Elston was taken off of DL duty for a 2 year stretch, by bleedsgreen04

at which point yes, the DL recruiting and development suffered. Nearly all of the stretch you're arguing about wouldn't even apply to guys brought in since he was moved back in 2017, which was really more to the point of what I was talking about....

When you are talking about "actual results" I don't know what team you've been watching the last few years, but over this more acceptable 3 year run here, how on earth can you argue for anything but the DL results? You argue dismal draft results when two of the three of the defensive lineman that left or used up eligibility were drafted relatively high in a strong DL class, and the third (Jamir Jones) even found his way into the NFL as a linebacker (for now).

Seems like an odd counter. Yes, they could use more "blue chip" recruits, but I don't agree even in the slightest about Elston not recruiting or developing at a high rate. You're high if you think things are trending otherwise right now.

I know nothing about Elston's personality, I'm only going off of the results I see on the field and what I read about on ISD, and the ISD staff also very highly regard Elston's acumen as well.
