I guess you have to when you take Jones, Cravens, and Doctson in the first three rounds.

Every gm misses and more picks is more chances to get it right.

I still think the hit rate should be higher in the top 3 rounds, or at least not be busts.

You're statement sounds as if you think Cravens, Jones and Doctson were all busts?

Doctson has one FULL year of experience and already led our team in receiving touchdowns... Jones had all the physical tools needed to become a quality starter in the league but lost his heart for the game... And I don't think anybody thought Cravens was a bust before he had that mental freak out.

I agree, the draft is a crapshoot and you want as many shots as you can get. What I don't understand is the all-to-common distain for McCloughan when he did nothing but bring in quality players.

Off the field issues happen, but I'm largely thankful for the work he did here in 2 short years.

(I know McCloughan wasn't your main emphasis on this post, I'm just confused as to why so many people want to point the finger at him when I thought he did a damn fine job...)
