[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 283196, member: 2232"] You know what I am talking about here, but you want to argue just for the sake of arguing, which is fine, no worries mate. I am talking about ways of assembling a roster. As everyone in the NFL Community knows, Ted Thompson lives & dies by the NFL Draft moreso than any other GM. We saw many other GMs and scouts and pundits say as much back in April. Ted's pretty good in the draft. We have Rodgers, Jennings, Collins, Sitton, Matthews, Raji, Jones, Jordyzz, Mason Crosby, Colledge, Spitz, Lang, etc. all to thank here. Then Ted has made a nice trade to acquire Ryan Grant. He also utilized free agency to acquire Charles Woodson, Ryan Pickett, and Brandon Chillar. He also added free agents like Frank Walker, who I thought was a decent addition, and who has stuck with the Ravens after we let him go. Some would say he's not aggressive enough in free agency, which is what the original article states and I believe what LeRoy Butler mentioned. Ted prefers to build through the draft, which is a pretty good idea (and sometimes that means re-signing the current players before or after their original contract expires, which sometimes technically means they were considered "free agents" for a limited duration of time. He just needs to fill a hole or two via U or R free agency, as Ron Wolf did. This is pointed out in the original article. I tend to concur with that sentiment. I think most knowledgable Packer fans agree with that. Many, however, just give TT the benefit of the doubt because he is the GM. The problem is I have seen many GMs and many corporate CEO's lead their company/team to mediocrity, or to failure, yet their followers just marched to the man's drumroll along the way, assuming he knows best because he is, afterall, the man in charge.
