Year one: he inherited a team with a terrible o-line, cap hell and no number one receiver. Not much to do, but fix the cap and try to accumulate picks.
Year two: we get year three of the Justin experiment. Terrible o-line, the DJ Moore trade, Flus, Darnell Wright, Sweat and still no pass rush.
Year three: the payoff. Draft Caleb and Rome. Terrible o-line, no pass rush and flus fired. Drafted a punter in the fourth instead of trench help.
Year four: draft offensive weapons Loveland and Burden. Traded and signed entirely new IOL. Left tackle problems continue, no pass rush and no running game yet. History may judge him for not drafting an LT and EDGE with the first two picks of this draft.
Nobody will ever know the truth about the who and why of coaches and players, due to how the organization was run. I believe Warren has been a stabilizing influence on Poles. Poles is young and will continue to grow. For him to get above average, he must get LT, pass rush, RB, S and LB. All upgrades!
He says it would be a five year process and I think he's a year behind schedule, given that he will have to hit big to fix LT and pass rush.
My grade: C A very incomplete grade at that.
I left a ton of info on the table, so fire away with your thoughts...
