I think you have to give a lot of credit to Demeco. Not saying Caserio didn't have his input but Caserio has made way too many mistakes in the past.
So you start a stupid thread blaming Cesario for the bad picks, but when it looks not so bad it's primarily Demeco's doing. If it starts looking bad I'm guessing Cesario will be responsible for the picks again. Why isn't this thread titled Damn Demeco?
Sure. Blame all negatives on Caserio, credit others for any positives. A perfect receipt for blind bias.
Imagine where this team would be with Sauce Gardner, literally anyone else in round 1 besides Green (Jordan Davis, Kyle Hamilton, Jahan Doston....) and George Pickens (taken 8 picks after Metchie). It's easy to re-draft with hindsight and results. But blowing 3 of your top 4 picks in a draft following one in which you had no 1 or 2 is so damaging. He absolutely won the Watson trade - but, again, as I've argued: since at least three teams did not care a lick about his deviance, trading a 25-year old franchise QB isn't hard at all. Of course, he immediately lessened the trade by jumping up for Anderson.
When you word it like that, but the only thing he gave up from the Watson trade for Will anderson was 1 of the 3 firsts. And Will is looking like a great pick. Edit: I am not a Caserio fan, not am I backing his decision making. Only that he did win the Watson trade. No need to diminish that. He does plenty of diminishing his own value in his other decisions. But I will give him the Watson trade.
The players producing on the field had to come from somewhere. The Nico Collins trade was obviously a big win. Sorry again threadstarter, maybe next week will be better.
I mean there’s like 6 places I would look before caserio for the play on the field being so good. But most of this initial post were to defend the Watson and Will Anderson trades. So I’ve seen positives and negatives with him. But not hashing it out now. Too good of a day!
