A few players don't have trust in him. Ozzie draft strategy has faults......Plodding, big hitting teams are dinosaurs.  Fast, quick offenses and defenses are what is going to win.   Look at Denver's defense right now.  Von Miller and Demarcus Ware pressuring QB's and spending the $$ to get elite CB talent like Aqib Talib.  They get sacks and create turnovers.   Same thing with Seattle's defense the last few years.  Fast and create turnovers.  Ravens defense?   Stout and slow. Starting CB's the last 2 years that we are signing right off the street.    Stop drafting defensive tackles and tight ends on day 2 of the draft.

Agree on defense about the speed and playmakers creating turnovers, but receiving tight ends are still a very dangerous and very effective weapon to have on offense, but they're just transitioning from guys like Todd Heap, Dickson, Pitta, etc., to guys like Eifert who are more receivers than blockers (but they're still big and can block) and built to move better.
