DrewP isn't intelligent I will agree with that. The way he talks to the media shows lack of education. And the way he talks about women shows his boorishness and also shows his inability to read public opinion. So book smarts, no.
But being intelligent is different from street smarts and experience and DrewP has both. Years as a cop, and he did ok in moving up through the ranks despite legal issues. And he managed to survive working undercover. During his work as a police officer he has helped to investigate other murders and heard shop talk about still more murders. He has likely heard of slipups committed by others that led to them being arrested for murders. So he does have experience.
I also think a part of the 'dumbness' that he exhibits is a deliberate act to get the reaction he wants. Which is for people to think he isn't smart enough to plan a murder. I actually know someone who also does that. He isn't an Einstein, but he is smarter than most people realize and because people think he is dumb but good natured he gets by with a lot and little is expected of him.
What has he done to show he has some intelligence? He has owned and operated a couple of bars for a number of years, he managed to accumulate quite a bit of income in some way-even before his 'inheritance'. That does take some intelligence.
