Despite the criticism, Caldwell's picks from this year's draft are playing well.

Quote:I'm in the minority and that's fine but No I don't think Caldwells done a very good job of upgrading the roster. In most area's were just as bad if not worse off then when he was hired. Things can change and players can develop but I just think Caldwell has taken two steps back one step forward. 
 

He gutted a 53 man roster and is restocking it with draft picks. There's just one problem; you generally only get 7 of them a year, and out of those 7, you're lucky if you get 3 quality starters. The rest are depth, special teams players, role players, etc. Anyone who thought this was going to be a 2 year project is kidding themselves. I would say we're not even halfway there yet. Build through the draft, and use FA to patch holes. Look back at the Jags drafts prior to the Caldwell regime and tell me how many players from those drafts are still on the 53 man roster today. That's why we're in the mess we're in now.

10 years ago we had Bob Hope, Johnny Cash, and Steve Jobs..... Please don't die, Kevin Bacon.
