On a recent podcast, The Athletic’s Nate Tice and Robert Mays discussed their top 10 general managers who they’d use to build an NFL roster. Mays explained why this is different from just a top-10 power ranking.
“This is not a power ranking of the jobs that these guys have done recently or in their careers,” Mays explained. “This is, if you were starting a team from scratch right now—every player in the league is a free agent, we’re starting from square one—who would you want to oversee your team.”
With that caveat in place, Tice actually chose Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes as No.
