Former NFL general manager Steve Keim and former head coach Marvin Lewis answer questions from the Inside Football mailbag.

They explain why a GM’s job extends far beyond the draft and free agency, how the relationship between an owner and general manager shapes an organization and why fans rarely have all the information behind a draft decision.

The conversation also covers which position is most difficult to get right in the first round, why teams benefit from extending their own players before the market rises and whether George Pickens has done enough to earn a long-term deal.

Keim and Lewis also discuss the San Francisco 49ers’ recurring injury problems, whether reduced practice time has hurt player development, why an elite pass rush can be more valuable than an elite secondary and what it would take to create greater competitive balance in college football.

The mailbag closes with the ingredients shared by championship teams—and the NFL players who would belong on football’s Ryder Cup team.
