Pretty sure Hyde would have stayed if Ted knew Sam Shields was going to be out after the first quarter of the first game the following year.
Of course Ted didn't have the opportunity to go back and change what happened during any season.

Real easy to play the what if game.

No GM gets all the picks right. Ted made some good and some bad picks, just as all GMs do.
Hindsight makes it easy to blast a guy.
The only thing that bugged me with Ted, was that he seemed to pick injured guys high, hoping they would get healthy and be a great catch.
Like “Bustin Justin Harrell.”

To add to 2Sheds comments:

CB was a bigger priority than OLB at draft time 2017. King is rated by PFF as "above average" and Watt, with 6 sacks is ranked as "average." Watt has two 3 sack games, which shows his pass rush ability is dependent on the match-up or circumstances, plus that only accounts for 6 of Watt's whopping 377 snaps!

Ted got a better player, at a position of greater need and an extra early 4th round pick. Who can bitch about this?

NOTE: Hayward in his prime only got $15M for 3 years when he left; at 29 he got 33.3M for 3 years. PLEASE, understand he played much better for Chargers. GB passed on Hayward because he was a self-absorbed child that REFUSED to take coaching and they didn't want this attitude rubbing off on the youngsters. There was zero indication that he'd ever get better.

When he went to SD, he took his work more professionally. Hayward's mom died tragically in the off-season B4 his 1st season in SD; this is what catapulted him to manhood.

I think what did him in was the broken leg that year.
