[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 1034141, member: 5830"] Yes - I have all of the info about what they gave up each time. I didn't want to get into that level of detail. All in all after reviewing my draft records, I never saw a glaring instance where we gave up the farm to get someone - i.e. we didn't go all Mike Ditka to get one running back. The Packers have made reasonable trades to move up each time. The real question is about the end justifying the means. I don't think that either GM knocked it out of the park for the most part. Even if I split the difference with tynimiller (granting one more success) that would mean 6 out of 14 move-ups were a success. Even if it was 7 of 14 that is still only 50%. We should be striving for 50% in the draft without moving up. Assuming each move-up cost at least two bundled, lower picks means that there were potentially 28 (14 x 2) draft picks that we could have exercised. If we hit on even 40% of those draft picks we would have gotten 11 successful players out of it instead of 6 or 7. Generally, moving up has not been a successful venture for the Packers. [/QUOTE]
