Chaisson was nothing special in college and we wasted a first round pick on him and we wasted a first round pick on C.J. Henderson, because apparently we didn't even interview him to find out he was a headcase. Always interview players before you draft them. That's football 101. We also wasted a 2nd rounder on Sheanault. I wanted to draft OT Tristan Wirfs, WR Justin Jefferson and CB Jaylon Johnson.

Interesting. I was thinking Wirfs, Jefferson and then Antoine Winfield Jr. or Grant Delpit at S in RD2. 

I'll admit this. I didn't know a whole lot about Shenault leading up to the draft. However, I saw a highlight reel on Denzel Mims and thought he would be awesome in the NFL. Not, 2nd RD awesome, but, maybe 3rd to 4th RD awesome. He's not panned out at all for the Jets. 

I liked Darrell Taylor out of Tennessee that year at DE/OLB and you would have had the same, if not, more potential out of him than they got out of Chaisson so far. 

I also really liked Julian Blackmon at S and Leki Fotu out of Utah that year. Was also high on Harrison Bryant and Adam Trautman that year at TE. 

At the minimum though. You take Wirfs and Jefferson and you're looking at two pro-bowl caliber players on day one. Absolutely insane that they whiffed not once but twice that year.

He doesn't show enough in the limited opportunities he's had on the football field. I don't blame him. I blame the people in charge. They mismanaged two elite player's egos in Ramsey and Ngakoue and they have failed miserably in trying to recapture anything near as remotely as good as they were here. 

This team captured lightning in a bottle once and the man who lucked out with that didn't know how to keep a lid on it long enough to enjoy it. That's why him and Marrone should have been shown the door with Coughlin instead of giving them yet another year to [BLEEP] this franchise over some more.

Couldn't agree more on Caldwell.  Dude got a big head and thought it was easy.  Not everyone on his chessboard can be a pawn if he wants to succeed.
Aside from mismanaging those guys, what kind of tool bag trades the reigning Walter Payton Man of the Year for a 5th round freaking draft pick??!?  He should have been canned 5 minutes later!  Even if Campbell had lost a step, being a step slower than an ALL-PRO is still pretty freaking good.
What I find most unforgivable about it though, is that if Campbell plays here a couple of more years, he's likely a shoe-in for the Ring of Honor.  Caldwell robbed Campbell, this city, this team and the fans of any chance at just a little bit of history in the middle of this barren 10+ year wasteland of nothingness.

On Chaisson, he played rush-backer at LSU in a 3-4 and was supposed to be a perfect fit with the scheme change. Not looking good at all so far.
