[QUOTE="easyk83, post: 644489, member: 8895"] Consider that talent, Aaron Rodger was drafted in 05, Nelson in 08, Matthews in 09, Shields and Williams were acquired prior to the 2010 campaign. Yes that team was plenty talented players, but most of it had been with the team 4 years or more. My point is that we had soft drafts in 12 and 13 and 11 wasn't exactly outstanding. Furthermore the misses were not at positions brimming with talent. Thus far Datone Jones Nick Perry Derek Sherrod Casey Hayward and a number of others picked in those years played at positions of need but never turned into plus players despite ample available playing time. On the positive I think the young guys we've picked up in the last couple of years will elevate the team but we need to avoid stretches like 11-13 if we're going to win a Super Bowl in the near future. I suspect that that soft period had to do with Eliot Wolf's maturation as Director of Player Personnel. As he has gained experience at his position the drafts have improved. Oh also I think there was a bit of a change in philosophy in terms of drafting. During the buildup to the Super Bowl team of 2010 TT tended to focus more on physically talented high upside types like Rodgers Collins Matthews Finley and Nelson. Post Super Bowl the team seemed more focused on NFL ready high college production players like Mike Daniels Casey Hayward etc. While Daniels turned into a stud for us a lot of the other guys failed to become more than JaGs for us.
