TT came in 2005, and hit right away with Rodgers and Collins. 2006, TT was on a hot streak with Hawk, Colledge, Jennings, Spitz, Jolly, and even Abdul Hodge and Will Blackmon were solid. 2007, was pretty much James Jones and Crosby, with a little bit of Desomnd Bishop. 2008, Nelson, Jermichael Finley, and a serviceable Matt Flynn. 2009, (boom) Raji, Matthews, and Lang in that order. 2010, Bulaga, Mike Neal, Burnett, and Starks in later rounds. 2011...Cobb. 2012, Perry, Casey Hayward, and Mike Daniels. 2013, Lacy, Bakhtiari, and Micah Hyde. 2014, Ha-Ha, Adams, Richard Rogers, Corey Linsley, and Janis (Rogers and Janis notable for hail mary catches). 2015, Randall? Montgomery (ok), and Ripkowski.2016, Kenny Clark, Spriggs (we'll see), and Martinez (stepped it up). 2017, jury is still out, but I like Kevin King and Josh Jones. TT has been actually pretty good with his draft picks. My issue with TT is his inadjustments to the CBA of 2011. That CBA limited practices, essentially changing the way teams prepare for "battle". I always thought TT should try to get as much draft picks as possible to curb the injuries that would result because of limited practices. That subtle change drastically affected the NFL beginning six years ago and going forward. Players cannot hardened their bodies for the constant contact throughout a season. Similar to calluses on a MMA fighters shins, NFL players' bodies are not calibrated for punishment the way they were ten years ago. The new CBA following the Packer's championship was counter-intuitive to defending their championship during a brutal schedule, which directly followed winning that SB before the 2011 season began. TT's inability to adapt to the rules change by getting as many picks as possible (Patriots have mastered this), limits the Pack's ability to weather key injuries during a season. TT not using the cap space to aid in the limited number of draft picks, compounds the problem of keeping the machine rolling during the course of a season. This is the reason why I think a change should be made @ GM. Also, my two cents, Packers should switch to a 4-3 base, it fits their personnel.</blockquote>
