Coach picking the actual players is bad.  That is how you get needs based drafts.

If Urban is acting as GM, this will go poorly.

How upset are people going to be when we draft Fields and he busts and the Jets get T Law and he's a stud? Stories already breaking that TLaw isn't the sure thing pick at 1 we all expect. Also, this article https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1000...pectations makes it sound like Urban is also in charge of selection of players, almost like a behind the scenes GM. Yikes.

"We need to be a coach-centric team and organization." There will be a GM but he will be carrying out Meyer's vision. Says Khan... Buckle up kids, might be a bumpy ride!

Edit: To clarify, I still think this can work, but there is no denying hitching your wagon and all of your decisions into a college HC with no NFL experience with a puppet GM just reeks of disaster. I hope it works, I want it to... But damn, seems like a seriosuly huge gamble to run like this. I will be livid if we don't select Lawrence.
