Most of the moves that DC makes, whether they pan out of not, I am typically happy with at the time he makes them (iirc people around here were happy with Luke the joke, Bradley, and most of the other moves people gripe about now when they were initially made). So I feel like I would playing the captain hindsight role if I say 'I think he has made a slew of bad moves drafting and otherwise'.

My only gripes with DC that I really didn't like at time they were made are the way we have addressed the QB position over the last year and the trading of fowler. Even though I understand the situation that lead to the fowler trade(the point he was at in his contract and our depth at the position), I don't think we got enough value for him in the trade or at least I don't believe we can replace the production he brought to the team for what we received in the trade. I have heard the argument that we were bound to lose him in the offseason so it was sort of a position were you take what you can get when you can, but I don't know that I necessarily buy that we couldn't work some kind of deal to keep him around or at the very least get a little more than we did out of him.

My other gripe being how we have addressed the qb situation over the last off season really comes down to what we did(or didn't do) in the draft last year. Taking tanner lee seems like a complete wasted pick now(and I was not on board with it at the time). We had the opportunity to take Rudolph in the third iirc and passed on him for someone that I don't think anyone had on their draft boards around here a round later. Not to mention all the FA qb's that traded hands last offseason, it really seems like we missed a opportunity of a very deep QB offseason and came out of it with someone who didn't cut it in Cleveland(Cody) and someone who would probably struggle to make the practice squad on most other teams(Lee). AND to top it all off we extended a guy into a contract that has made it nearly impossible to trade him and will ultimately be a cap hit whether he remains on the roster or not. I think the reason we didn't bring in more competition was largely to ensure the qb we have that we are riding with him which IMO massive mistake that has ultimately set this franchise back at least a year if not more.


But like I said, at the time of most of his moves, I have been on board with what DC has been doing. Whether the moves panned out or not is a different story.
