[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 710531, member: 10441"] why do people think he can't draft defensive players? because some didn't pan out? I don't know what Datone's deal is, he's flashed ability, but is consistently in consistent. Perry has shown what he can do healthy, but Ted doesn't pass out the healthy pills to only certain players. It doesn't work that way. Some guys are too young and were injured to know either way, but when you look at Daniels, bringing in Tramon, drafting one of the best safeties to play the game in today's NFL from a school nobody watches in Nick Collins, UDFA sam Shields, Burnett, Ha Ha, Clay Matthews, Raji certainly showed what he was capable of for a while in this league. Those are certainly players that a defense can be built around. But as it turns out, Shields' career was cut short. Those are mighty big shoes to fill. Nick Collins, another all pro, career ended in the prime. Matthews shouldn't be in decline right now, but it appears he is. Raji quit. Those guys should STILL be the corner stone of this defense, with everyone else around them as role players and if we got some playmakers great. But football happened and it didn't work out that way. I certainly can't argue that the defense has been strong, but there have been enough playmakers drafted and added UDFA to this defense and certainly enough role players to fill in around drafted that this defense "should" be better. Not every defensive pick is going to be an all pro, but he's picked his share. I realize guys like Harrell and Worthy were wastes, but hey, how can I rag on him whenI thought Worthy was worthy of that pick too? I remember being out to eat when my draft tracker app told me we got him and my wife asked me why I had such a big smile and I took that as an invitation to tell her all about he draft going on. I don't think she was impressed, turns out I shouldn't have been either. [/QUOTE]
