Ozzie was actually the one who drafted Lamar. 2018 was his last draft and then DeCosta took over in 2019. But either way, it is very hard to say he's a bad GM. But when compared to Ozzie and his success, it makes sense.
Also, considering the Draft for Roquan Smith in 2022 was a steal for the ravens. Also also, trading Hollywood brown to get a first round pick to get Tyler Linderbaum.
Reggie McKenzie drafted both Amari Cooper and Khalil Mack and it was obviously Gruden's idea to get rid of both of them, before getting rid of McKenzie to bring in sock puppet Mike Mayock who should be considered the worst Raiders GM along with Gruden. Drafting notorious busts like Alex Leatherwood in the first round, along with the Antonio Brown debacle shouldn't make this too hard.
@@riskyingo McKenzie made mistakes early on as a rookie GM (Dennis Allen) but he rebounded later. The overall experience of a rookie GM and HC back then made Mark Davis course correct with Telesco now.
Agreed, McKenzies 2014 draft was really good and he got Cooper in 2015 and an underrated LT in Kolton Miller in 2018. Mayock on the other hand only had one good draft and even in that draft he wasted the 4th overall pick on Ferrell which was a bad pick even then.
To be fair to Reggie McKenzie, I think trading Khalil Mack was more of a “Mark Davis sank all his money into Jon Gruden, and someone had to pay in blood for it” thing, especially since they were already waist-deep in shit financially, with the impending move to Vegas
Yeah most of the stuff he listed was either "Mark made him do that" or "Gruden wanted to do that". Reggie was slowly digging us out of the hole Al put us in. Dude got scapegoated
@@jcueto75the one who got rid of Mack was Carr. They invested so much in Carr that he could have easily taken a pay cut in order to keep him. Also, Carr himself admitted he liked Mack.
@@guttermouth70 That's just not how it works. Carr went from a 2nd-round rookie deal to a big money qb deal. He had no responsibility to take a cut in pay to keep another player. If the Raiders couldn't figure out a way to have two highly paid players without cap issues, that's on the organization entirely. Blaming Carr for not offering to be paid less is bonkers. Kraft and Brady using TB12 to pay him a ton of money outside of the cap, while saying he was taking pay cuts, has really led to a lot of these takes. Every fan base has these takes, because they're under the impression that Brady was just willing to take less money, because the money was off the team books. That practice has since been disallowed. Pro athletes are going to get paid as much as their agents can get them.
@@nathaniellevesque2782 thanks for clarifying because I know that Mayock was gone when Gruden was let go too and I could not remember if Mayock was there for Gruden’s whole tenure.
I thought the Reggie McKenzie stuff was unfair in that Gruden was a mandate from Mark Davis, and both the Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper trades were made because Gruden immediately had too much power within the organization.
Reggie was a Raiders linebacker in the tail end of the 80s when the Super Bowls were over, but the Raiders were still a good team with great players (Howie Long, Greg Townsend, Mike Haynes, Marcus Allen, Steve Wisnewski I think), and learned how to build a team from the late 2000s Green Bay Packers. I think had Mark Davis let him do his job and not force Gruden on him his record would be better. We'll never know...
thats pretty amazing the Ravens have only had 2 GMs in total the whole time.

@@chrisortiz9343 When the team moved from Cleveland to Baltimore the NFL reached an agreement with the city of Cleveland that the Browns franchise rights will remain there and the Ravens are considered a separate franchise. That’s why Jim Brown is part of Cleveland’s ROH and not the Ravens ROH
I was gonna say Bobby Grier for the Patriots. Hiring him directly led to Bill Parcells leaving, and he oversaw more busts than a clueless blackjack player. His only saving grace is he did a lot of scouting work on Tom Brady and convinced the team to draft him.
Hearing Saints GM Bill Kuharich (KOO-HAR-ICK) reminded me of his brother Lary the Lip in Canada. Lary once coached in Calgary and led their team to a rare home playoff game in 1989. Calgary lost to a .500 Saskatchewan Roughriders team (who was making their second playoff appearance after their Grey Cup appearance in 1976) and immediately after the game, Lary pushed a cheerleader and went on an expletive laden tirade on a post-game radio show. Their father Joe was a head coach for Philadelphia who was featured in an NFL Films presentation where coaches were mic'd up.
Drafted Pat surtain, nik bonitto, Quinn meinerz, Jonathan cooper, signed Zach Allen, Brandon jones. Yes, the Russ and Hackett experiment failed but he’s found great pieces for the future
6:39 - _"Now Jerry is like a Trevor Bauer fastball... peaking in the mid 90's"_ _...HOLY SHIT BRO,_ that line was _ABSOLUTELY FUCKING HILARIOUS!!!_ I literally couldn't stop🛑 laughing😆😂🤣 after I heard that shit hahaha
Reggie McKenzie era resulted in one of the best seasons for the Raiders in the last 20 years. (2016). Worst GM in Raiders history was without a doubt Al Davis’s last & final ten years. Two words describe that era: Jamarcus Russell 😩
I do feel like Mark Davis was the one who wanted Gruden and once Gruden arrived he was running the show and it was only a matter of time before Reggie was out as GM
Dan Rooney did draft Mean Joe and Terry Bradshaw, and he had to rebuild a team which his father Art entrusted to a coach who regularly traded draft picks for veterans who turned out to be bums. I suspect that he and his brother Art, who was given the draft reins by his father, would have done pretty well. They definitely knew how to pick players once they were permitted to.
Didnt spend near enough time on the lions, not only did we have Millen but we also had Russ Thomas and Bob Quinn, dooming us to football medocracy for almost 50 years.
The Brock Osweiler trade was a good move for the Browns. They paid $16 million for a 2nd round pick when they had a ton of cap space to use up. And had a fresh body to use at QB to use or not use for a QB needy team.
Honestly the Haden move wasn't that bad either; there were too many uncertainties for how much he wanted, and he was good-not-great with the Steelers. I mean, sure, the Browns didn't replace him with anyone close to his talent, but ot wasn't a flat out L.
With the Raiders, In a much longer time stretch, Al Davis’ last couple decades were absolutely embarrassing - QBs with upside but bright red flags (Jamarcus Russell and also Todd Marinovich), and picking up Larry Brown and Desmond Howard over overblown Super Bowl flashes, and running a revolving door of head coaches.
I think Fitterer is also a candidate for worst Panthers owner. Let's see here, traded CMC and DJ Moore, selected a QB without much to help him while watching CJ Stroud shine in Houston, making Bryce look like a bust, also neglecting the contracts of those like Burns. Probably missing more stuff but he was essentially a minion for Tepper.
On Ken Herock, Favre was out of a control drunk who was too hungover to show up for the team picture, Glanville hated him, and Herock made the best of a bad situation, getting a first round pick for an unproven Favre who was drafted as a second round pick.
Scot McCloughan definitely had a drinking issue, but he wasn't that bad of a GM for the 49ers. He drafted Alex Smith, Frank Gore, Vernon Davis, Patrick Willis, Joe Staley, Michael Crabtree and several other contributors to the team. He also signed guys like Justin Smith and Ahmad Brooks. He built a really talented roster that just didn't break through until after he was gone. A GM some 49ers fans may find to be worse would be Terry Donahue. Despite being hand-picked by Bill Walsh, Donahue basically oversaw the 49ers downfall from former dynasty to the basement. It wasn't all his fault, as he did walk into a bad cap situation, but he drafted bust after bust and wasn't able to replace all the talent they lost in free agency. He also hired Dennis Erickson, a legendary college coach who just didn't seem to have the right chops for the NFL.
Gettelman was a disaster. Period. The man didn’t know what he was doing. Every logical move was not made. He was absolutely illogical and he set the Giants back years by trading OBJ and attempting to undo the damage with guys who weren’t nearly as talented
Pittsburgh Steelers should be Buddy Parker, the guy hated rookies so much he would try and trade all of his picks for veterans, and the picks he couldn’t trade, he ended up trading or cutting the player he drafted. I mean in 1959 he traded away picks 1-7 ffs, and did moves like this his entire tenure
If you want someone to sum up the Bengals of the 2000s here ya go. They had more players with reality shows (3) than playoff wins (0). Though to be fair, Dhani Jones had a show that was about traveling and education, which is always a plus.
You mentioned Bill Polian for the Bills in getting Jim Kelly, he was drafted in 1983 before he took over. Granted, the job Terry Bledsoe did was bad, but the fact he drafted Bruce Smith, Andre Reed and Frank Reich all in the same draft in 1985, he did start building the foundation for the team that would go on to appear 4 consecutive Super Bowls. You're not wrong that he was bad, but you should've mentioned the good he did do at least despite the two 2-14 seasons.
Calling Bart Starr the worst Packers GM is not a great take because you miss the fact that he had virtually NO draft picks his first 2-3 years, thanks to Devine trading them away for washed-up John Hadl. I'd rather give the title to Tom Braatz, the schmuck who picked Tony Mandarich.
As a Vikings Fan, I have a couple thoughts...1) Fran Foley should have been the pick as he lied to ownership about his qualifications and was canned after just THREE MONTHS after being hired. 2) While Rob B. wasn't a great gm, he is one of, if not, the best capologist in the entire league that has kept Minnesota's salary cap compliant with his magic for many years. I would give him a lifetime contract if the league allowed it.
You could also argue for Rick Spielman to be the pick, as he had three Head Coaches who each teased potential with brief playoff appearances... only for all three to wash out. And it turned out Rick would often ignore his coaches' advice, reach for players that wound up failing, and put the team in cap hell by hanging on to declining vets.
@@mitchtellers2547 I think it does merit some level of respect to keep a GM job for over a decade when most gms can barely last 5 now. When Foley had to lie on his resume to get the job and then canned after just 3 months. Not only is it terrible professionalism but also extremely embarrassing.
As a Browns fan I disagree. Ray Farmer is the worst GM for the Browns. Brown was there for a rebuild. He got us all the picks that John Dorsey turned into the current Browns. Also he did pick Myles Garrett.... Enough said. Ray Farmer could not draft a quality player to say his life. Drafting all first round BUSTS!! Just my opinion!!!
Colts : Ryan Grigson aka the man who RUINED Andrew Luck 😢 still haunts me how he retired so unexpectedly. Colts would still be contenders to this day had he stayed ….
Chip Kelly was WAY worse than Tom Modrak. In just one offseason, with players that perfectly matched his scheme, he did this: Traded Shady McCoy for Kiko Alonso, who was hurt all the time. Signed DeMarco Murray and used him as an agile back like McCoy, instead of the north-south runner that he is. Signed Byron Maxwell for way too much and put him up against the opposing team's number one wideout, instead of using him as a slot corner where he found success in Seattle. Swapped Nick Foles for Sam Bradford. Let Jeremy Maclin and Trent Cole walk in free agency. And to top it all off, he almost traded a ridiculous hall to the Titans to try and get Mariota. Thank goodness the Titans wouldn't move.
Imagine having the worst trade of all time on your counter. Imagine not signing good people to play a sport. Imagine being worse than the guy that traded you for belly button lint.
Honestly, Bruce Allen was the worst GM for the Bucs too. He oversaw the destruction of a dynastic franchise back into their old ‘80’s form of malaise and mediocrity. Screw that guy.
Before getting to the Saints, I think he is either gonna select the GM that was an astronaunt OR is going to be Ditka's GM. Edit: It was Bill Kuarich. TBF, he was bad. While he did bring in Sammy Knight, Willie Roaf and La-Roi Glover and Joe Johnson... He did trade for Heath Shuler, Ricky Williams trade, sign Andre Royal, let Quinn Early Walk, and much more. But John Meacom hiring Richard F. Gordon as GM was also egregious.
Scot McCloughan was actually the best recent GM for the 49ers because under him he contributed to drafting HOFers like Frank Gore Vernon Davis, Patrick Willis, etc. McCloughan's sins were alcohol abuse and poor workplace relationships with every franchise he worked with (49ers, Seahawks, Redskins). It should have been Terry Donahue (RIP) who was personally handpicked by the late legend Bill Walsh himself, as GM. Terry Donahue never drafted anyone that was any good and ran HC Steve Mariucci out of town.
Reggie McKenzie wasn’t even that bad of a GM. Yeah all those guys got traded while he was GM but don’t forget he drafted them and most of those moves were forced onto him when Gruden took over
'Each team's worst GM'
Lions fan: You don't have to remind us

As a Vikings Fan, I have a couple thoughts...1) Fran Foley should have been the pick as he lied to ownership about his qualifications and was canned after just THREE MONTHS after being hired. 2) While Rob B. wasn't a great gm, he is one of, if not, the best capologist in the entire league that has kept Minnesota's salary cap compliant with his magic for many years. I would give him a lifetime contract if the league allowed it.
You could also argue for Rick Spielman to be the pick, as he had three Head Coaches who each teased potential with brief playoff appearances... only for all three to wash out. And it turned out Rick would often ignore his coaches' advice, reach for players that wound up failing, and put the team in cap hell by hanging on to declining vets.
Agree on both accounts. Rob B is must irreplaceable individual in Vikings front office. Not a better person who manages fiscal cap.
@@mitchtellers2547 I think it does merit some level of respect to keep a GM job for over a decade when most gms can barely last 5 now. When Foley had to lie on his resume to get the job and then canned after just 3 months. Not only is it terrible professionalism but also extremely embarrassing.
As a Browns fan I disagree. Ray Farmer is the worst GM for the Browns. Brown was there for a rebuild. He got us all the picks that John Dorsey turned into the current Browns. Also he did pick Myles Garrett.... Enough said. Ray Farmer could not draft a quality player to say his life. Drafting all first round BUSTS!! Just my opinion!!!
Ozzie Newsome drafted Lamar in his last season as GM. DeCosta still has a huge role in the selection.
Colts : Ryan Grigson aka the man who RUINED Andrew Luck 😢 still haunts me how he retired so unexpectedly. Colts would still be contenders to this day had he stayed ….
Vikings, you're really going to let the man who made the worst trade in NFL history off the hook? Mike Lynn... really
As cardinals fan its a tie between Bidwill and Keim
For the bears, Phil Emery was definitely worse. He set the franchise back several years and is responsible for firing Lovie/hiring Trestman
Herock got a 1st round Pick for a 3rd string QB who didn’t play a down a year after he was a 2nd round pick.
Do NHL version of this I'll help you get started for the Toronto Maple leafs
Harold Ballard
Tree already did a LOF video for the Leafs including a lengthy look at Ballard's insanity..
Wonder how many people got the "Ooomfufu" reference? lol "Eddie Murphy Raw".
Bill Ku-HAIR-ick for Kuharich. Eagles had a HC named Joe Kuharich in the 1960s (not sure if related?)
Chip Kelly was WAY worse than Tom Modrak. In just one offseason, with players that perfectly matched his scheme, he did this:
Traded Shady McCoy for Kiko Alonso, who was hurt all the time.
Signed DeMarco Murray and used him as an agile back like McCoy, instead of the north-south runner that he is.
Signed Byron Maxwell for way too much and put him up against the opposing team's number one wideout, instead of using him as a slot corner where he found success in Seattle.
Swapped Nick Foles for Sam Bradford.
Let Jeremy Maclin and Trent Cole walk in free agency.
And to top it all off, he almost traded a ridiculous hall to the Titans to try and get Mariota. Thank goodness the Titans wouldn't move.
I am still pissed about the shady deal.
I mean EDC is following a GM that drafted two first ballot HOF players with their first picks.
I think Bruce Allen could have two spots. A lot of people forgot that Bruce Allen was the GM for the bucs from 2004-2008
The Unfufu joke made me subscribe.
Welcome aboard!
I loved Mike Martz as a Ram though 😂
Imagine having the worst trade of all time on your counter.
Imagine not signing good people to play a sport.
Imagine being worse than the guy that traded you for belly button lint.
Honestly, Bruce Allen was the worst GM for the Bucs too. He oversaw the destruction of a dynastic franchise back into their old ‘80’s form of malaise and mediocrity. Screw that guy.
Ooo man IRELAND and RANDY NEUTOR for the fins is still talked about
Before getting to the Saints, I think he is either gonna select the GM that was an astronaunt OR is going to be Ditka's GM.
Edit: It was Bill Kuarich. TBF, he was bad. While he did bring in Sammy Knight, Willie Roaf and La-Roi Glover and Joe Johnson... He did trade for Heath Shuler, Ricky Williams trade, sign Andre Royal, let Quinn Early Walk, and much more. But John Meacom hiring Richard F. Gordon as GM was also egregious.
Scot McCloughan was actually the best recent GM for the 49ers because under him he contributed to drafting HOFers like Frank Gore Vernon Davis, Patrick Willis, etc. McCloughan's sins were alcohol abuse and poor workplace relationships with every franchise he worked with (49ers, Seahawks, Redskins). It should have been Terry Donahue (RIP) who was personally handpicked by the late legend Bill Walsh himself, as GM. Terry Donahue never drafted anyone that was any good and ran HC Steve Mariucci out of town.
To think that Kadarius Toney has 2 Super Bowl rings now.
😢
Jerry Jones is a Trevor Bauer fast ball. Pure gold!
Reggie McKenzie wasn’t even that bad of a GM. Yeah all those guys got traded while he was GM but don’t forget he drafted them and most of those moves were forced onto him when Gruden took over
Uhh Steve Keim?!?
