[QUOTE="porky88, post: 143952, member: 489"] So I’m ignorant because of my opinion. Even though it’s backed up with facts. Whine about it all you want but don’t deny the fact that this decade teams have succeeded by building through the NFL Draft and building from talent within. Whether the Packers are successful as the Ravens, Colts, Patriots, Buccaneers, and Steelers is yet to be determine. My guess right now is no because while you have to build through the Draft you still need to fine quality players in free agency as well. I think it‘s more so 75 to 25. Time is running out in my opinion. I’ve said on the board before you build the core of your team through the Draft and when the time comes to strike, you hit it big in free agency. To me that’s what New England is doing. With the NFC up for grabs I would of liked to of seen GB make two or three key signings or some sort of trade. I’m holding out hope that Moss gets cut the Packers do try and land him. I don’t feel good about the possibility but I’m not ignorant enough to say it’s not going to happen either especially if Oakland does take Calvin Johnson. I am not saying you do everything through the Draft but I think you get started with the Draft and you build your foundation that way. You keep arguing as if free agency is the foundation of the NFL. You can chase that ghost with Dan Snyder if you want. Ted Thompson and the Packers Front Office is not doing anything out of the ordinary. In fact his plan is very simple and is pretty much a copy of the recent Super Bowl teams. It’s whether or not he is as successful as some of the other teams that will define him. Currently I’m not in the boat but I’m not drowning in the ocean either. I think he's going about this the right way. He needs to get the right players though to be successful. [/QUOTE]
