One reason that some folks are quick to question or bash Caldwell is they all had to suffer through the prior GM's mistakes. Many of them tried to be patient and give him time - only to be disappointed. 

 

I think Caldwell will be more successful, but the value he received for Monroe isn't beyond reproach. 

More successful than Gene Smith?

 

Taller than a midget, faster than a snail.

 

You point is good though.  We have had Gene Smith who replaced Harris.  Just plain bad moves.

 

We need a GM that is going to make good picks ( I know...Duh..right?)  No reaches.  Make solid picks.  Too many years of Matt Jones, Gabbert, Achooachoo, etc type picks that are leaving us hollow.

 

As far as genius....let's see what he does with those picks.  If he can trade up and get multiple first / second round picks, then I will feel a little better.
