Re: In Scot we trust?
With draft picks you have to give it more time than just a season to declare it a good pick or bad pick. We do know that Doctson didn't help us in 2016 but that doesn't mean he won't. What if he's AJ Green for the next 3 years before we have to pay him big money? Having a big playmaker at WR on the cheap can be a big advantage. Let's see on him.
Last year we didn't have the same cap space as we do this year. That said, the moves McC did make whiffed big time. I agree, he must be more aggressive in free agency this go round. If I were Gruden, going into a make or break season for my coaching prospects in 2018, I'd be down his throat about making moves. And frankly, he's right. I still want McC to be prudent, but it would do us no good to have $20M in cap space going unused. Hope he feels free to overpay a bit to avoid repeating last year. Get aggressive, still avoid guaranteed contracts that could hamstring us for 4 years, but gotta go for something. He's got to walk that line this year.

Re: In Scot we trust?
In one sense it's a shame. If you're drafting really well you don't need to dip into free agency so much. The player he hit on that I would have loved to see develop is Kyshoen Jarrett. Dude was flat balling at the end of his rookie season when he got hurt. He could have been a genuine answer at safety.
But, spilled milk. Can't cry. Bottom line is we now need a safety. Sometimes when your picks don't work out you've got to use the cap space to find a replacement. We need to come up with an answer at that position, bad luck with Jarrett or not.

Re: In Scot we trust?
I wouldn't even say we needed a decent running game (would have helped obviously). A couple of his freaking fumbles were absolute back-breakers. Not only did he fumble a lot, I feel like he always lost them too.
Between some poor-timed interceptions by Cousins and Jones' fumbles, we could have won at least a game or two more. Of course, hindsight and all that.

Re: In Scot we trust?
I predict Scot McCloughan's first three picks will be a ILB, A NT/DLman and a safety....Probably not in that order.....

Re: In Scot we trust?
Matt Jones is def a bust, I don't see how they can move forward with him. The coaches have zero confidence in him.

Re: In Scot we trust?
Jones has played well...The young man can play running back.....99 carries for 460 yards with a 4.6 per carry average shows he can play.....He just has fumbling issues..... Maybe they try to trade him for a 5th or 6th round pick this offseason.... Maybe they bring him back.

Re: In Scot we trust?
Hard to see Jones coming back, pretty sure they shopped him during the season but had no takers.
