He drafted Mekhi Becton when he was with the Jets.

He was a Cowboys O-line coach when they drafted All-Pro's Travis Fredreick and Zack Martin.

He was an assistant at this time, not the actual OL coach.
How much influence does an assistant coach have on draft picks, especially 1st rounders?

As for Duane Brown, I didn't really follow Pollack before he was with DAL. Should we be going back all the way to 2008 though?
I feel like anything more than a decade ago may not really be as valid since the game has changed since then, but maybe I'm wrong.
Duane Brown also did not make the Pro Bowl nor All-Pro until after Pollack was no longer with HOU, FWIW.
I can understand counting him though since he did make the Pro Bowl just last year with SEA. It's understandable he could have been influential in Brown's development 2008-2011 to propel him toward those PB and AP seasons down the road.

Mekhi Becton has just been meh, otherwise I would have mentioned him.
7 sacks, 23 total pressures allowed in 13 starts in 2020.
