They hit on Jackson and McCoy, but drafted few other players of any consequence. Maclin was the only first rounder that worked out for the rest of Reid's tenure.

I just think the alarm bells should be ringing when someone with a pretty good record in the draft is pushed out, leaving us with someone who has a mostly negative one in Reid, and someone in Veach who we are hoping may one day develop into what Dorsey already was.

Why did ownership feel this would strengthen the franchise and bring us closer to a Super Bowl? Anybody's guess.
More horsehit.

Reid took over the personnel reigns in 2001. The list of players that were drafted is long and impressive, from Brian Westbrook to LeSean McCoy, Fletcher Cox, DeSean Jackson and on and on and on.

Stop trying to rewrite the past.
