And we still don't know if Jordan was a miss. Still extremely young and he has been playing better this TC.

Mixon, Bates, Chad, Corey Dillon, Collinsworth, Dan Ross, Boomer, Ickey Woods, Harold Green, Carl Pickens, Tony McGee, Darney Scott, Eric Steinbach, Whitworth, Dunlap, Dalton, Boyd.
I also know that Taylor has only a limited say in the draft. Even Marvin didn't have as much say as we all thought. The John Ross pick proved that.
For Taylor, it's more about what he isn't able to get from the players. He's certainly been given a much larger free agent budget than Marvin ever had. Yet, some how, he's not getting the wins that Marvin got.
I'm certainly not beating the drum to bring Marvin back, but I am saying that even an average coaching staff would be getting more out of these players.
We will see if this is the roster he needed to improve his coaching. Still haven't gave up on him yet but this is Taylor's make
or break year IMO.
