Pace knew Aikeem Hicks from back when he was with the Saints. Adding Hicks was a great move.
Pace drafted Roquan, and got us Mack. Picked Eddie Jackson and Cohen in the 4th round, which was a great value. And he brought in Allen Robinson and Robert Quinn.
If Pace would have just promoted Fangio to HC, let him turn over the reigns for offense to someone not named Nagy. And let Pace continue adding talent. It would have been a completely different team.

Disagree with Pace. He overvalued some players and overpaid in terms of draft capital to get them. Overall his 1st and 2nd round picks were awful.
Fields is going to be great IMO. Has the right mentality and all the talent needed to succeed. People with his amount of talent and work ethnic usually excel unless something freaky happens.
