That's a great point. I was thinking along the lines that it would make sense to find more can't miss players up high in picks 1-10 vs. 22-32.

With a QB, I think that would make some sense, but how many SB winners, or those that are playoff teams are drafting QB's in Round 1?

The thing that troubled me about Sherrod is there was no positive buzz about him like there was with some other guys like a Greg Jennings, Casey Hayward, etc. He wasn't making any waves early and seemed to be treading water. If you're a 1st round OT and you can't get on the field with the line we had when he was drafted, that was a very disappointing omen. It is hard for me to believe a guy with no positive buzz who wasn't making hey to play vs. the guys we had there, then, how is he going to do so now?

His movement to G after drafting him a T might be all the reason he struggled as he didn't play G at Mississippi State. The Packers had an even more liberal move guys around philosophy regarding the OL than they do now. I'm all for a guy being able wear multiple hats but make sure he is good at one before you move him. He never got a shot at tackle. Campen and musical positions has usually done us a disservice. A couple of smart decisions that worked out were realizing Bryan Bulaga was not a LT and putting him on the right side...Guard made sense for him and of course the switch of Sitton and Lang.

What a boon to the team it would be if Derek overcomes the odds and excels at LT...it'd be like an extra 1st rounder added for this season.

Nationally he probably didn't have a buzz about him. But here in Northern Illinois there was a big discussion as to whether the bares selection of Wisconsin's Carimi or GB's selection of Sherrod was the better pick.

I agree a player should be proficient at one position before they add to his duties. Unless he fails at the first one and they want to try him elsewhere instead of releasing him. A lot of guys have been moved inside when they struck out at OT.
