It's a great question, but it's an illustration of why the rebuilding process starts with a GM who not only knows how to select the best talent, but also has a plan for how the build the roster in a way that fits an overall scheme.  And then he has to select a coach who is on the same page.  You don't just pick the best players; you pick players that fit the blueprint that is laid out by the coach and GM.  

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here.  

But it all starts with the GM.  We can banter around all we want about who we want to draft, who we want to be our defensive coordinator, which players we want to keep.  But it has to start with an overall plan, and that starts with the GM, who then selects the HC, who then selects the assistant coaches, and the GM and the HC draw up a blueprint for that kind of team they want and how to build it.

And that's why selecting the GM is the most critical decision this team has to make this offseason.
