I love the cherry-picking to prove that he is great

The cherry picking?

 

The 2014 draft was one of the strongest in team history, if not the strongest, kind of tbd. Last year, we got Greene late who looks like an elite punt returner. We got Yeldon who has the looks of an RB1 who made a lot of things out of nothing behind a terrible run blocking OL. We also drafted a guard in Cann who has the looks of a fixtrue at G for the long haul. That is without our top pick playing at all.

 

He found an elite DT in Sen for pennies in FA and locked him up on a cheap extension. He landed a good #2 corner in House that played pretty damn well this year, and that was with a non-existent pass rush. He signed Skuta on a deal that is 4-5M per who was solid at OTTO when he was out there playing. He signed Julius who was huge for the development of Blake and took a lot of pressure off of ARob and Hurnsy.

 

It's no cherry picking. He got a bunch of cheap FA's like Hood, Gerhart, etc. that were good gambles that didn't work out and cost next to nothing nor hurt our cap at all. You aren't going to hit on everyone you sign/pick. If you want to play the [BAD WORD REMOVED] 2013 draft class card, go check out the Ravens draft headed by Newsome, who is considered a top 5 GM in the league...that draft class was pure junk. They got Matt Elam and Arthur Brown with their top two picks, who have both been [BAD WORD REMOVED]. To be fair, Brandon Williams is working out pretty well though.
