[QUOTE="wpr, post: 10408, member: 198"] Bruce I think you have made some good points and for the most part I agree with your concept that people whether it be the media or the fans who claim GB didn't do anything on defense are wrong. I think you missed point #11. The young players that they have on the DL will step up and perform better this year. The same for the young DB's who have a year under their belts. If GB did nothing else but bring in Bates that move improves the defense for sure. I know that hidden treasures are found every year in rounds 5-7 but more often than not they take several years to develop. Many times players drafted in those rounds don't make the cut with the team that drafted them (at least not teams that are competing for their division title and the Super Bowl) so I am just a bit skeptical about how much the 3 defensive players will contribute who were drafted in the last 3 rounds. I am not an expert on college football players so I can not intelligently comment on the players that GB drafted. There are two things however that trouble me about the draft. 1. That GB seemed to reach just a bit with their defensive picks overall. I don't know what goes on in all the war rooms it just seems like Collins for example may not have been the best player on the board but for their new defensive scheme maybe he was. 2. I was a bit upset to see them time and time again trade down for more draft choices. Once again I could be all wrong and time will tell but I would rather have one solid player in the 3rd round than 3 players who may not even make the team being selected in the 5-7th rounds. (6 players over all in those rounds.) It's the old quality vs quanity argument. Players from those rounds who do stick with teams in the NFL typically do so for a couple of reasons either they truly are the diamonds in the rough and to get one is great, to get that many is unheard of OR the team's depth is so bad that even mediocre to average college players are considered an improvement. If it is the later reason that really doesn't offer us much real encouragement. [/QUOTE]
