[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 710235"] As for Walden, he was a decent player with the Packers to start with, not some bum who emerged elsewhere. He probably would have remained a Packer had he been a Thompson draftee and/or Indy had not thrown at him what was a bunch of money at the time. Still, it took 4 years and a new DC before Walden had a career year in his 9th. season, kinda like waiting around for 4 1/2 yeas before Perry showing some emergence. Like Randall at CB instead of S, Perry was a misfit toy at 3-4 ILB instead of 4-3 DE. But the talent was/is there. While these are speculative picks in the position change equation, it takes our erstwhile DC years to get the talent out of them, more lumps taken in the learning process than should be reasonably expected. If you give Capers a starting point of Charles Woodson, oh yeah, that works, and not in small part because he's out there freelancing against the scheme! [/QUOTE]
