What we didn't have was any depth, and for all intents and purposes, we still don't.
What I find disingenuous is praising the personnel skills of someone that turned a franchise around when almost all of the best players on this team are holdovers.

Brilliant post.
Pioli has drafted 0 game changers to this point. Berry is a "maybe." Everyone else has a huge mountain to climb.
NO ONE Pioli has drafted even begins to compare with:
Tamba Hali
Glenn Dorsey
Jamaal Charles
Branden Albert
Dwayne Bowe
And I don't want to hear "well Pioli has only been here for 27 games." Hali, Albert and Bowe were wrecking shit as rookies. Charles was flashing big time as a rookie and turned it on his 2nd year.
Unless Dexter McCluster and Tony Moeaki turn into Percy Harvin and Dallas Clark in the last 5 games, where are Pioli's game-changing impact players? Berry, perhaps, but he was a no brainer.
Oh well, at least Jake O'Connell's arrow is pointing up.
