[QUOTE="Calhoun Lambeau, post: 328365, member: 4110"] So what you're saying is that Ted Thompson ignores team needs and drafts the best overall player? How would you know? Ted Thompson doesn't care how you, I, or Mel Kiper ranks players. In 2009 B.J. Raji was better than Michael Crabtree in Thompson's eyes, but EVERYONE else had Michael Crabtree ranked higher. You said Thompson doesn't draft for need, but he did, we desperately needed a NT for our new scheme. Had Thompson followed the philosophy you think he follows, he would have picked Michael Crabtree. Also in 2009, we traded for the 28th pick. The best players available there according to everyone was Chris Wells and Rey Maualuga, not Clay Matthews. In 2009 we didn't need a RB, or ILB, but again, according to your thinking Thompson doesn't draft for need, and he passed on the RB/ILB for a need, a pass-rushing OLB in Matthews. So yeah, it's clear your opinion on Thompson's philosophy is off the reservation, Thompson draft's to fill needs, always has. From Aaron Rodgers, to Nick Collins, to Justin Harrell, to Bryan Bulaga, to Morgan Burnett, to Mike Neal, to AJ Hawk, to Jordy Nelson, to Brian Brohm, to Brandon Jackson, to James Jones. We as fans think we have our team needs pegged, but i'm sure if we sat Thompson down he would have differing opinions on who we should draft because he drives the car, he knows how it works, we just watch from a distance.
