[QUOTE="Heyjoe4, post: 873999, member: 13032"] I think this is the best explanation I’ve heard of the draft, so thanks Mondio. Some are saying the draft didn’t address immediate needs. But I can see a world where the 2nd round pick (RB) and 3rd round pick (TE/HB) CAN make an immediate impact. Like it or not, this is MLF’s team and a GM’s job is to get his head coach players to execute the plan. GB now has three very high-quality RBs, and I expect in year two we’re finally going to see something MM wouldn’t do - use the running game to set up the passing game. This may not result in many highlight reel throws way downfield - but guess what - those plays rarely are difference makers in a game. Now, Rodgers may not like a role where he’s managing a game of run first to set up RPO/jet sweep. Those schemes rarely result in highlight reel stuff. But what this does allow is for the O to stay on the field longer, creating sustained and productive drives. Maybe I’m looking at this through rose-colored glasses. I’m still willing to give Gluten and MLF the benefit of the doubt (this is only year 2 of the MLF era). A lot of people have lauded the Cowboys draft, especially CeeDee Lamb at #17. And they have Zeke. But knowing MM, the Cowboys will be a pass-heavy team, and really, I like the Gluten/MLF approach better. I may be putting lipstick on a pig here, and I’m only focusing on rounds 2 and 3. As for taking Love after trading up, I don’t know why that couldn’t have waited another year. But it’s probably safe to say that none of us have looked at as much film of Love as Gluten and the rest of the scouts/coaches. It’s a calculated risk. I don’t get it, but I don’t have to. Very few would question we’re in “win now” mode while we have #12. On the surface, the draft doesn’t support that. But we may be looking at it from the wrong angle. [/QUOTE]
