Come on, guys. Dave is a quality GM.

Ramsey, Jack, and Ngakoue were good picks although Ramsey and Jack where no-brainers frankly. I'm glad Jack fell to us thanks to the rumors about his knee. It doesn't mean that Caldwell has done a great job overall. Look prior to the 2016 draft. Need I really invoke the name of Luke Joeckel?

I would say he did "ok" with Linder (not a great center but certainly serviceable), Marquis Lee (pretty good receiver but suffers from white rhino syndrome) and Telvin Smith (although Smith might be retired now). Beyond that, the pickings are pretty slim.

Since TC came on board DC has turned it around. Fournette, Richardson, Taylor are the kind of lunch pail kind of players TC was always fond of. The three drafts since he's been here has great picks at higher positions and great value at lower positions. Minshew no matter how you look at it was the kind of value pick that DC never came close too by himself.
