If in rounds 2-4 your best pick in the last 6 years is either Misi or Hartline, then you know you suck as a GM. Add in that he has failed to draft 1 elite player in round 1.
In bold are all solid picks IMO
I see your point, but at a certain time, Jake Long was the best LT in the game. Mike Pouncey is also elite for his position. Jared Odrick has also been very solid. The only first rounder he missed on was Vontae Davis, and he is a solid B at corner.
In bold are all solid picks IMO
Long didn't help us win anything, was often hurt, cost a fortune and is no longer on this team, he was never the right pick at #1. Pouncey is good, not great and was drafted too high, has character and legal issues. Odrick is solid, but we passed over elite talent to draft him. Again if these are the bright spots, you have failed as a GM.
