No he absolutely was not. If he were a good talent evaluator, he could have found some guys to fill the 30 or 40 holes that his decent picks didn't fill.
Talent evaluation does not stop at the draft. In a salary capped sport you have to find production at lower cost than the competitors. That's why everyone looks at the draft as the answer, but certainly equally as importantly is the free agent market. In order to be a good talent evaluator, you have to find guys at low cost that can produce.
Herm absolutely under no circumstances did that. He fielded an absolute shit roster save a few guys he managed to find. So now he is a good talent evaluator? GTFO He was a shit coach. He was a shit personnel guy. He was a shit manager. He is a shit analyst.
