[QUOTE="jaybadger82, post: 497770, member: 6211"] I need to vent: Hated this pick. Not because I dislike Tretter or think he won't make it on our roster. I hated this one because it represented poor value. This guy was graded as a 6th or 7th round pick. There is no need to use a fourth round selection on a player that can be obtained later, using one of our numerous remaining picks. We give up value by missing the chance to kick the tires on another player on our draft board when we reach for a guy that isn't so highly thought of by other franchises. For example, we could have given Quinton Patton or Jesse Williams a good look in camp and still obtained Tretter in the 5th or 6th round. We shouldn't have to trade back into the 4th in order to grab Franklin, when we could've used this pick on him. We could've been trading back for someone else... I understand that Ted has a board and sticks to it and I respect Ted's eye for talent but by failing to adjust for the objective value of a player like Tretter, we miss on value. You're paying a greater opportunity cost in order to obtain a player that would probably be available for less later on. Disagree all you want: you're disagreeing with basic economics. With that off my chest, welcome aboard, J.C. He's a Packer now and I wish him the best. Besides, everyone loves J.C.: [ATTACH=full]11268[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
