This is a GM who foolishly went into his first draft blindfolded. Wasn't the previous regime's scouting dept still getting info for the upcoming draft, which wasn't that far away, and Pioli just kicked them all to the curb and basically said **** it, I'll do this with some little info I got from when I was in NE?
At the time, we desperately needed to do something about a QB. Thigpen or Croyle weren't ever going to cut it and everyone knew that. So obviously it was the right move at the time. Problem is, Cassel still sucks, and now we can't still spend another season wondering if Cassel is going to cut it while he learns under and new OC (whoever that may be).
