[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 875930, member: 10086"] And if I may further that sentiment.. although most of us would’ve liked to see “our” choice.. the reality is that even a #26 type selection likely isn’t going to change the entire dynamics of a team. Not in their rookie season and likely not ever. So this interpretation that GB is “doomed” because of that move at QB is a largely unrealistic. Not that we advocate wasting selections either, but expecting a game changer late in round 1 is just plain unrealistic and whoever thinks that guy there just before round 3 opens is kidding himself. About the only player we’ve seen in recent history that’s a late day 1 success is Kenny Clark and the chance of lightning striking twice is lower. Most of our 20-something overall draft selections are either not living up to expectations or no longer even playing in GB because they sucked. Teams that are successful in the draft normally get anticipated long term production of at least 3-4 players to make a draft considered a success. This rating drafts with a letter grade before they’ve ever stepped on the Pro field is like prophecy and very few get it right. Jonathan Franklin was supposedly one of our better selections value wise.. how did that work out? The void left by “no guarantees” in this game is filled with varying opinions of all kinds. Opinions in this particular generation have become a socially acceptable new fad.. everyone thinks there’s matters more than the next and we’re supposed to pet everyone’s ego so they don’t get hurt feelings. Then.. after history plays itself out.. between zero and near none are worth a squatting poop. :x3: [/QUOTE]
