Quote:First off, 2013 was a weak draft. There weren't many players taken after Joeckel who were worth 1st round picks either. Also, Caldwell was stuck with Gene's scouting department that draft. He remade the scouting department after that draft. Joeckel looks to be a serviceable LT this year. You expect more from the #2 pick in a draft, but maybe not that particular draft. He's at least looking better than any of the four OTs drafted in the first round in 2009, including Monroe who hasn't exactly been lighting it up in Baltimore.


 

Cyprien, Gratz, and Sanders looked pretty good in 2013. McCray was more of a project but he had some highlights that showed there was potential, and then last year he was one of the better CBs in the NFL. 
These four players have already declined. That's 100% on the coaches, not the GM.
