I suppose they figure having one of the best offenses in the NFL for 3 years qualifies as succeeding no matter the number of playoff victories.

Sounds like the guy we get the direct scouting report has to pass it thru layers of bureaucracy and the person making the final decision is reading reports that were rewritten.
This article didn't get into draft tendencies. We tend to go after tweeners and project players who are a bigger gamble with potential bigger payout that rarely pans out. We need to start taking the gambles later in the draft. Mitchell was one of those gambles who should have been drafted two rounds later. Bartee, and Freeman are examples of tweeners and both should have lasted until later rounds.
