[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 869386"] Nice detail, Dante. It pretty much confirms my general impression that these teams have all taken a step backward, Detroit less pronounced than the others but they're starting from a lower base line, injuries not withstanding. The Packers probably also score a net negative because of Bulaga's departure, but not as extreme as Chicago and Minnesota. For a couple of teams that have predicated winning on defense, they shed a lot of contributors without offsetting adds. We have to consider draft capital for plugging holes. Diggs, for example, is a large loss in production (if not peace in the kingdown), but they got a first rounder for him that goes into the "add" pile. So, here are the 1st. - 5th. round picks where hole plugs are most likely to come. This is from 3 days ago, so comments on any recent pick trades are welcome: [B]Minnesota:[/B] R1, #22 R1, #25 R2, #58 R3, #89 R3, #105 R4, #132 R5, #155 That's a nice load of top 105 picks to refresh the defense and a lot of rookies to have to count on if they concentrate the draft on that one side of the ball. [B]Chicago: [/B] R2, #43 R2, #50 R5, #163 They're still paying for the Mack trade and other moves with deficient draft ammo piled on top of some questionable FA signings. I don't think anybody knows what these guys are trying to do. [B]Detroit: [/B] R1, #3 R2, #35 R3, #67 R3, #85 R4, #109 R5, #149 R5, #166 R5, #172 A very good haul, primarily by virtue of a bad record. Now, they did go into December having accumulated over 20 injured players in various statuses. When you get down to Tra Carson as your emergency starter, to take one example, and then [I]he[/I] gets injured, that's one indication you are in trouble and its getting worse. Still, climbing out of 3-13 is a long haul and it looks more like a rebuild than any major flip. [B]Packers: [/B] This is well know by now, but worth a comparison recap. R1, #30 R2, #62 R3, #94 R4, #136 R5, #175 OK, that's what we get for a 13-3 record, sufficient to do what needs to be done. It just comes down to player selection, getting 3 players for the right spots out of the deal. [/QUOTE]
