[QUOTE="sschind, post: 880833, member: 10247"] So you are saying that had Gute taken every single player you wanted in the draft it would have been a successful draft without them even playing a single game? To me a successful draft is determined by how the players perform on the field and ideally after several seasons of playing at a relatively high contributive level. As far as team building goes you also have to look into the future, although maybe not as far, to see how the picks contribute to the team as it unfolds. You have to look at how the picks fit to build the team the coaches and GM want to build and not how they fit teams of the past or even the team that you want to see. I think it is clear that the bosses want to build a team that is focused more on power running and less on a wide open passing attack. To that end the type of players selected, if not the actual players themselves, seem to fit that goal. It may not seem so obvious with Love but I think a franchise QB is a different animal. Given the importance of a franchise QB, if that guy is available I think you can be forgiven if you look 2 or 3 years down the road. Gute thinks Love has a very good chance to become the Packers next franchise QB and if it takes him a few years to become one it certainly won't mean the pick was a failure just because he didn't contribute immediately. I think the only way you can truly evaluate a draft before they even play a game is by looking at how the players selected fit the plan for the teams future and since that plan seems to be evolving rather quickly we really don't know how it will turn out.
