Trading Ivory was a misevaluation--plain and simple. I thought so at the time, and I still think so. It was all part of the attempt to elevate Ingram, which Payton and the FO felt pressure to do b/c they invested two first-round picks in him. Ingram is a pretty good, but not great back who has not justified his draft cost. Ivory was undrafted and cost us very little salary wise. This is just one of a series of mistakes the FO made over the past few years, which is why they brought in Ireland to try to get player evaluation back on track. It looks like they may have done so based on this year's draft. But there's no need to make excuses for the organization's past mistakes, such as Ivory was injury prone or he wasn't right for our system.
