Sounds about right to me. I went to round 1 of the 2013 draft, and got to see us botch #1 in person. Though, to be fair, if your defensive line this offseason was Dion Jordan playing and contributing, Olivier Vernon, Earl Mitchell, and Cameron Wake, do you go out and sign Suh? Maybe it was for the best that he didn't pan out.

I couldn't get the link to work, but I know the list. Quite frankly ever since Shula took over the GM duties we suck at drafting, especially in the early rounds. Jimmy Johnson had a few hits but some serious misses too. Only in these last 2 years do I see talent in every player brought in. A great nucleus of young players that will be the future of the franchise. We have other threads here this week wrestling with the pending cuts. We have young players with some skills we would like to keep around, but we can't keep them all. When Bethard was judging our talent we were the winningest franchise in all of professional sports history. We need to be able to keep filling those reserves with young talent, then as injuries, free agency and retirements take their tolls as they always do, it's next man up. That's the way a champion does things.
