IMO, it has a lot to do with it.
Carl drafted a very good player. That's good on paper, but the fit of the player with the team wasn't that great.
He wasn't well rounded enough in the beginning and Priest ended up being healthy and did a great job for a few more years. Then after one complete solid season (with a one and out playoff loss) there is a contract dispute and the team is entertaining offers for the player. Good draft pick in terms of talent, but in terms of the positive effect the player has had for the franchise it isn't nearly as good.

Q: Herm, back on December 25th you were asked if Trent Green was your starter going into next season and you said, ‘yeah, why wouldn’t he be?’ Have you changed your mind on that?
EDWARDS: No, I have not.”
