In Scot we trust?

[Irrefutable]

I am not as confident in Scot as most people on this board. He has had two drafts with three significant contributors in each class. 2015 Scheriff, Smith, and Crowder. 2016 Cravens, Fuller and UDFA Kelly. Granted there were injuries. However, this brief track record is nothing to brag about . He passed on D lineman when the need was obvious.

The free agent record is mediocre at best. J Johnson,Bruton, Toler, Reyes, Culliver, etc. Sure most of these are low level contracts, but his west coast magic appears to be gone.

Smith????? Fuller????? Kelly????? Wth have they contributed? They are bodies. They are able to play because we have nobody else and zero depth i guess.
The free agent moves are laughable. The two drafts so far are fucking atrocious.
This guy is not the savior we all thought he was.

I did not say a high level of contribution. Smith has made a few plays and looked promising after last year. This year has been a major disappointment... except for a few plays. Fuller is ok, also a disappointment. Kelly was undrafted and when he ever gets some blocking he can be a solid addition.

How quickly you forget about the rest of his picks. jamison crowder, brandon scherff, and kyshoen jarrett.

Really, Scherff was the 5th pick in the draft. I guess Scot is a genius for finding him. Brandon is a very good player, however they thought he was a tackle... guards are very rarely top 10 picks.

Crowder was a good pick. And Jarrett's career is over. Two good picks out of 14 or so is not a good batting average.

Leonard Williams make the pro bowl? Brandon did.

Did not forget about anything. But two good picks in two years is not so great. Maybe a couple more pan out, but as it stands now - a couple key guys. That is not good enough to take it to the next level. Hence we took a small step back this year.

Is it time already for the annual BPA vs. draft for need argument? I hope not because I get clobbered in every pre-draft thread for my philosophical lean towards drafting for need after the first round. I just want to say that we can't always have it both ways; that is, drafting BPA and drafting for need at the same time.

So, what's the vehicle to target the filling of major holes, then? Isn't much of it done via FA? If that is the case, then I'd like to see Scott go for more players who solve position needs vs. stop-gaps in FA. We have enough cap room to do that this year.
