[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 1028214, member: 12283"] I don't think I really agree with a number of your names here. The pass rushers definitely fit the criteria-- they didn't [I]need [/I]an edge in either case, but they took one. Clearly Gute really values the position. You could say the same thing about QB-- taking a good one when they had the chance. I wouldn't call the rest of them luxury picks. Jenkins started almost the entire season as a rookie. They clearly really needed him. When they took Dillon, both Jones and Williams were entering a contract year. It's pretty common for a GM to take a replacement a year early. Similarly, Myers was drafted when Lucas Patrick was a year away from FA. Tom was taken during a stretch of the draft where you're not really drafting for need anyways. Kraft had a huge role available to him immediately. It's not like Deguara or Davis are the quality of players who will block talent. So I would say that the Packers could end up taking a player they don't need immediately, but I don't think it's been as common as you're suggesting. [/QUOTE]
