Throwing every dart at the DB board has been working so well. I think it has more to do with being aggressively angry than questioning the picks.

buckyMBA Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 The brown have drafted plenty of Brian Brohms over the years. The draft is my favorite time of the year because ball watchers become scouts. However the scout look at 1-2 sites the a few bloggers give their subjective analysis. I wish more fans trusted their elective officials. Our GM is killing it. My R code has been spot on, and I’ll publish my code after the draft. I’ve been a round off on my the forum draft contest but, I’d bet it will land near the top. Luck still usually wins out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone views James/Edmunds as a different tier. I don't expect them to. But I do know that picking for need has been proven to be a bad strategy. And I sure as heck am not going to believe the 2 BPA were corners when the Packers picks came up. Magically aligning with our most glaring weakness. Even if people choose to retain hope that maybe this time they'll get it right, using their first two picks on DBs in 3 of the last 4 years has left them aging and declining at every position but DL and ILB. And our ILBs aren't exactly world beaters. There is a very real upcoming price to be paid for using all this draft capital on DBs. That's what happens when you keep reaching for need. The only way to break the cycle is to stop doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILB would have been lol worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilltray Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 DL, ILB, S, OL and RB are all fine. CB has been an issue but the only areas suffering are OLB and WR/TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my reaction has more to do with people aggressively participating in group-think and believing every year that all of these guys are great picks. More often than not, they're bad picks. To direct so much angst at someone who casts doubt is cult-like. The clues are there that the Packers this year continued a near decade long trend of drafting for need and if it wasn't for a HOF QB the team would've bottomed out by now because of it.

spilltray Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 It is possible for a team to make a good pick at draft time AND that pick not work out. It happens often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been buried more than once by differing opinion, but you have to bring something to the table other than ignoring the salary cap and make trades for starters. Searching the local YMCA would have been a better answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaitWhat Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Packers draft damn good players at a position of need. Guy that thinks this is Madden and FREE AGENTZS has a meltdown because there is a chance they are a bust, exactly like every other guy drafted before these two. Is this Journal Sentinel Online’s comments section? Embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To pretend you’re smarter than everyone else and pump your chest with absolutely no facts or supported arguments is the problem. Nothing more, nothing less. Most picks bust. I’m pretty sure every fan on the planet knows that. Not sure what you’re even getting at there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's well known that most draft picks don't pan out as hoped. 50% of 1st rounders alone are busts. If you don't know that, go back under your rock.
