[QUOTE="warhawk, post: 224014, member: 431"] I will say that I think TT has the perfect mindset for a draft. I think he asks himself the question "which player on the board will be the most productive and playing at a high level in the NFL two, three years from now." He picks that guy. He will NEVER win the draft guru's over because they list the team needs and then see how the GM fills those needs. When will people get it that if you have many needs and your answer is a ROOKIE you are probably screwed. Only a handfull will answer that call any given year. Ted does this: 1) Finds high character players that fit in with what it is you need them to do. 2) DEPTH. You are only going as far as backups get you to a degree because starters ARE going to get hurt. Look at the Giants. Shockey get's hurt. No problem. Defensive backs banged up all over the place. Reserves come in and make plays and keep them competing at a HIGH level. That's what CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS do. I also think TT is very smart in how he looks ahead. Many wondered about picking Jordy Nelson. Here's what I see. You have a new QB and you have a pretty solid WR group. Play what if. What if Driver goes down? Here is a position where when ONE guy goes down it affects at least three positions. Now I believe JJ can handle moving up to #1 WR but the question becomes whether or not #2 and #3 can do the job at the level they need considering AR is out there for the first time. If NOT opposing teams clamp down on the run and suffocate our offense so it never hurts to have good competition there. Playoff teams ATTACK WEAKSPOTS so the answer to that is not have any which is why you see TT constantly building quality depth. It's also why we have come from the worst special teams to one of the best which NEVER hurts when you get in the big games. IMO this is why we are once again among the playoff teams. We got away from reaching for players in the draft at positions we had a need like DE's and CB's that are no longer in the league and began drafting guys that can actually play in the NFL. [/QUOTE]
