Did The FO “luck” into Zac?

They just over drafted Sample (no surprise for this FO)

It was late, as the hiring wasn't announced until after the Superbowl. All of the other teams had already hired their guys and had massive head starts in assembling their staffs. Zac had to hurry, scramble, grovel and beg to get a staff in place. I mean, good grief, Lou Anarumo was like the 5th option at DC. Wasting all of that time really set the draft evaluation process back, thus leaving Duke to his own devices. We see how that draft turned out..
