Message: <blockquote data-quote="Don Barclay" data-source="post: 921085" data-attributes="member: 12032">I'll take this on, with the caveat that I agree w/tynimiller that either position is totally reasonable.  The scouts' job is to identify and promote players that they believe can succeed in the NFL as a whole, and in the Packers' systems specifically.  If those scouts do their job, players arrive who could grow and thrive on the Packers.  If the development or use of those players is stunted by inadequate coaching or usage, then those players don't become who we want, and in some cases may develop or thrive elsewhere.  For instance, I believe that the ascent of Hayward and Hyde elsewhere indicates there were deficiencies with the Joe Whitt/Dom Capers axis of coaching and development, which may be borne out by the fact that HHCD, Josh Jones, and Damarious Randall have all had DB careers after their departure from the Packers.Not saying this is an absolute or a black-and-white answer in any case -- but hopefully it might illustrate how the acquisition of players in the draft could be considered successful, and the responsibility for them washing out in GB could lie instead at the feet of a coaching staff/coordinator.</blockquote>
