[QUOTE="spardo62, post: 224009, member: 516"] "But Thompson's win-through-the-draft philosophy works this way: if he's making the right picks every year, the process of competition will weed out weak links on the roster and make the team better than it was the year before. Thus, even if the three only make minor contributions this season, their presence should elevate the bar for making this team, not to mention provide valuable depth." That from Tom Silverstein's article in the JS pretty much sums up how one must view not only this draft, but every draft he has and will make during his tenure in Green Bay. People tend to get too worked up about marquee names and "positions of need" when analyzing a draft, while the correct view would be to see if we are adding quality football players regardless of position, capable of pushing those currently on the roster and contributing in that manner - as well as adding depth, special teams and insurance and no significant drop off if called on, while also having the potential to be above average starters in the next several years. The answer to those questions will not be answered for several years. [/QUOTE]
