[QUOTE="elcid, post: 873343, member: 12360"] You can name all the players you want that were successful and that were drafted earlier than people expected, and for each one I can counter a player that was considered to be a reach and also turned out to be one. Sure I get it, us petty fans and pundits will never understand the complexities and nuances that are needed to be a successful GM. And sure, it is not a given that prospects which are deemed first rounders will be actual stars. But there definitely is some truth to be found in the average of a multitude of pundit opinions (and fans copy these opinions), making the consensus higher ranked prospects in general safer. It's why the market beats out the individual investor, every time. Also, I am not arguing with you on Dillon. All though I find spending a 2nd rounder on a RB is a luxury we can't afford right now, I have been saying for the past 2 years that a good 1-2 punch at RB will probably do wonders for Arod/our offense. But the other 2 selections have simply been mindboggling, especially since we have so many other needs. A stagnant passing offense and leaking run defense come to mind. Or did Gute forget what happened vs the Niners twice this year? Therefore I come to the conclusion that this is the worst Packer draft I have seen in my years as a fan. I am hoping that Gute can prove me wrong on it, but as of right now I highly doubt it. [/QUOTE]
