Not that he can't make good picks, but enough to turn this around? I'm not sure."Yes, he's made some good picks.  But he's been drafting heavily on the defensive side for years now, and the defense is as bad as ever.  That's why I say I'm not filled with confidence that he will draft well enough now to turn this around.  Maybe he will, I hope he will (since it appears he will be sticking around until his contract is up), but I'm not going to hold my breath.  Or maybe it's not Ted, maybe the problem is Capers.  One of them is surely part of the problem.Some people want to say all the defensive woes are because of injuries.  But all teams deal with injuries.  If we're waiting for that one magic year when no one gets hurt, we're in trouble.  The Patriots just won the Super Bowl with Gronkowski out.  I think cornerback was an accident waiting to happen this year because of all the UFDAs.  Too little experience there, with Shields as the only real veteran, and he had a history of concussions.  His loss should not have been entirely unforeseeable.</blockquote>
