I think Carl has done a fair job with first rounders considering our average draft position. I think he runs into problems in the second round because he tries to get too cute. It seems like he's always trying to find a diamond in the rough. And it always seems to backfire. I think he'd do a lot better if he drafted players with a record of producing on the field. Especially when drafting defense. To me, the best defensive prospects are the ones that have a proven track-record in college.
Instead of taking the Chris Speilmans of the world, we end up taking the Bartees, Battles, and Mitchells of the world. All great atheletes but not proven defenders.
That said, I think anytime you can get a young pro-bowler at a position of dire need for a second round pick you have to do it.
