Quote:Shack drafted Leftwhich and Reggie Williams back to back. Smith drafts Gabbert and Justin Blackmon back to back.

 

Both QB's are complete busts and both WR's are druggies who can't stay the #$%^ out of trouble. Shack drafts Barnes and Gene takes Monroe, both end up as overated underachieving tackles.

 

I have never seen a sports franchise get absolutely bent over this bad by poor regimes and bad luck.

That's Gene Smith's scouting department.

 

This most recent draft still had those grubby fingerprints all over it.

 

The only way for Caldwell to effectively change the franchise is to draft the best player available each and every time we pick. You build the roster by continuously adding to the depth you have. By erroneously drafting so called needs you end up one deep and the next man up is a practice squad player.

 

If Caldwell will pay attention to the red flags, swear off needs drafting for drafting the player with the highest draft grade, we will reap the harvest. We will be deep at positions to over-flowing and will not face the heart-rending situations caused by character deficits.

 

Up to this point, nobody has been critical of any of the new players. Eight games in is a point where we should begin to ask questions about some of the "explosive" players. Robinson and Sanders have yet to make any kind of immediate impact, something they were expected to do.
