We focus so much on college scouting, I just think our pro player scouting has been below average aside from a few "street" FAs like Andre Davis, Will Demps, and Anthony Maddox.

Yes, the pro player free agents have been pretty abysmal, especially the big money ones. I can't think of any big money free agents this team has acquired that worked out, even a little. Weaver hasn't been much help, Todd Wade was terrible, Robaire Smith didn't do much that I remember, Green is perpetually injured (had he stayed healthy, this might have really helped the team's record). I just hope Reeves doesn't fall in this category as well.
