I can understand Collins but Williams is and will always be a puzzling pick. Almost zero pass rush from him. You could have gotten a run stopping edge at someplace other than 11 where this team needed an immediate player not a project. With that being said there are two things I blame Saleh for. The first is tackling. This team has HORRIBLE tackling from everyone including starters. I don't know if they focus on in practice or what but that is a huge issue. The second is his lack of creativity or even trying to mix something up. Outside of that Saleh has bunch of dudes that simply are backups starting from the DL all the way to the secondary. The team even with Warner & Bosa healthy has just a large starting talent hole.
It's not coaches fault the players can't tackle. This isn't pee wee football where kids are just learning to play.
There are reasons why Winters was a 6th round pick, Bethune was a 7th round pick, Gifford is a special teams guy only and was an UDFA. Hell it's been so bad at linebacker this year that we have to play Garrett Wallow and Curtis Robinson.
It's a massive failure on Lynch. At least he identified the need for a LB. Too bad he took a guy in round 3 that had a 6th round grade and couldn't see the field.
