[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 880850, member: 9033"] As to your first point above, that's ridiculous and, as I'm sure you know, nothing even close to what I said. My issue was drafting a rookie QB who won't add much to the team for 75% of his rookie contract and then following that up with a one-dimensional power back who has a HUGE amount of usage on his feet already. Team building involves understanding the cap; it's FAR cheaper to sign a free agent RB than it is to sign a free agent CB, WR, OLB, OT, DE, DT, etc. So why use a 2nd round pick on a cheap position when the team has holes at far more expensive positions? Anyone that says Dillon was by far the best player at that pick is just being silly. You can't just look at fit because you also have to look at the cost for that fit. Right now the Packers will probably have to rely on unproven corners next year, re-sign King to a big deal, or sign a free agent corner. Corners are much harder to find than running backs. Drafting a corner in the 2nd would have been a smarter move considering the value a good corner has in the NFL over the value a good RB has in the NFL. The same is true for the Packers at WR, OT, DE, and DT. [/QUOTE]
