In Scot we trust?

He's finding us some good players each year in the draft, give them time to develop. Preston Smith has shown an ability to take over games, next year could be a breakout year for him. Cravens looks to be a beast if he can stay healthy. All the experts including Cooley love Kendall Fuller. And other young guys are contributing like Dunbar, Spaight, Ioaniddis, Lanier, Everett. Let's have patience and stay the course

At some point, maybe after year 3, I'd love to see a detailed analysis of Scot's draft performance as it relates to the rest of the division. When he came here, I thought he'd outsmart everyone else and find late round gems year in and year out, but it appears to me that Dallas and NY have done better during his time here. Dak and Zeke were in the MVP discussion this year and the Giants found a pro-bowl safety in Collins at pick #33 while we got a pro bowl guard with the 5th overall pick in the same draft. Yes, Crowder was a good find, but the Giants got similar value with Shepard.

Matt Jones in the 3rd round looks like a bust, but Preston Smith, Fuller and Cravens may turn into something. He's found some good contributors, but no one that really knocks your socks off. Time will tell I guess.
