[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1001254, member: 7261"] Agree. I think he was his own demise, but being moved to CB didn't help. There was what, a 5 year or so period, that TT and the Packers really struck out with drafting DB's. First was Ha-Ha (2014 Pick #21), then Randall (#30) and Rollins (#62) both in 2015. Then Kevin King (#33) and Josh Jones (#61) in 2017. Finally, Josh Jackson (#45) in 2018. Jackson was a Gute pick, but he also selected Alexander (#18) that year, so it balanced out a bit. As you alluded to with Randall, some of those guys contributed, but were way too inconsistent, given where they were drafted. I still contend that those 5 years, of 6 high investments in DB's, were ultimately what drained the WR and TE rooms, amongst other positions (ILB, OLB, OL). In doing so, TT's misses cost the team quite a bit over his final years and into Gute's rein. Fortunately, the Packers were able to maintain a pretty decent OL, by having mid to late round guys return more on what was invested. They also had an aging Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers play well at OLB, just no depth to speak of behind them. [/QUOTE]
