Message: [QUOTE="chugg21, post: 5644937, member: 3360"] Some context for each of these points. 1. Was a no brainer trade and worked out great for both parties. Saying now you would have taken Jefferson is extremely easy. The best GM in football had the pick directly before the Jefferson pick, had a giant WR need and actually drafted one and he took Jalen Raegor over Jefferson so I'm pretty sure saying you'd have taken him in a heartbeat is either ridiculous or you should be making millions of dollars a year as a super scout. 2. Miller had just made game winning plays in the Super Bowl in the last game he had played prior to that contract. It looked like a great signing as he had 8 sacks in 10 games which would put him on pace to be the highest since who, Paup or Bruce? 3. He wasn't in charge of the draft in 2017. 4. Turned out to be a terrible pick. It's not like any of us complained about it. He took a guy we expected to go in that range at a position of need and the guy was a bust. The real complaint is he may have got outmaneuvered and settled for Elam after KC jumped us and took McDuffie. Good chance that Elam was a preference of McDermott to fit the zone scheme better as he's 6'1 vs 5'11 for McDuffie. Bad move no matter what. 5. Excellent trade. No complaints. 6. Needed a WR and the ones going in that range were Xavier Worthy(bust), Xavier Legette(bust), Keon(bust), Polk(bust), Adonai Mitchell(bust) and the 2 white guys that no one wanted who ended up being the 2 best, Ladd and Pearsall. 7. Go look at the production that Benjamin had his 1st 2 years. He seemed like a stud. Had 2000 yards and 16 TDs in those years to save you the time. I don't know what the hell happened and he just became a bum after it. I had no memory of him being that awesome early, seems crazy. I just don't think he's done a great nor a bad job. I think he's perfectly fine as the GM and almost everything that he's done has made sense at the time. The only thing I probably hated in the moment was the initial Knox extension. [/QUOTE]
