All Jerry had to do was keep Kris Richard, hand him the entire defense back in 2018, and this team would be 3 years into building a Doomsday type defense instead of drafting the foundation of one.
Interchangeable DE to DT defensive linemen, fast play making LBs, and tall DBs that can knock away or intercept the ball. Sounds familiar?
I was concerned with Quinn hiring because of Lionel Vital at Director of Scouting ind Dallas. Vital was in Atlanta as the Director of Player Personnel (See Will McClay). They had the Vic Beasley turmoil with Drimoff bringing in Pioli who said Beasley was too small to rush the passer. Well 15.5 sacks later Vital was right but out of a job.
Jerry should be out on camera announcing picks with his grandson. That means he is not in the draft room selecting players and that is how you got Jabril Cox.
Let Owners own, Coaches coach, and Scouts/Pro personnel evaluators draft. If the Owner can stay out of the construction site, McClay and Vital can build a Super Bowl team .
