[QUOTE="porky88, post: 103062, member: 489"] I'll dispute this easily. Majority of Shermans draft picks aren't in the NFL right now. Now I'm not saying anything about Ted Thompson and his players. So far not so good in my opinion but I'm willing to wait and give him the amount of time Sherman received. I'm not talking Ted Thompson up in this post so let’s leave him out of this and just analyze Mike Sherman quick. I'm looking at Sherman's players and trying to think how you can give all that credit to his poor drafting, poor management of salary, and poor job of signing quality free agents (much like Ted Thompson as of now) With Sherman, I'm sorry but he was a poor GM. Thank Ron Wolf for the past 5 years as it was the talent he discovered that got the job done and has last since he's retired. When it came time for those picks by Ron Wolf to cash in, Green Bay just didn't pay them. They couldn't afford all those guys [b]and[/b] they probably didn't want to bring some back. Chad Clifton, Mark Tauscher, Nail Diggs, KGB, Mike Wahle, Mike Flannigan, Marco Rivera, Bubba Franks, Darren Shaper, Mike McKenzie, William Henderson, Donald Driver. All of the above were drafted by Ron Wolf and made up the core of the team we've had prior to really last season. I may of missed some but those were your "key" guys and all started. Wolf also traded for our 2 best players throughout the Sherman era. Ahman Green and Brett Favre. So again Ron Wolf’s moves in the past is what made that era as successful it was. Not Sherman’s drafting for ability to find quality free agents. In fact unless you want to count Hannibal Navies and Mark Roman as “quality†[/QUOTE]
