In Scot we trust?

I'll give credit to the Cowboys for finding Dak, but I think anyone who can game manage could have done the same thing. I think a lot of people also thought Elliott was the best back to come out in a long time.

I think Crowder is far superior to Shepard, even though Shepard is OK. I think we've been competitive in the draft since Scot's been here. If I really think about it, I can't say one team really has any huge edge.

I was just throwing out examples off the top of my head and Zeke was the only 1st rounder. We got a pro bowl guard at 5th overall and they got a league leading rusher with the #4 overall pick. Collins was a 2nd rounder, Dak a 4th rounder, Shepard a 3rd and Crowder a 4th. Even Gruden is questioning Scot's picks.

I'm all in on Scot and hope some of his other picks turn into good players, but it doesn't seem he's done anything but keep pace with our division rivals. Coming in, I thought he'd give us a big advantage, particularly in the later rounds. Plenty of questionable picks and the free agent decisions have been mediocre at best. That said, I hope he's our GM for years to come. I believe over the long term, he'll outperform the rest of our division and much of the NFC, if not the entire league.
