How important is it to have your DC in place for the combine?

Thoughts?

not important at all when your head coach is the one who will be running the defense and picking the players

I say word too much for not being a homie

Hopefully, Jeff Ireland will be the one picking the players and Wade just telling him what type a player and what positions he needs.

Why?

How has Wade drafted in the past? any GOOD/GREAT players drafted by him?

Thank you.

Any lower round picks that turned out good/great?

 

[Jimz31]

Let's face it...it would be nice to have the entire coaching staff in place by now.

 

[speedkilz88]

From what I've read, Wade isn't known as a talent evaluator. Those past drafts weren't necessarily his drafts. AJ Smith was in charge in Buffalo and in SD.
