Then 2012 cemented the run by getting Dre, Zeitler, Sanu and Jones.
Although 2015 hasn't panned out yet, but there is hope for Fisher and Billings still.
The recent downturn isn't related to drafting poorly. The issue is related to not retaining the talent that's drafted and developed.
But I'm just stating the obvious here.
I think our recent downturn is bad draft related....
drafting Ced & Fisher has killed us 2 years in a row.....
b/c if your O-line sucks your team sucks too.....
too many 3 & outs....punt, punt, punt....
