Wren, as you said, was a developmental player. Jordan- another developmental who vastly improved to the point of being penciled in as a starter. You can't blame the top picks because injuries occurred. They will show or not show this year. So they whiffed on Davis, Anderson and Brown. Given the late start Taylor and crew got, this was not a bad draft class. Let's see how this year plays out...
Looking back on that, they supposedly got the LB Davis endorsement from their new LB coach, who they ended up firing too after the season. It seemed like the late hiring at that position and the reach in the draft backfired on them.
I don't solely blame that on Zac as the FO is also to blame as they help with the candidates and hiring process as well. And, it was so late in the game for Taylor.
Man, LB and OL have been the achilles heel for this team for a few years now. They just can't seem to get it right.
Hopefully, they change it around in this draft?
