Generally great. Not traditional, hopefully disruptive. Some definitely deserve a serious review and not a rubber stamp. Importantly the process should be advise and CONSENT. The President should get deference and only if serious conflicts/legal problems/moral problems should you vote against him/her. It shouldn't be policy the Pres gets to pick.

I think the 4 obvious people that need serious reviews are RFKJ, Tulsi, Gaetz and Hegseth.
RFKJ has had some serious anti vax things said against him in the past.He needs to explain.I have heard him interviewed and I am personally comfortable. Forgetting the vax issue, COVID did so much to ruin the previously great reputation of the CDC that CDC, NIH and FDA need complete overhauls. Let them ask all the hard questions, he should pass easily. odds 80-20
Tulsi - More isolationist than many R's we need her balance viewpoint to the neocons. They will fight her but Trump needs her input. Rubio is a bit of a hawk so he can be a counter weight. Let's dispense once and for all of the Russia asset nonsense. She should pass. 80-20
Hegseth. Good resume but unknown. Needs to show the committees some gravitas. 60-40
Gaetz - Don't know much but what I know I don't like. There is no way he gets confirmed without the Senate seeing the report on him. I would prefer he becomes a sacrificial lamb for the others. DoJ/FBI need a wrecking ball but I think, Cruz, Lee or DeSantis would all do that with much less pushback. 35-65. IMO AG IS THE MOST IMPORTANT POSITION OF ALL TO CLEAN HOUSE AT DOJ AND FBI. I wish I liked his pick.
The rest are super strong My favs are Radcliff, Burgum, and Jay Buttacharia [sp] if he gets NIH.
