I also think you’re paying too close attention to talking head armchair GM’s who have a public platform who have been proclaimed “draft experts”. These so-called draft experts are not professional talent scouts. They have no accountability for what spews out of there mouths and keyboards.Luck is where opportunity meets sound preparation and disciplined decision making when it comes to the draft.I know people think we were lucky to get Rodgers at pick 24 in 2005. There is a direct correlation between poorly managed franchises and those that perpetually pick early in every round of just about every draft. I think fans would be better informed by putting more stock in successful franchises roster decisions than what the so-called experts say.I find it interesting that Mike Mayock went from “expert” to GM as he is one guy that seemed to have the pulse of Ted Thompson when no one else did. I’d like to know more about his story and think he merits watching in the future.</blockquote>
