[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 874695, member: 7261"] Of course draft picks are hit or miss and that was part of my point. I am not going to collect the data for you, but look up the statistics comparing the round that a player was chosen in and his success in the NFL. I think that you will find round 1 picks have a higher rate of success than a round #4 pick. Also, you might find that the earlier a player is chosen in a round, especially in the early rounds, the probability of him making it are higher than the back half of that same round. Would you rather have 4 picks in the first 3 rounds or 8 picks in the last 2 rounds? So yes picks are valuable, but so is positioning in the early rounds. I think if Gute had traded up and grabbed Patrick Queen instead of Love, people would be hailing this as a brilliant move. Those who don't like the pick are just throwing in "Gute should have never picked Love and he lost our 4th round pick in the process". Quite honestly, if you look at the draft value trade chart, it was a brilliant trade for the Packers just by the numbers alone. Throw in the fact that they got the exact guy that they wanted and merely gave up a pick near the end of the 4th round, solid move by Gute. [/QUOTE]
