[QUOTE="TJV, post: 600983, member: 4300"] I made this response to a similar post of yours: “[I]Thompson has done incredibly well when picking a WR in the first three rounds. In addition to Cobb (2nd), he’s picked Nelson (2nd), Jones (3rd), Jennings (2nd), and Terrence Murphy (2nd). The only “miss” in the group is Murphy and that’s only because of injury IMO: I think he was destined to be a very good WR. If Adams turns out into the WR I expect, that’ll be 6 good/very good WRs Thompson has found in the second and third rounds of 10 drafts. My point is there is reason for optimism when Thompson picks a WR in the first 3 rounds.[/I]” When you post “2009, 2010, and 2012 “nothing” I’m sure you aren’t criticizing Thompson’s “WR picks” in drafts he didn’t select one so I don’t know what the point of mentioning those years was. If you go back to the last nine drafts (eliminating 2005 for some reason) Thompson has picked 4 WRs in the second round and IMO hit on each and every one (I saw enough of Adams to include him). I also believe James Jones more than justified his draft status as a third rounder. So IMO the evidence is overwhelming that when Thompson picks a WR in the first three rounds of the draft there is reason for significant optimism. If you accept that it doesn’t make sense to criticize his WR picks when he doesn’t make them or when lower round WRs don’t work I’m not sure what your point is. Here’s a list of WRs drafted by Thompson and the round they were selected: 2005: [B]2nd [/B]Terence Murphy; 6th Craig Bragg 2006: [B]2nd [/B]Greg Jennings; 4th Cory Rodgers 2007: [B]3rd[/B] James Jones; 5th David Clowney 2008: [B]2nd [/B]Jordy Nelson; 7th Brett Swain 2009: None. 2010: None. 2011: [B]2nd [/B]Randall Cobb 2012: None. 2013: 7th Charles Johnson; 7th Kevin Dorsey 2014[B]: 2nd [/B]Davante Adams; 5th Jared Abbrederis; 7th Jeff Janis (BTW, I’ve strongly advocated retaining Cobb and Thompson’s success drafting WRs doesn’t change that.)
