How is it that you don't understand the difference between run-blocking and pass-protection?
BTW- Herm has drafted Olinemen in:
01-Kareem McKinzie-3rd rd-(Starter for SB champ Giants)
01-Situpe Peko-6th no info
02-Chris Baker-3rd-(2 year starter for Jets)
02-Jonathan Goodwin-5th (started in '05, mostly backup)
03-Dave Yonanovits-7th no info
04-Adrian Jones-4th(starter in '05, now backup in KC)
04-Mark Cavka-5th no info
05-Joel Dreesen-6th no info
06-Dre Stallings-6th
07-Taylor Herb-6th
07-Michael Allen-7th
So, one starter in seven drafts? Impressive! Maybe if Herm had tried taking an o-lineman in one of the first two rounds, he would have had two starters!
If it's talent evaluation you want to look at, let's compare the past 2 coaches to coach here in KC from 2001 to 2005: these players are still contributing to their respective teams and first rounders
Vermiel drafted:
01:
no first rounder
Derrick Blaylock-5th
Monty Beisel-4th
02:
Ryan Sims-1st
Eddie Freeman-2nd
Scott Fujita-4th
03:
Larry Johnson-1st
Kawika Mitchell-2nd
Jordan Black-5th
Jimmy Wilkerson-6th
04:
no first rounder
Keyaron Fox-3rd
Jared Allen-4th
05:
Derrick Johnson-1st
Dustin Colquitt-3rd
Edwards drafted:
01:
Santana Moss-1st
LaMont Jordan-2nd
Kareem McKenzie-3rd
James Reed-7th
02:
Bryan Thomas-1st
Jon McGraw-2nd
Chris Baker-3rd
03:
Dwayne Robertson-1st
Victor Hobson-2nd
Brooks Bollinger-6th
04:
Jonathan Vilma-1st
Jerricho Cotchery-4th
Eric Coleman-5th
Derrick Ward-7th
05:
no first rounder
Mike Nugent-2nd
Kerry Rhodes-4th
Just looking at the names on these lists, i'm glad if we're going to rebuild this team thru the draft, that Vermeil is gone. I'd say Herm is a better evaluater of talent than Dick was, but I'm sure y'all will find reasons to tell my why Vermeil's group was so much better than Herm's.
