[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 707816, member: 12283"] The initial discussion was regarding Thompson's ability to find talent after the first round. I posited that he's one of the better GM's in the league at finding good players outside of round 1, and that was challenged. So I compiled those lists as one small illustration of my point, encouraging others to look at the bigger picture as they had time. Therefore, including a 1st round pick (even one that was obtained by trading lower picks) makes no sense. You don't get an indication at how a GM/FO does at finding talent outside of round 1 by looking at players picked [I]inside [/I]of round one. The Vikings didn't "find a first round talent" in the 2nd or 4th round. They traded back into the first round and took a player there. You may think it was a good move, and you may be right, but it's also irrelevant to the point that I was making. If you'd like to make a different point, please feel free. [/QUOTE]
