That's reeruned. You can't just lose a fleet of pro bowlers on D and expect to move on without missing a beat. Unrealistic expectations, on your part. Oh, and they were just in a SB two years ago. I'd say they've rebuilt, not in all the same areas, but they've rebuilt....

His drafts have been mediocre.

Yeah, because their '10 draft of Gronk, Hernandez, McCourtey, Spikes wasn't a, like, a
grand slam and already one of the best you'll see all decade....
(Picking up Chandler Jones, Donte Hightower, Dennard just last year looking pretty good, too)
Not that it matters, because you are trying insinuate that drafting All-Pro caliber players (plural), on a regular basis, is somehow a realistic expectation on a yearly basis. That's an utterly reeruned mindset.
It's like watching a baseball game, seeing your favorite player go 3-for-4 with a HR, and then expecting him to do that
every game. As if a .750 BA and 162 HRs is a legit benchmark. That kind of game/draft will happen once every-now and then for a great player; but it isn't happening every time. The draft is the same way.
