Adam Peters is the hot GM this year, everyone is talking about him, he’s the best GM on the planet. The 49ers are one of the best teams in football right now, so it’s a bit difficult to argue otherwise, but we’re going to look at the numbers anyway.
| Category | Peters Grade | Peters Regrade | Rivera Grade | Rivera Regrade |
| 2020 (PFF) | B+ | B | B | A- |
| 2021 (PFF) | B | C+ | A- | B |
| 2022 (PFF) (NFL) | B | B | C+ | C |
| GPA | B (3.1) | B- (2.7) | B (3.0) | B- (2.9) |
Looking at the data it appears Peters had the better initial grades and Rivera had the better regrades. Depending upon how you look at it, either grade could be more relevant. I’m actually of the camp that the initial grade, biases excluded, is the more important grade, that said the initial grades won’t recognize unconventional wisdom.
