) to one of the worst OL we have ever had decimated
by injury. That doesn't even include the trade for Easton our starting Guard for Hodges a few years ago or the acquisition of swing-man Sirles. |

Move
up Drafting of Cook, who was leading the NFL in yards, in the second round
and also getting Elflein as a day one starter. Also getting some snaps from
other draftee's so looks to be a very good draft but one year is not the full
tape on the draft. |
|
|
|
|
Not
extending Bradford and choosing Case over Heinike as a veteran backup QB has
been a great decision and find. |
|
|
|
|
Lastly,
he has extended and locked in the foundation of a Top 3 defense for years to
come - Harry, Rhodes, Linval and Griffen all locked and loaded long-term. |
|
|
|
|
Plus,
even though it was 5 years ago, you can see the improved coaching of Zimmer
and the depth of the roster and Spelly should get credit for hiring his first
HC. |
