Quote:Ryan Grigson traded a 1st round pick for arguably the worst running back in the history of the NFL. He's a terrible GM, my Weimaraner would've drafted Andrew Luck so he gets no credit for that.

 

Now, I've been on record many times saying I'm not overly impressed with Grigson, however, he's hit home runs on MANY different things as well (not counting Andrew Luck). Here's a few of his home runs:

 

-Trading a 2nd round pick for Vontae Davis (his best move IMO, I would of given up a 1st for him). Absolute steal (that no one talks about)

-Signing Cory Redding. He's been a HUGE vet leader and overall great player for us.

-Dwayne Allen

-Coby Fleener

-Trading UP for TY Hilton in the draft

-Re-signing Reggie Wayne (when everyone thought he was done)

-Re-signing Robert Mathis (when everyone thought he wouldn't fit the 3-4 defense)

-Essentially his entire 2012 draft class

-Essentially his entire 2014 draft class (take out Richardson, obviously)

-Ahmad Bradshaw (when healthy...)

 

Now, while he obviously has some HUGE misses as well: (Landry, Satele, Richardson, 2013 draft).

 

As a GM you're going to have some hit & misses. Grigson has been on both sides of that, big time. With all this being said, he's not the worst in the NFL. Not even close. He's also no where near the best. Not even close. He falls somewhere in the middle.
