[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 1033572, member: 12283"] Players who fall way below their projected draft slot can still be successful, but what their slide tells us is that the league didn't like them as much as the media. So it's very much a ding on the player himself. When Rodgers tumbled, the league was saying that they didn't have a very high grade on him. Obviously he proved them wrong, but he also sat and developed for three seasons. Consider Josh Jackson. In the 2018 draft, he was #16 overall by consensus. The Packers got a "steal" when he fell to #45. As it turned out, it wasn't really a steal. He was just a limited player-- the league knew it and the media didn't. Green Bay got to a point in round 2 where they decided it was worth the dice roll and he flopped. Tony Pauline reported that Washington tried to trade back into the first round to take Morgan. Jerry Jones said that Morgan was on their short list of players for their first pick. The Packers actually chose Morgan at #25 when, reportedly, they had trade down offers. All of that carries a lot more weight to me than where the consensus board had him. I just think that Packers fans spent months being told that DeJean was the obvious fit when there was never any real compelling evidence for that being the case. [/QUOTE]
