For people who keep shytting on Mike McCarthy, I would like to point to one of the most important aspects of his arrival that gets overlooked. For how well the defense is playing, simply look to the last 2 drafts under Garrett compared to the first 2 drafts under McCarthy. Notice the players in Red. 2 drafts a piece under both coaches. McCarthy has 9 players that are either starting or are part of a rotation with a lot of snaps per game. Garrett only has 3.
2018
LB Leighton Vander Esch - basically a bust. doubt he returns
G Connor Williams - up and down, was benched earlier this year. isn't reliable
WR Michael Gallup - On offense. Probably won't come back
DE Dorance Armstrong - in the rotation. gets limited snaps
TE Dalton Schultz - When he has become the best pick in the draft something is wrong with your draft. And he will probably walk in free agency. And the only reason why he's playing is because Jarwin can't stay healthy.
QB Mike White - wasted pick. No longer on the team
LB Chris Covington - No longer on the team.
WR Cedrick Wilson - Solid 3rd or 4th WR on the team. Will probably replace Gallup.
RB Bo Scarbrough - No longer on the team.
2019
Trysten Hill, DT, UCF - So far a bust. Can't stay healthy...
Connor Mcgovern, G, Penn State - Another offensive linemen that's inconsistent, not reliable. First they pick Connor Williams, and now both of them are meh at best.
Tony Pollard, RB, Memphis - Best pick in the draft is a backup running back.
Michael Jackson, CB, Miami (Fla.) - wasted pick. no longer on the team.
Joe Jackson, DE, Miami (Fla.) - wasted pick. no longer on the team.
Donovan Wilson, S, Texas A&M - backup/special teams player at this point.
Mike Weber, RB, Ohio State - wasted pick. no longer on the team.
Jalen Jelks, Edge, Oregon - no longer on the team.
Defense is meh, and they use 2 draft picks on a running back?
2020 - McCarthy's first draft.
WR CeeDee Lamb, Oklahoma - Starter. rising star
CB Trevon Diggs, Alabama - all pro corner
DT Neville Gallimore, Oklahoma - One of the key linemen on defense. rising star
CB Reggie Robinson II, Tulsa - meh
C Tyler Biadasz, Wisconsin - starting center
DE Bradlee Anae, Utah - Made too many mistakes on special teams and was cut after week 8 this year.
QB Ben DiNucci, James Madison -
2021
LB Micah Parsons - All pro
CB Kelvin Joseph - future starter
DT Osa Odighizuwa - immediate impact on the defensive line
DE Chauncey Golston - is in the defensive line rotation
CB Nahshon Wright
LB Jabril Cox - Was one of the reasons Dallas cut Jaylon Smith. Future starter
T Josh Ball - on IR
WR Simi Fehoko - meh
DT Quinton Bohanna - starting to get reps on the defensive line
CB Israel Mukuamu - he not ready. special teams player
G Matt Farniok - backup
