[QUOTE="CaliforniaCheez, post: 94372, member: 167"] [b]Re: Florio: Sherman only?[/b] Well the article is not entirely accurate. As to players: "Dunno" Washington had plenty of red flags. A punter should never be drafted on day one(even if it is Ray Guy) etc. But every team has made mistakes with high picks. The real key is the impatience exhibited in each draft. The willingness to trade up. Giving up 2 draft picks for "True Luck". The other thing to learn is how costly a mistake can be. If Marshall had panned out a 1st round pick would not be spent on Barnett. If Jue had been a good selection Carroll (or possibly Nick Collins would not have been drafted). The flip side of that is when a lower pick like Tauscher, Wells, or KGB is a good pick up few high picks are spent on that position. Only about 50% of draft choices work for the team. What Thompson has learned is that 50% of double digit picks leads to more success than Sherman's 50% of 4-5 picks. The quality/quantity debate will always go on because the draft is imprecise as is any endeavor involving humans. While many are tired of hearing about the Hadl trade followed up the next year by the Del Gazo trade, there are plenty of examples in the history of the draft to learn what works and what does not work. Unless extreme rebuilding is going on it is unlikely a dozen rookies will make the final roster. There is no formula for success but there are many for failure. Not being extreme in anything helps. ************************************** Hiring Schottenheimer got McKenzie to blow up and want out. Some can make the connection between Schottenheimer hring leading to drafting Carroll. Historical context is essential for proper analysis. [/QUOTE]
