Well, if he's not very good at his job then I guess he isn't terribly necessary and ignoring his suggestions might be the best call. On the other hand, if he's not very good at his job, unless you get awfully lucky, there is a decent chance you won't end up being very good at yours either. Largely because you will be operating with insufficient/not terribly accurate information regarding players skills and potential. (In that case I would suggest finding yourself a better scouting director.)

Now, if he is good, and you are nearly always ignoring his suggestions on draft day, you might just want to fire yourself. He's necessary, but you might not be.
