'05- Shawne "roidman" Merriman... Good for 2-3 years before he gets busted for roids. Hasn't done anything since
'06- Antonio Cromartie... Turned out to be a decent corner. Left the team after 4 years
'07- Craig "Buster" Davis... nickname suits him well
'08- Antoine Cason... another decent corner... we got Flowers in the second round who is much better.
'09- Larry English.. Bust
'10- Ryan Mathews.. Not looking good
'11 Liegeut (sp?) Too early to tell.
Sure he has found some gems like Michael Turner and Antonio Gates, but overall he is really overrated.

his 2004 and 2005 drafts were exceptional. 2004 got Rivers and Turner and some other solid players. 2005 was really good with Merrimam, Castillo, Jackson and Sproles.
The rest have been nothing special but not complete crap. He drafted Whitehurst and then turned around and traded him for a 2nd. He drafted Weddle and Naana who are solid. He drafted Cromartie who has talent but just doesnt apply himself, Cason is a starting CB for the too. Other players who have contributed are Vasquez, Mathews, Butler...
IMHO he's by far the best GM in the AFCW when it comes to drafting talent.
