[QUOTE="Bagadeez04, post: 502668, member: 2104"] I've never been a fan of this logic. If Team "X" didn't have player "Y" they'd be the same as Team "Z". You can cite any team with an elite QB and say if they didn't have that guy they wouldn't be quite so good. That's a weak arguement in my opinion, but I think the example you use suits this little debate well. The Packers, a playoff caliber team with just a few needs to fix, draft a guy they don't need in the first round and let him sit the bench for a couple years. Not a popular move. He then happens to DEVELOP into possibly the best player in football, and you say, well if the Packers didn't have him they'd be on par with the Vikings? Well the Packers do have him. What if we give AR back to the Packers and take AP away from the Vikings? Then how do the teams stack up? We can do hypotheticals all day, but my point was pretty straightforward. The Vikings have been scooping up Packer free agents for years now, and while these players have done well, the results for the team/franchise have been the same. Maybe the guy they need to be scooping up is Elliot Wolf, or some other front office guy...so that they can develop this talent more efficiently, on their own terms and have a more youthful, talented roster year after year. If you bring in Jennings and maybe Bishop this year (both players who may be on the downslide in their careers) that necessarily means that a couple young prospects don't make the team and go somewhere else.
