[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 759600, member: 7261"] Rubley wasn't even a draft pick of the Packers. He was chosen in the 9th round by the Rams in 1992. Really you can't use this same comparison until the 1993 draft and beyond, since Favre wasn't a known quantity until 1992. So that eliminates Detmer. Brunell (1993) was taken in the 3rd round following Favre's becoming the starter. I don't think Wolf was looking for a starter, but a back up in Brunell. After that you have Wolf using late round picks on flyers and potential #2 QB's.(Barker, Wacholtz, McAda, Hasselbeck, Brooks, Nall). With Brooks and Hasselbeck playing well enough to get jobs elsewhere. I highly doubt at any point in time, besides maybe the Brunell pick (not 100% sold on Favre yet), was Wolf looking for Favre's replacement. People are talking about finding Rodgers replacement in this draft. I still don't see the need or the precedent by Wolf or other GM's to use a high pick on replacing a FHOF QB who could very well play for another 6+ years. If people are wanting to draft a QB to replace Hundley in 2019, I sort of understand that, but would prefer a FA for that task. [/QUOTE]
