[QUOTE="TJV, post: 607426, member: 4300"] Listing the rounds the players were drafted would lend some perspective IMO, but the point stands. If there were one position group Thompson would have been far better off emphasizing UFA, IMO it’s DL. Regarding OL, I wonder how much different his draft record would be without the introduction of the ZBS. One of its so called advantages is the ability to stock the OL with less than elite players and therefore not having to spend early draft picks. Also IMO losing both starting OGs when he first arrived was beyond Thompson's control: Mike Wahle's contract had a huge balloon payment due and it would have been a mistake to keep OG Rivera for the price Dallas paid him. Anyway, I agree with Carl, the Packers OL is now a very good one – “reasonably decent” is an understatement IMO. The other caveat regarding both groups is to some extent Thompson is the victim of the Packers’ success: His average pick in the first round going into 10 drafts (before trades) is between 21 and 22, not counting #30 in the upcoming draft.
