We've been talking about Thompson's drafts quite a bit in various threads, so I wanted to ask kind of a specific question and get opinions from the masses. Thompson drafted Breno Giacomini in the 5th round of the 2008 draft. He tried for two years to make the 53-man roster but couldn't do it. In 2010 we cut him, he cleared waivers, and then put him on our practice squad. The Vikings then talked to him about signing to their 53-man but ultimately the Seahawks signed him after Week 3. He was cut a month later and then re-signed by Seattle for the 2011 season. He was a backup at first and then has started much of the past two seasons with mixed success. He is starting to play better but is still a far cry from a Pro Bowl right tackle.
Back to my original question, if a guy like Giacomini succeeds as a starting RT for another team and he was signed away from the Packers, do you still give credit to the GM that drafted him?
