Except for one thing, to be more accurate and fair about your claim, we need to look at just how many on your list of "successes" were picked at #136 or later? Let's look at your list:David Bakhtiari: #109Josh Sitton: #135T.J. Lang: #109J.C. Tretter: #122Brady Poppinga: #125Davon House: #131Mike Daniels: #132Blake Martinez: #131Hmmmmm.....absolutely none of these guys were selected with a #136 pick or later.  But I guess the Packers could have just traded up to get them?  Oh wait.....</blockquote>
