Excuses. That's all I hear.

Three quality starters would be a decent draft unless you gave away oh, I don't know, SIX DRAFT PICKS for THREE guys we're still not sure will be here next season...
Patience, my friend, is a virtue. What's going to happen will happen. We'll see the eventual outcome when it gets here. I'd rather not stress over it now. Hell, I'll not even stress over it regardless. Life is too short.

You go be virtuous Grasshopper. I'm sure the millions of dollars and draft capital invested don't change anything in the franchise's view either....

Likely not. Fans (and talking heads) are far more concerned with spent picks than any GM. Some work out some don't. It's all part of the business. C'est la vie.

The GMs that don’t worry about how draft picks work out aren’t employed for
long.

Or they have tenure with their franchises and the owner enjoys not having to be burdened with day to day franchise operations and genuinely are content with on-field results...

As it should be. Owners need to stay out of the day to day franchise operations.

Your years of experience as an NFL Executive aside, how would you come to that conclusion?

Every NFL franchise is run in its own unique way...

New Orleans Saints for example have one of the NFL's best state lobbying efforts getting the State of Louisiana to back guaranteed contracts so the NFL's smallest market is competitive...

Green Bay Packers are a publicly traded non-profit; its board of directors elects a 7-man executive committee who in-turn elects a Team President who represents the team as owner...

And then there's multi-generational teams, the Arizona Cardinals (formerly Racine, Chicago, St. Louis) who've demonstrated a family trait of not winning a championship in the modern era...

State of Louisiana has some strange Workman's Comp laws that causes delays in Saints reporting some player transactions (releases from IR) that League Offices are aware...

But Khalique Washington has still not been added to the Saints Roster per NFL Transaction Wire to take roster spot for the reported released LBer Sharif Finch...

Simply look at the franchises that have owners that DO meddle in day to day operations such as the Cowboys (Jones), the Redskins (Snyder), the Raiders (Davis), the Browns (Haslam), the Bengals (Brown), the Dolphins (Ross), and the Chargers (Spanos).

Then look at four of the most successful franchises over the past two decades in the Saints, Ravens, Steelers, and Patriots who cede ALL operational decisions to the GM (and staff) and head coach.
