He gave EJ two chances and he sucked in both. Putting his eggs in his basket as even our #2 cost us the postseason in 2015. Cassel wins that jags game going away, but Whaley just needed that 5th rounder in 2017 to excuse lifting his boy up the depth chart.
Winston was a sure fire #1 overall so I'm sure every single GM, Whaley included, think he's gonna be good.
