The Offense Was Lousy, But the Defense...

I think the team has done an outstanding job of second day drafting the past few years. Not that I'd want to hitch my defense to the quick development of Golston and Mongomery, but when in two seasons you can produce 2 DTs, 2 LBs, a TE, and a solid backup QB from picks later than the 4th round, I think that really says a lot of good things about your scouting department.

I have nothing but good things to say about this team's college scouting department compared to the rest of the leagues' (generally awful). It's the pro scouting department on this team that puts this franchise in such a big hole.
