I've pointed out 4 or 5 picks in he past two drafts (prior to the 5th round) that didn't make sense for our needs or the positional value among those needs.

here are tow local beat writers saying the same thing

Meh, the positions he drafted isn't the problem.  It's the players!  If these dudes were studs it would be good to great picks but he's drafting [BLEEP].  My biggest problem with him is drafting guys that suck.  The Lions took a RB in the first, off the ball LB mid first,  and a TE very high in the 2nd, both higher then where we took our RB and TE and they were great picks.  Question is out on Campbell but if he turns into a stub it will be a great pick as well.

As i said somewhere in the game day thread, we finish 9-8. Tampa beats us on the way to winning thier division. We beat Carolina, probably by a FG. The tacks then get revenge for last year.

Honestly this wouldn't shock me at all. I think the only way meaningful change happens is if we don't make the playoffs. If we make the playoffs their gonna use injuries as an excuse for being one and done.
