Lack of trust leads to a certain measure of paranoia.  He never could get comfortable with the draft as the tool from which you build a team. Not grasping on to this concept lead him thru a series of decisions over the years that landed him out of the job.MS was so concerned with what shortcomings he saw that he would either draft for need or compromise what it is and what the draft does by trades to address those shortcomings. We all know that it is enough of a crap shoot when you have the whole board of remaining players to choose from let alone isolating a specific position and going after a need. As the years went by and not having an influx of talent from previous drafts he had to look at other means of addressing needs. Many of the moves made were not in regard to what it meant to the future of the team. His lack of trust in utilizing the draft to build a team became painfully obvious by '04 and he lost the job.His lack of trust in his staff and not using their imput or trusting management put him out of town.</blockquote>
