[QUOTE="Favre>Rodgers259, post: 898476, member: 10866"] I disagree. Draft classes are as much about right now as they are the future. When teams draft a QB in the 1st Round, they normally need a QB "right now". It used to be in the NFL that you drafted a QB and they sat for a couple years, but the majority of the league 1st Round QBs are the guy immediately. Only Rodgers and most recently Love are the prominent examples of letting a QB carry a clipboard for a bit before they take the starter's role. When the Packers drafted Jaire and later Josh Jackson, we needed CBs right then and there. When we drafted Gary, we needed an additional pass-rusher (albeit I was expecting full time on the DL) right then. Kenny Clark a couple years earlier was definitely a right now need. So I don't get where people think the Draft is only about the future. You need an impact player right then and there, who you're hoping will mature into an All-Pro and foundation of your team for the next 7-10 years. [/QUOTE]
