Whaley either seemed to hit a home run or strike out, was a mixed bag. Off the top of my head:
The Good: Jerry Hughes trade, Mike Gillislee off the street, Seantrel Henderson in 7th,, Darby, Shady, Preston Brown (not a stud but solid)
The Bad: Dareus contract, Watkins trade up, reach for EJ Manuel
I'm sure there's others but think these were the big ups and downs.
Can't blame Whaley for Rex hire cause that was Pegula. I also don't blame him for Shaq (jury still out) and Reggie because I think those were Rex picks. I also don't give him much credit for this years draft because I believe they were heavily influenced by McD.
IMO, Whaley's biggest issue was putting us in a bad cap situation and not focusing on character players, but when you have a guy like Rex chirping in your ear to just get me talented players and character wasn't questioned I think he was somewhat setup to fail in that aspect.
