[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 723233, member: 7261"] I would agree with the injury part effecting the ultimate valuation, but in regards to Hasselbeck, that is kind of a "special case" that stretches an evaluation of a drafted player after he has left Green Bay to fit your point. Yes, he was a good draft pick for the Packers, but really only based on what they ended up getting for him in the trade on his departure. Had he been outright released, I would say he provided the Packers value, but only that of being a "capable backup" that never saw the field. Again, I think Hasselbeck is an exception to the rule, due to being a QB that never got on the field, as well as having value in a trade. Kyrhi Thornton on the other hand deserves an F, he provided nothing while a Packer and was released. I don't care if he all of a sudden is a Pro Bowl player for the Lions, he stays a "Draft F" for me, based on what the Packers got from him from start to finish. Having a guy you draft that has little success for you, but success elsewhere, I liken to running a business. You go out spend money recruiting, hiring and training an employee, but because he way under performs (for whatever reasons), you eventually fire him. Well if that guy lands on his feet and is productive for your competitor, you kind of lost twice on him. I'm not going back to my recruiters and say "well look at Joe over at Acme, he is doing great, we really were smart for hiring him and spending our resources to make him what he is today." [/QUOTE]
