[QUOTE="Lare, post: 221620, member: 114"] While I recognize the benefits of the "trade down" theory of drafting in order to add depth to a rebuilding team, I don't see that it's very effective in getting teams to the upper level of performance in the NFL unless the GM is extremely good, or extremely lucky. The bottom line is that every time you trade down you dilute the talent even farther as TT's success rate indicates. Of the 17 players he's drafted in rounds later than the 4th, he's gotten 3 starters (Jolly, Hall & Crosby), two of which are rotational starters. And simple math will tell you that when you bring in 10-11 new players in the draft every year, at some point you're just replacing the people with the same talent you brought in the year or two before with people with less experience. There is no one right way or wrong way to improving a team, as long as you make good talent decisions. And doing so is indicated on the field of play. Quality generally is more successful than quantity, so TT's abilities as a talent evaluator should be more apparent in the coming years. [/QUOTE]
