[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 744768, member: 9033"] Hayward was pretty darn good when healthy here. Hyde has improved as a starter at safety in Buffalo but you think the Packers should have benched Burnett or Dix for Hyde? The issue for Hyde in Green Bay was that the team already had competent safeties (at least Dix looked like he might be competent last year). The issue with Hayward was that the front office misjudged what he would get paid, I still think it was a complete joke that the team let him walk for $5m per year, that's on Thompson, not Capers. Capers isn't the best but he's far from the worst. Just look at the success he's had with Burnett, Shields, Daniels, Matthews, Woodson, etc. The problem on defense is that the team has wasted high round picks on defensive players that haven't lived up to the billing. First round defensive players should be elite at their positions. In the last six drafts Thompson looks to have wasted that on Jones and Randall and Perry, while good now, is injury prone and was not good for the majority of his rookie deal meaning that he was effectively an "at-market" price free agent signing. Clinton Dix looked like he might be a good pick last year but this year he's regressed so much that it's no longer a certain thing that he'll be worth that first round pick. Those misses in the first round build up. That's not even accounting for the misses on guys like Worthy, Thornton, Rollins, and Fackrell in the second and third rounds. Those gems on the offensive side of the ball might not be as gem-like without Rodgers under center. The QB is the only position in all of football that can single-handedly raise the performance of every other player on one side of the ball. That kind of impact doesn't exist on the defensive side of the ball. recent history has shown that the front office talent drain has robbed the packers of their edge in drafting. [/QUOTE]
