It's still easier to blame Stafford.

Is Mayhew really that bad? I don't think so... Not at player acquisition.
Coaching has been a problem for Detroit, for sure. But, I think the president and (perhaps) ownership have just as much influence on HC as the GM in a lot of places.
Here's his draft history.

They got stung a bit with injuries (Jahvid Best, Ryan Broyles) and a flat out player with the mind of a child (Titus Young). Still, it could definitely be worse.
2013: Ansah/Slay/Warford is the kind of draft that turns teams into contenders. But, somehow, they can't do anything with it.
