but Fisher wasn't a reach. He more than likely would have been top 5 even if we'd been elsewhere in the draft.
Baldwin was picked at the bottom of the first round, so I don't know how terrible that is. It's not comparable to whiffing on a Tyson Jackson type of pick.
The two biggest success factors in the NFL today are Head Coach and Quarterback. If you don't have those, nothing else really matters.
I think the reason why we've mostly been a bottom feeder for the last decade is because we haven't had either one of those until this offseason. It wasn't because we missed on a DE 5 years ago.
Belichick and Newsome whiff on picks too.
