The Concept of Giving a Coach a Few Years to Build a Team

Don't forget that the coaching staff evaluates the current roster and also has huge duties in scouting. Our free agent crop was mediocre...and our draft has looked bad so far.

The whole infusing the team with talent is failing.

Plus, who's to say that Taylor is the guy to be a great scout? He was mediocre at his 2 chances at OC and has been mediocre here so far.

I think for a 4th round pick that Finley is a keeper as a back up QB.  Williams is an unknown but he was BAP so it is hard to miss on that pick.  Rodney Anderson was worth the gamble and if not injured would fit into the Gio role and Mixon role combo into one back.  They do not use Sample enough in packages so I do not know what is there.  Jordan may need a better OL assistant coach to develop so he looks like a miss thus far, but I would hope to give him more time to develop.  Wren is just okay. I expected more from him.  T. Williams has been injured but looked like Walton 2.0 during the preseason.  

The coaches did not have a lot of time to prepare.  Not a lot of time to scout.  Lets see what they do in the next draft but as of now, I agree, the infusion of talent may take longer than a couple of years.
