[QUOTE="wpr, post: 67694, member: 198"] It's an interesting dilemma. I told my wife this morning that there seems to be 2 schools of thought. Either you get to draft a few impact players that will start or contribute right away and you sort of write off the rest of the draft with players of lesser ability or a team can stock pile a whole bunch of players that have some potential and might blossom some where down the road but we know that a team will get very few players in those lower rounds who are able to contribute right now. I guess it depends where the GM/HC or even the fans see the team. If the Packers are just a couple of players away from making it all the way back, then they should draft quality over quantity. If the team has been devastated over the years and there are holes at almost every position (both starters and backups) then they need to get more numbers. I personally would have liked to have seen them get the better players and fill the major gaps right now. They can work on depth later. Apparently TT sees this team has having major needs everywhere and thus wants to get a ton of players to fill out the roster. Since this is the 2nd year he has opted for numbers over talent let's hope that come next years draft he feels the team is far enough along to look for the better caliber players 1st. Here's something else to consider. Since TT is a hardline negotiator perhaps he needs lots of young players on the roster b/c he is willing to let the older players walk rather than give in to their salary demands. [/QUOTE]
