[QUOTE="easyk83, post: 706002, member: 8895"] Agreed, but should your depth be good backups or should it be made of guys who could eventually develop into starters. The trouble with this approach is that A) you don't always have ready made players at positions of need and B) a position switch sometimes undermines a players value and might allow a talented player to fall. Picking at the bottom portion of the first round either you get solid players or high upside guys with a significant fault. Jones wasn't drafted to be an OLB and Nick Perry played Elephant End at USC, the same position as Clay Matthews... at the same school. With Randall I'd say wait and see, let's see if he bounces back from his second year before we proclaim him a wasted pick... like fans were claiming about Rodgers he injured his hammy during the 07 campaign or about Nick Collins after he failed to become an impact player by the time his third year finished, or Davante Adams after his sophomore year. There aren't any number 1 CBs in the FA market, there are some journeyman guys who could turn into a decent number 3 or maybe even a 2 with a grossly inflated price tag. Is it the drafting or the developing that's at fault here? [/QUOTE]
