Regardless of how much Marrone liked Shatley, Cann and Omameh, the final decision on whom to draft or pick up in free agency was in the hands of Caldwell and Coughlin. There were several good free agent guards available and they ended up with Watford, who has been below average in his career. They then passed on guys in rounds 3, 4 and 5 who could have all pushed for starting at guard. Smoot looks like a good player, but the need was not great for a run-stopping defensive end. Westbrook looks great, but how will he do when going up against shutdown corners instead of 3rd stringers, especially when the weak offensive line doesn't give our q.b. much time to throw before getting sacked.

Yes, Caldwell is lucky to still have his job due to keeping Bradley too long and his failure to hit on Bortles, Fowler and Joeckel. I expect him to be gone after this season, if not sooner.
