Message: <blockquote data-quote="TJV" data-source="post: 498024" data-attributes="member: 4300">All of this paragraph is stating the obvious IMO so I’ll only type it once: Every GM and staff have successes and failures in the draft but overall Thompson and his staff are viewed by many as being successful vs. their peers in the NFL in conducting a draft. Thompson is much more knowledgeable and experienced than you are regarding the NFL draft. The chance he is correct regarding a particular draft decision is much much greater than you being correct. Actually with regard to whether Tretter would have been available later in the draft no, we won't know how this turns out. For example the fact that Ryan Leaf turned out to be a bust doesn’t mean picking him second in the 1998 draft was a reach. The issue is how the other teams in the league view that player’s value on draft day. And that is very difficult for fans to know. Whether Tretter turns out to be an all pro or a bust or something in between is very important to the Packers, but it is irrelevant to this discussion.   And with that I’ve said all I have to say on the issue of whether or not Tretter was a reach. You can have the last word if you want it. </blockquote>
