Is he?
Again, thanks for Baker, but after that, he drafted Ward who a lot of people had as the consensus pick (Bradley Chubb was really the only other option at 4). After those two picks, the only other player he hit on is Nick Chubb, who exceeded everyone's expectations, including Dorsey's, because Dorsey took Corbett two picks ahead of him.
2018: Austin Corbett, Chad Thomas, Antonio Callaway, Genard Avery, Damion Ratley, Simeon Thomas.
2019: Greedy Williams, Sione Takitaki, Sheldrick Redwine, Mack Wilson, Austin Seibert, Drew Forbes, Donnie Lewis
In what world is this a good talent evaluator? Not only is it a piss-poor job of evaluating talent, but he went through a good chunk of the assets we had stockpiled at a blistering pace.
It's weird to discredit the good picks when you have that list of bad picks below.
Ward was definitely not seen as the consensus pick- Bradley Chubb was locked in at #4 in just about every single mock draft and that pick was kind of blasted. Pretty much every other post in the Ward thread was "happy with the pick, wish we traded down to get him. Would've preferred Chubb"And while Ward was seen as the #1 corner, he wasn't universally seen as the #1 DB- plenty reserved that spot to Derwin James and Minkah Fitzpatrick. We've seen this team pick in the Top 10 year after year and routinely screw it up, so again, the criticism here is weird.
Do GMs deserve criticism for a 3rd round pick becoming a Pro Bowler because they took a different player in the 1st and 2nd round?
