[QUOTE="all about da packers, post: 94386, member: 227"] [b]Re: Florio: Sherman only?[/b] Cloudy, I wouldn't say it is completely accurate. First of all, Sherman was a coach who relied HEAVILY on his scouting department to scout the players he couldn't. That alone made it such that Sherman valued their input a great deal. IMO, this scouting group might have labelled players in a manner that ultimately made Sherman draft them. For example, you have the draft board set to Ahmad Carroll and the scouts agree that he is REALLY young and will improve with age, has blazing speed, amazing vertical, has all the tools to develop into a shutdown corner. Now Sherman reading that may have had the philosophy taht Ahmad could be a great CB, and eventaully a steal for whoever gets him. Thus with CB being a need, and Sherman knowing there was talent on this roster to compete for the playoffs, he decided to go ahead and draft Carroll because he had the potential to be a can't miss player that would have put his team over the top. I still can't remember where I read it, but I really agree with the person who said Sherman conducted his draft from the view that he needed one more playmaker to put his team over the top. Thus Sherman gambled a great deal in search of that one player who would do that, and ended up missing on his home-run attempts. [/QUOTE]
