Erm, Will McClay is pretty much the GM tbfh.
Yes, but the free agent philosophy strictly belong to Jed and Jed Jr. McClay just has to work within its constraints. When it comes to the draft, I believe that's pretty much McClay's baby as long as he can keep Jerry from getting in the way, which seems to be the case now.

I'd say McClay is a top 10 GM prevented from being higher on the list because he's handcuffed to Jones.

If you take Jerrys last 5 years as a GM then yes

GM puts talent on the field and fields competitive teams and Jerry has done that actually outside of 2000-2002 jerry has always had talent on the field and been in the mix for playoffs outside of some injury riddled years

now the issue is hes been GM for over 30 years and hasnt had postseason success since the 95 season

now if you judge him off that alltogether thats when it gets dicey

I doubt they are going back to the 90’s or the past 20 years. I’m sure these ratings are current, meaning very recent years. Otherwise, Philly surely isn’t there. Jerry has done a top 10 job as gm the last few years. Early on, he was a great owner and poor gm, learning on the job. Lately, he’s been a very good gm, but a lousy owner because he can’t keep his mouth shut and stay in the background.

Defining, judging or grading GM's needs to be defined by what you consider successful.

There is a big difference between on the field and off the field success. Then there is the time factor. Last 3 years? 5 years? 10 years? More?

I see Veach is #2. That is laughable to me. He got lucky and Reid fell into his lap. He did trade up for Mahomes. Quick - someone name his 3rd best move.....

The Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise in the world. Their GM should get big kudos for that. But on the field success???

Belichick has a bunch of Lombardi's, yet he isn't in the top 10?
