[QUOTE="TJV, post: 539320, member: 4300"] On the one hand: On the other hand: On the one hand: On the other hand: and in response to a 9ers fan: So draft picks have to an immediate impact but they don’t have to blossom immediately. When your GM doesn’t use free agency, you HAVE TO HIT your top picks, but if the Packers and 9ers injury situations were reversed the Packers would have been an 8 point favorite in the playoff game. Maybe the rest of us should let frank settle this among himself.:D Thompson’s philosophy of team building does not require immediate help from rookies. It requires a steady stream of help from [I]previous season’s[/I] rookies. That’s the crucial “develop” part of the draft and develop philosophy. As I posted in another thread, unless you define an immediate impact as being available on the bench in case a starter goes down, none of the draftees of 2010 helped immediately. The one draftee who looked like he could make an immediate impact, third rounder Burnett, started the first four games, got injured and was IR’d. Obviously not necessary for the title run. First rounder Bulaga made a great contribution but only ended up doing so because Tauscher started four games, got injured and was IR’d.
