Worse than any team Gene Smith fielded


Quote:I didn't bother comparing the first rounders as they are basically a wash outside of Ramsey (which gives Caldwell a clear advantage.)

 

I did bother comparing the 2-5 rounders because they illustrate my point very succinctly.

 

If you think "this whole team is a bunch of Gene Smiths" then I can't help you. 

 

None of these guys look like Gene's work:

 

Ramsey, Telvin, Ngakoue, AR15,  Marqise Lee, Linder and Jack in the drafts  -plus the signings of Jackson, Ivory, Marks, Nortman, and Amukamara are all very plainly better moves than anything Gene did with his opportunities in Jacksonville. 

 

I look at the base talent level of those thirteen ^ acquisitions and see a much greater base level of talent than any "best group of players" you can assemble from Gene's acquisitions. 
Not to mention, all the players (outside of maybe Blake) were top 10 or top 5 talents in the draft.
