Quote:I agree he'll go that way, too.

 

The most important question is, will he be successful?

 

Given his defensive picks so far, I'm not so sure.  I'll let him prove it before I'll endorse it or expect it to happen.

 

For that, we'll have to wait and see - and I'm not so optimistic.  The defensive talent fell off while he was in Atlanta, and he bet the farm (and arguably won) on Julio Jones.

 

It could be he's got no problem with spotting talent at WR, but a blind spot for defense.  We'll see.

You can't count the Fowler pick as a hit, or miss.

 

Everybody agrees that the majority of entire 2013 draft was garbage, from top to bottom.

 

He seemed to hit on Telvin and Colvin. He brought on Abry Jones as an UDFA in their first year I believe? He has been a solid player for us. Nick Marshall has some good developmental upside. As much as people love to hate on Josh Evans, he's a solid player for a 6th round draft pick. He's solid depth. Sample and Bennett are still unknowns.

 

He has spent a total of 11 picks on Defense, of their total 25 picks. 6 of those 11 picks on Defense, have been in the 5th round or later.
