Agreed.   Drafting eventual replacements for Whit was the right idea - but they drafted two big time losers and could have had two good players, including Whit's current bookend.  They could have been bookends here.

It's the fact that we so badly assessed Whit's level of play, low balled a great player and great guy, then went on to badly assess the available candidates.

We'll never know what happened in the war room those two days, but I have to believe Alexander was the sole reason we drafted those two players.

So absolutely nothing can be laid at the feet of Whit.   He was disrespected by a team that did not have their crap together.

It's all on them not Whit

Still has me enraged.  They totally laid the groundwork for three failed years in a row.  More than coaches' heads should have rolled.
