[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 899975, member: 7261"] People trying to attach any Since I have been pretty vocal about this and even at one time posted an accumulated look at the draft and Free agent resources used on WR in the last 15 or so years, I figured I would weigh in. There is no doubt that the Packers have not used much of their draft resources on the position since Rodgers was drafted. Pointing out that Zero first round picks since 2002 (Javon Walker) has been invested in the position, is just emphasizing that fact. Yes, the Packers had a great run of success with 2nd round picks (Jennings, Nelson, Cobb, Adams), so they really didn't need to invest a #1 pick. However, all but one of those players have moved on and the front office hasn't made much of an effort to replace any of them. Why? My best guess is because of Aaron Rodgers. He is able to do a lot more with lesser talent around him, than most QB's. I actually think this will be strongly remembered after he retires, in a good and a bad way. Many have posed the questioned "What could Rodgers do with more talent at WR?" People jumping up and saying "The Packers had the best offense in the NFL this year, what else do you want?" Well, those people are circumventing the discussion and trying to say that the offense couldn't be better with more weapons. I would disagree and ask those people to imagine Rodgers with more weapons. Ask them if they think the NFCCG would have had the same results had AR had 1 or 2 better receiving options? I don't really care if the Packers spent 4 first round picks or 20 5th, 6th and 7th round picks on WR's since Rodgers was drafted. It's all about results and I think both TT and Gute allowed and relied upon Rodgers abundance of talent to cover up the deficiencies the Packers have had at the position for too long. [/QUOTE]
