Kevin Colbert's GM power rank according to an nfl.com writer
What's more important to winning a championship, the GM or the head coach? Indeed a hard call. The top teams tend to have GM's who draft well, know which players to re-sign at the right price, and know which players to let go. They spend wisely in free agency and don't get caught with an excessive amount of dead money.
Although I think Colbert has had his share of busts / disappointments early in the draft and his share of head-scratching free agency moves, almost off of which I was against, I must say overall he's had a good career.
Colbert is possibly worthy of a hall of fame nomination given his years of service ( 18 ), championships won ( 2 ), Hall of fame players drafted ( I'll guess 3, possibly 4 ) and Pro Bowl players drafted ( *19 by count ). Those are some impressive numbers. Recently he has become more vocal.
The below article ranks him as a GM vs the other 31 men.
