We are supposed to have a guy with the potential to be our QB of the future and yet he did pretty much nothing to help him. O-line help? a guy in the 4th round who played for a division III (?) team. A WR who has had injury problems, great!
He also admitted he would have taken Chaisson at #9 if the Cards drafted Henderson.
He was unable (or worse refused) to trade up to get better talent and we ended up with 12 picks LOL

It's not fair to judge our current draft yet. We don't know how the current players are going to respond and produce this year let alone how the players drafted will respond and produce. The coaching staff seems confident in who they have, so they may have steered him towards bigger needs. 

As for the Bortles pick, that i believe set the team back even further, yes. Thats completely on Caldwell. He took a swing and missed. But do we know if it was Caldwell who had the bright idea to extend Bortles? How about the bright idea to spend such a high pick on Fournette? So i don't think you can completely put the blame on Caldwell for this teams failures over the last few years. The draft of Ramsey, Jack and Ngakoue really set this team up to have a defensive powerhouse when you see the other players that were added through free agency and the handful we already had. Did Caldwell have a part in that? Or does Coughlin get all the credit? Its really hard to say Caldwell has been so horrible when we know for a fact someone was brought in to over see everything and ended up being a detriment to the team. But what we don't know for sure is how exactly it affected the drafting, retaining people and bringing in new. 

I'm not for or against Caldwell. I'm just bored and there isn't alot to talk about right now. So debating this topic gives me something to do. 

Love how "we can't really blame Caldwell for anything"   those people really have the team they deserve.
