I think the thing that makes it worse is our overall draft ineptitude for a long time. Yes, Rodgers, would have been nice, but alot of teams missed. Barring the last 2 drafts, our drafts have been disasters though as that's what makes you mad.

But, hey, we've got a GM now and a good coach. I think we'll do alot better in the coming years.

GB, though, has done it right. If you look at their draft history for say the last 5 years, they pick up at a minimum of 2 solid players each draft on average. That's two starters at a minimum. Sure, they've had some misses too, but when you have 8-10 picks on average you can miss some.

I'm a firm believer if you want to be successful, you've got to first look to see what the successful ones are doing. I think our new GM knows this.
