The team was devoid of salary cap space. The roster was one of the five oldest rosters in the league. The Lions and Mayhew did not have a plethora of draft picks at his disposal.
His first draft netted: Stafford, Pettigrew, Delmas, Levy, Hill, and even Murtha. It was solid. Compare that to the last Millen draft where Cherilous & Dizon were the first two picks.
Mayhew had his team in the playoffs within three years. Was he great? Probably not ... but to label him inept is 100% ignorant.
