Everybody wants an "impact high level" player in this draft. No 1st round pick from Herm's time fits that.
Tank and Turk were the suck. Yes, yes they were and are. Pollard is average to less than average. Let's call him average with a shit attitude.There is a reason the Texan's gave him another 1 year contract. It's not because he is awesome.
Croyle is very talented? At what? Throwing hard and and rehabbing?
DJ is a huge disappointment. And it's not this coaching staffs fault he cant put together a ****ing complete mistake free game in 4 years. He started for 3 straight years and never lived up to the hype.
I don't see Herm being a draft genius.

Two playmakers in Charles and Flowers (and yes, Flowers is a playmaker). A solid starter so far in Brandon Carr. Two players who played well in the backstretch of last year in Cottam and Mike Cox. A Left Tackle I believe has strong upside in Branden Albert. A solid at least #2 WR in Dwayne Bowe. A solid but unspectacular DE in Tamba Hali. In Dorsey, you have a guy who played decent at 3-4 DE and probably would have played a lot better at this natural position last year at DT. And even in terms of quality depth, Tank and Turk, Page, Pollard are very solid rotational guys.
This is a team that was built exclusively on 3 drafts. Few players from the Vermeil era were good enough to be on the Herm roster. And Carl was too cheap to bring in elite, long-term free agent options. Considering that Herm had almost nothing to work with, that list above is pretty solid.
