[QUOTE="longtimefan, post: 103041, member: 145"] This is also from that article.. The Pack are in decline because of poor drafts in the early 2000s (coupled with the "keep your own at any cost" mentality - Cletidus Hunt was the best example). These picks should be the core of the team right now...players in their primes. Instead, we have to start 30-somethings and 1st/2nd year players. Unless TT was supposed to have been drafting FOR Sherman, I think the blame lies elsewhere. Everyone complains because we're starting all these young TT draft picks...but don't want to acknowledge that MS's picks (Joey Thomas, Donnell Washington, Kenny Peterson, James Lee, Brennan Curtin, Marquez Anderson, Bahwoh Jue) aren't even on the team anymore. These players should be the heart and sole of the Packers team right now! There's nothing that TT could do to make these guys players...some people just don't have it (even Vince Lombardi cut players). You judge a GM by what happens 3 years afterwards, and these failures lie solely on the record of Mike Sherman. Breakdown of Mike Sherman's Drafts: 2002 - 1 Player of 6 drafted is still on the team. Kampman is a starter 2003 - 1 Player of 9 drafted is still on the team. Barnett is a starter 2004 - 3 players of 6 drafted are still on the team. Wells is only starter. To summarize: 5 players out of 21 draft picks (many were traded up for, with multiple picks being invested in each player) are still on the team. Only 3 are starters. If you'd like, we can include 2001 (where Ron Wolf deferred to Sherman, offering advice but letting Sherman make the final say) 2 players on team out of 6 picks. No starters. 4 years of drafting, only 3 starters. This team was broken before Ted Thompson ever walked into 1265. Oh, and about the 0-2 start. Everyone is yearning for the days of Mike Sherman? Sherman AND Holmgren started their GB careers with 2 straight losses (check it out online). Let's not jump ship or mutiny just yet. [/QUOTE]
