I personally grade Caldwell as a top 5 Gm. When you look at the players he’s drafted, the players he’s brought in in free agency and coaches and average it all out, it heavily is in his favor. Add in the fact that the 2012 roster was the worst roster I have ever seen assembled and he may go down as one of the better GMs ever if he can get a Super Bowl win or two.

That 2012 roster had no high end player. The best player was Poz and he was an above average player. Not elite at all. In 5 years he built one of the most talented rosters in the nfl and acquired high end players along the way.

Patience really is key and it can payoff bigly
