[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 538644, member: 2232"] Great post. Factual. Remember when Rodgers was out, and we went from hanging on... to losing... to disgusting.... to looking like one of the worst 5 or 3 teams in the NFL? And people saying wow "Rodgers sure covered up a lot of issues on that team". A)Now, the one tiny issue, tiny, detail was Nick Collins was a star. Not just a solid pro-bowler, but a star. He was greatness. B) Look at that group. Hawk was a #5 overall pick when there were more talented speciments in that draft available. That (#5 overall) is a premium pick, the highest one we've had since Mandarich and T Buck back in 89 & 92. You can do worse though at #5. C) That is correct. Ted's drafting is better than average, but not by much. Seriously, tale away Rodgers, and I bet Ted's been fired long by now. Don't forget these 2 DB picks: [B]Jerron McMillian[/B] in the third round (he didn't even make your list even though he hurt us for now 2 seasons and was already released). He was rated a consensus 6-7/UFA guy when Teddy reached up ant took the no-name from Maine. And also [B]Davon House[/B], the CB from New Mexico State. Ted took him. A few picks later, his former protege John Schneider got the CB he wanted, from Stanford: [B]Richard Sherman[/B]. Now he's considered the BEST CB in the NFL. Do we have anyone on our team from Stanford? Again, nobody is perfect in the draft. But since Ted relies on that draft by far more than anyone else, he HAS to be better than everyone else. Has to. Cannot just rely on Rodgers. [/QUOTE]
