[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 547290, member: 2846"] That is the economics of the situation that some fans don't get. We have a finite resource ($) and the objective is to get the most talent on the field. Signing guys because you have money and they represent a talent upgrade is fine in of itself. However, you have to look at the entire picture. You have to weigh all starting positions and the money available to invest there. If they could do it over again, would the Bears have signed Peppers? Doubtful. Another aspect of Peppers, he loses interest quickly. Bears suffer a bit of adversity, and he quits. How has that attitude affected the overall performance and development of young players? Of course we will never know, but I think it may be significant. What does Hyde's draft position mean when figuring out if he will be a good safety? If last years draft was reheld today, I think Hyde is going in the 1st round. Does that mean he will be better at safety? Hyde has all the tools. He is tough, likes to tackle, has good cover skills, has a high football IQ, and is surprisingly quick. Why don't you think he will be successful at Safety? Here is my thinking. I know many are down on Burnett, and I was rather disappointed with his play as well. I am not sure what happened. When he came back from injury, he played very good for 2 or 3 games and then he trailed off. So, I have not given up on him. Jennings was awful. The other guy we cut was even worse. I am sure the poor performance by Burnett was in part due to his trying to compensate for the inadequacies playing alongside of him. Hyde can be a good S. And we also have Sean Richardson who has great size and tremendous athletic skills. He was set back by injury (Damn I am getting sick of writing that when talking about Packer players) and is getting a full offseason to work. He is just a classic boom/bust type who still has a chance to prove himself. There are two safeties in the draft who will be immediate impact players for us, HaHa and Pryor. I don't think we will have a chance at HaHa and I think there will be better options than Pryor at our pick. In the 2nd and 3rd, there will be a bunch of options for us. These are guys who will be immediate upgrades, but will take a season or two before they develop (hopefully) into impact players. Bucannon, Dowling, and Ward in the 2nd.
