[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 489708, member: 5830"] I don't know where you draw this conclusion from, but it's not backed up by facts. I don't know what you consider great, but let's just use Ron Wolf as an example. TT has drafted better than Wolf in all of the first four rounds, but Wolf drafted slightly better in the 5th and 6th rounds. Here is a quick example. In the first round here are the picks: [U][B]Wolf's 1st Round Successes[/B][/U]: Wayne Simmons George Teague Aaron Taylor Craig Newsom Ross Verba Vonnie Holiday Bubba Franks [U][B]Wolf's 1st Round Busts[/B][/U]: Terrell Buckley John Michels Antoine Edwards Jamal Reynolds [U][B]Thompson's 1st Round Successes[/B][/U]:* Aaron Rodgers AJ Hawk BJ Raji Clay Mathews Bryan Bulaga [U][B]Thompson[/B][B]'s 1st Round Busts[/B][/U]:* Justin Harrell * It isn't prudent to include the last two drafts, as because there is not enough evidence to support a conclusion either way. [B]Wolf's 1st Round Success Rate = 64% (7/11)[/B] [B]Thompson's 1st Round Success Rate = 83% (5/6)[/B] [U][B]Wolf's 2nd Round Successes[/B][/U]: Darren Sharper - DB Mike Wahle - OL Chad Clifton - OL Robert Ferguson - WR (debatable) [U][B]Wolf's 2nd Round Busts[/B][/U]: Mark D'Onofrio - LB Derrick Mayes - WR Fred Vinson - CB [U][B]Thompson's 2nd Round Successes[/B][/U]: Nick Collins - S Daryn Colledge - OL Greg Jennings - WR Brandon Jackson - RB Jordy Nelson - WR [U][B]Thompson[/B][B]'s 2nd Round Busts[/B][/U]: Terrence Murphy - WR Brian Brohn - QB Pat Lee - CB 2010 pick Mike Neal excluded, due to multiple injuries. Would have been considered a bust but finally started to contribute in 2013. Status unknown. Surely you could include Randall Cobb at this point, but I'm holding the line on including anyone from the previous two drafts. [B]Wolf's 1st Round Success Rate = 57% (4/7)[/B] [B]Thompson's 1st Round Success Rate = 75% (6/8)[/B] I admit that the rating of a "success" or "bust" is subjective but in general are on target. You'll never please everyone, but I generally go with whether a player was a solid contributor to the team, regardless of draft position. I view it as you get seven picks in each draft and the goal is to draft 7 contributors. You will spend the same amount of money no matter which picks perform and don't perform (draft position), so the goal is quantity of successes. [/QUOTE]
