1.  The 2013 draft--  Win.  So far you have to be pretty happy with the players he brought in at face value.  I'm not saying it'll stay that way, but so far I think the rookies are progressing as much as can be expect on such a low caliber team. 

 

2.  The Monroe trade-- Lose.  Even in the best case senarios we gave up a LT without even really trying to negotiate with him, at least that's how it apppears to me.  Second, from the twitter reporting, Caldwell didn't really shop Monroe but just bit at the first offer for him?  Just a whole lot of lazy GM'ing right there.

 

Conclusion:  We'll know about Caldwell after another few years.  Still too early to annoint him anything other than a new GM that made some mistakes but potentially is a good talent evaluator.  Hopefully he continues to learn and he picks the QB that will take us to the promised land.
