This is a big loss. Not only did the Raiders hire him away from us but they made him assistant GM not the actual GM so Bears can't get draft picks because of it (if Kelly was named the GM, Bears would've gotten 2 3rd round picks). It sucks.
Was he actually a positive influence though? From his wiki
His main responsibilities are grading the top 100 draft prospects, leading the team's efforts in free agency, and advance scouting
Their draft picks in top 2 rounds were awful and nothing much from FA either. You can't just GM bad, underling good on choices unless there's clear cases of things he did good.
Isn't that guy hired from the Eagles/was a raven scout taking that kinda role anyway?
