Quote:Done a great job on the offensive side of the ball, but not a good job on the defensive side of the ball. Of course, most of the draft picks have been spent on the offensive side of the ball. He needs to draft all defense/OL in this next draft, and the same with free agency.

 

I mean you only get 7 picks and usually the best is going to be in the first three rounds, so you can debate as to whether or not he truly needed to gut the entire roster... but if you agree he did it surely would take longer than simply 3 drafts.. especially if your view is that quality Free Agents don't want to come here to have their careers die.

 

I agree that the (in this order) CB, Free Safety, LEO/RE, DT (especially due to Marks injurys), OLine need to be addressed still in the draft but he probably isnt going to be able to address it all... yet it is fair to critize him for not getting FA or trades to pick up those gaps...


I think his biggest flaw has been so far in picking a Head Coach as Gus appears to not have what it takes with his low winning percentage but others would argue that Gus had a huge influnce on the draft picks and their development & that for the first two years his friendship interferered with making the right choice at OC & that the team needs another year to prove that they can win...

 

the problem is do you want to gamble & wait on another 4 win season?
