[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1032525, member: 18006"] I don't see that so much as a philosophy for how he evaluates players, but rather what he thought was the best player available to him at that particular moment. Or rather, the best player available who fits a need. For various reasons, it seems to be that 3 years out of every 4, a premium defensive player is what the team needs most badly. I think that like most GMs, Gute's definition for defining who is "the best player available" largely means whomever is most likely to be "the best player available who can help us the most at this moment in time". In most cases, a GM has some ideas on But [I]he [/I]did. That's the point. And while the jury's still out on Stokes, he appears to have ben right on all of them. Very much. He has some serious red flags, and was widely projected in Round 3. But he was also one of those players who was considered likely to go early by someone who fell in love with his 4.36 speed, and sure enough Green Bay did it. Big mistake; hopefully Gute learned a lifelong lesson from that. Hah! More a novella. Way TMI there. Probably could have organized it a lot better, but was burned out after compiling it. It was fun to do, though, and I was particularly surprised by what I learned about how he aproaches the 3rd Round, how much weight RAS seems to carry in different rounds, and the types of schools he drafts most heavily from invarious rounds. Oh, also on that one... forgot to get this in there, but man, Gute seems to trust his mountain states/West Coast scouts. We seem to get a lot of players from that end of the country. I'll be interested in seeing how closely this weekend's draft parallels the historical trends. [/QUOTE]
