[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 664608, member: 9033"] So, just read an article discussing how the Packers build the team and one paragraph struck me as odd (btw, you should read the article, interesting read, link at bottom of post). Aaron Nagler (SI and Cheesehead TV) reported that the Packers were close to drafting Myles Jack in the first round but were concerned about his second-contract potential due to his knee injury. This struck me, if true, as kind of stupid. Historically, first round defensive players from Thompson haven't needed to worry about a second contract because their performance hasn't been worth a second deal (and I'm talking about a first round worthy second contract, not the one-year "try to prove I'm worth" it deal that Perry signed). What's the real concern? I mean, logically, what's the real concern? That Jack will be really good for three years (that would be TERRIFIC for the Packers) but that his knee will become a problem and he won't be worth a second deal? Guess what, that would be more than the Packers got out of Perry, Jones, Harrell, Sherrod or Raji (who did give the Packers one good year). Look at it this way. Ndamukong Suh only played out his first contract for the Lions. Does anyone look back at the Lions taking Suh and think it was a wasted pick? I'm not saying that Clark won't be terrific, I have no idea and I'm real hopeful, but factoring in a guy's SECOND contract (5 years down the road!) when making a draft pick doesn't make any sense. Again, Suh was a GREAT pick by the Lions and the Lions didn't get a second contract out of him.
