Most of that comes from the article above.  It is worth the read.

We elevated him from spreadsheets to running a draft, the jump was too much and the results have born that out.

It probably explains why FA was better for him, you can run that as a numbers game.  The draft is about truly understanding football.  It doesn't seem like KAM does.

What I wish we could find out is who was on what side of the QB decision this summer.  KAM feels like he's being thrown under the bus (as the PD guys said) when this was a failed group decision.

Amazing how terrible things can be behind the scenes and none of us know anything about it.

We (everybody) knew KAMs drafts were not producing starters.

Not all front office people have to be front forward, out going and up to date on what every other employee is doing. But the GM does. 
 

It’s too bad, because KAM and his dedication to analytics sounds like a good person to have in your system. Just not THE person. Other teams should be fighting over him. If you’re just one cog in the machine, nobody is going to care if spend your day secluded working with your numbers.

Interesting, clearly does something really well

Very smart of the 49ers to keep Kwesi away from anything draft related

Beating a dead horse here a bit, but I think this is just amazing.  In the worst way possible:

Whenever we hire the new GM, their first priority needs to be overhauling the scouting department. I haven't heard or read much about changing that department since Spielman's time.

I believe they mostly added onto the department, and there were some departures. The last time I saw someone do an article about it, it was something like half Spielman era and half KAM hires. They need to start from scratch.
