I acknowledged that you said it about Teddy.
it was 2 subpar drafts and even that doesn't merit running him out of town. In our small little band I think only uffda is ready to move on.
As far as discussing his lousy draft jobs (11 & 12) hey it's preseason and we have to do something until the real football starts. Even then we still have the right to notice and comment on something that is a below average performance.
Cycling back to your crap shoot comment- If drafting is crap shoot why does Uncle Teddy excel in UDFAs? They put the work into it. Can you imagine how bad the team would be if he didn't or if it was all luck? We would be the Lions or worse yet the vikings. They have had some terrible drafts.

There's only 32 1st, 2nd and 3rd rnd picks, just guessing a total of 260 -280 players drafted every year, depending on Comp. picks.
I'm betting if you average out the number of Picks Ted has taken since 2005, it comes up to right around 10.(just an estimate, but prob. close)
A team usually gets 1 shot in the 1st round, sometimes 2 and every once in awhile a team like The Vikings WILL SCREW UP 3.
You hope those players pan out, but for various reasons, sometimes the just don't.
Now when Mr irrelevant is finally chosen, then there is the rest, how many? I really don't know.
I'm betting there are 300 maybe more.
Ted and crew seem to do their homework on these players and usually find 1 or 2 that probably should have been drafted but were not.
These players can choose where they want to go if they receive more than 1 offer.
I really think given Ted's track record of keeping draft picks and UDFA's, many will choose Green Bay over another team if they get the chance.
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!
