[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 538837, member: 5830"] Buckley may have been good with the Dolphins but he wasn't when with the Packers. If he could tackle in addition to going for interceptions while here, he might have stuck around longer. A GM's job is to draft players that contribute to their team, not other teams. The only exception that I make to that distinction is when players are stolen off of the practice squad. Hawk and Raji are solid players. Contrary to many here, I don't give weight to draft position. If Hawk or Raji were 7th round picks many of you would be calling them gems. In the end, who really cares? The team spends $*** every season and they draft 6-9 players. If you can get 50% of them to be reliable players with a few studs...who cares where they came from? I liken it to college graduates entering the work world. The school you attended gets your foot in the door, but nobody gives a hoot afterwards about where you got your degree. It's all about performance after that. Sherrod is on the edge of bust status. I didn't mark Harrell a bust until he was released in 2011. There are players that suffer injuries early in their careers and then rebound. Again, no points scored for jumping to conclusions.
