One positive from this draft and FA period:

[Wiz]

While I think Marv's moves or lack thereof in free agency and his draft so far have been disasters, the positive is that we will know almost immediately whether they are or aren't the right moves.

 

While later picks cannot be judged until three years down the line, first rounders, especially top ten picks, are immediate contributors. If Whitner and McCargo aren't productive NFL starters in 06, it will be clear the Marv and company failed. Especially because, by almost all accounts, we reached with these two picks. (It wasn't like MW, who was universally considered a top-ten pick.)

 

Further, if Peerless isn't a productive #2 receiver in 06 (as per the $10 mil contract), it will be eminently clear that Marv's first year was a failure.
