It directly lead to the trade of a 2nd round pick for chase claypool because the team had no receivers, but hey at least they got the now concussed strong safety!
I am sure Poles could have made other moves. The cause and effect isn’t direct

But... never forget that he was the first great failure by Poles. The uproar about passing on Pickens in round two gave birth to reaching for Velus Jones in round 3.

Are you suggesting Poles reads CCS?

Maybe if we cause more of an uproar Poles will draft better

Obviously its not a 1 to 1 cause.

He could've tried something meaningful in FA but he did not. That is not a direct cause and effect either.

You can debate percentages but it at the end of the day waiting until round 3 to draft an elderly gadget player and ignoring WR in FA led to the 'need' to trade for claypool.

I don't see the point of your post besides stating the obvious

No I meant the draft talking heads and media. People like Potash, Wiederer, etc

Duvernay is a 2x pro-bowl returner. It makes no sense to not have him be the guy unless he gets hurt. Although his yards per return on punts has plummeted.
