[QUOTE="BorderRivals.com, post: 489604, member: 6416"] Agreed. And the thing with SF that gets lost is they have built their team with a ton of high first-round draft picks. They've been bad for so long, and then once they hired Harbaugh, things finally changed. But, by that time, they've accumulated top-end talent through year-after-year top draft choices: 3 of their OL, Alex Smith (whatever that's worth), Crabtree, VD, Aldon Smith, and Patrick Willis. Admittedly, they've also hit on some later picks like Bowman, Goldshon (sp?), and in free agency with J. Smith, Rogers, and the DB from Buff. (whose name I'm drawing a blank on). Long story longer, they've been in a position to get good for a while and are just now reaping the benefits. On the flip side, Packers have had only a few top-end draft picks, consistently picking in the later stages of the draft, and have still built a very good team top-to-bottom. For that, I give the edge to TT. I'm also glad no one has fallen for the trap of claiming Belichek should be up there. He's ruined the last half of Brady's career by countless whiffs in drafting a secondary. Not to mention that TT trade-***** him last year when TT moved up to get Hayward! [/QUOTE]
