[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 872639"] Winding back the clock a year to the free agent haul, with Gutekunst saying , "“Obviously, this is Green Bay, Wisconsin; we’re in a [URL='http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/295163/packers-gm-splurge-not-a-sign-aaron-rodgers-window-is-closing'][COLOR=#000000]win-now mode[/COLOR][/URL] all the time", win-now "obviously" is subject to interpretation. One evident interpretation is that if one believes he already has the pieces to win-now, or will have when the draft is concluded and perhaps a low cost vet or two are added in the post-draft cuts, then why not do both? Take a luxury pick in the first round and win anyway! What could possibly go wrong? "Win" in win-now is also subject to interpretation. There's the all-in kind that often leads to failure and some combination of a mountain of dead cap, rebuilding, people getting fired, or carrying on in the hope it can turn around with the same players. I'm not a fan of roster building that does not look past the current year. Then there's the kind where win-now is thinking you are good enough to make the playoffs or even win the division and then just see what happens. A luxury pick in the first round can then be afforded. I think we know where we're at now, that last perspective and not a middle option where you take the opportunity to stack a draft with a relatively cheap player for now and the future. [/QUOTE]
