No one is safe. Especially him. He hired Bradley and gutted the majority of this roster. This resulted in a 14 - 48 record. Easily the worst stretch in Franchise history.

He also selected Blake Bortles and failed in adequately supplying him with legitimate competition. 2017 bought him extra time that was also the result of a lackluster schedule and finally landing on draft picks.

Prior to 2016. He failed throughout the draft.

2013 - No players here from that class

2014 - Two players left. Both oft injured in Lee and Linder

2015 - One player left. Cann. An average Guard at best

2016 - His biggest success. Now shakey at best. Ramsey traded. Jack extended and regressing. Ngakoue's future pending

2017 - Fournette. Over drafted. Robinson oft injured. Weak at LT. Smoot finally turning corner. Westbrook is decent

2018 - Bryan. Pending development. Chark. Showing promise. Harrison showing promise. Banged up a lot this year. Cooke a good Punter. Jacobs serviceable back up and ST'er

2019 - Allen & Minshew. A+. He took the no brainer gift in round one. Lucked out with a QB in RD6. Oliver and Williams cant stay healthy. Verdict still out. Taylor needs to improve in year two.

I'll admit this. Caldwell has shown some level of redeeming qualities. Despite failing miserably his first three years.

Now, the last two drafts, the question begs. Is that HIS thumbprint? Or more of Coughlin's thumbprint? It's hard to tell.

Committing to Bradley as long as he did. Gutting the roster down as early as he did. Those are still major knocks that need to be factored in.

There's a lot of spin in your list.

Take 2014 for example. 2014 was a great draft. In 2014 Bortles was a mistake but we needed a QB, and the other QBs taken in 2014 and 2015 haven't been any better except Carr, who isn't all that great either. Otherwise 2014 was a great draft with Robinson, Linder and Telvin all Pro Bowl level players, and Lee, Colvin, and Bowanko decent starters for us. The fact that so many are no longer on the team has more to do with them not wanting to stay, which goes back to the coaching staff, and that's true of many others who left (Fowler, Ramsey).

The OL players taken were all top prospects on pre-draft boards and their failure looks to be 100% due to coaching because they have all declined from their first year on the team, including free agent Norwell (and Beadles before him).

Caldwell passed over several good QBs, and he is clueless about trading down, but the players he picked are not the problem.
