[QUOTE="porky88, post: 115150, member: 489"] In response to the post above. Havel has a lot of creditability considering he asked some of the Packers scouts themselves and they confirmed it for him. I believe an article was written a while back. It's actually well known that this is what happened. I even think Sherman had said something about while he was the current GM. The guys I listed aren't playmakers though? Ben Watson, Karlos Dansby, Bob Sanders (would be real nice right now) Chris Gamble, Julius Jones, and Kevin Jones. All those guys have been playmakers on their teams and in 3 players case (Watson, Jones, and Jones) this is the year they're stepping up big. Also consider where we drafted. When you pick #10 your options are always going to be better than the players in the 20's. With that said there is no excuse for having more than 2/3's of your players drafted out of the NFL before their 5th year. The 2001 Draft was awful, yes but the Drafts before that were great. Wolf was brilliant and had one bad Draft. That happens to the best of them and more often than most would expect. He won't be remembered for that though. He'll be remembered for the Super Bowl years and those Drafts.
