Okay, FWIW, here is why I think Ted Thompson isn't as good at drafting as people thinking, and, more importantly, he's not where he needs to be *given* his approach to *veteran* free agency:

1. First, my "grades", pick by pick. For 2013 and 2014 my rankings are more my "potential" evaluation. For earlier years, it is my assessment of the player's performance level in the NFL. I don't use "fail" or "bad" -- to me, "underwhelming" is sufficient. These are players that I don't think constituted enough value. "GPA" doesn't count 2013 and 2014; if it did, it would likely be a bit lower I suppose.
2. I do not consider "# of starts" relevant information. Draft too many underwhelmers and some of them get to start. Start too many underwhelmers and you don't have a good team.
3. I also did not adjust for position here. Had I, given how I value OL and DL relative to the other positions, most of the annual grades, and definitely the GPA, would be lower.
4. If we count "solid" as a hit, "extra base hit" as a double, and "underwhelming" as an out, then his batting average would be 0.287 and slugging percentage 0.564. To be honest, this was better than I thought -- not the "Dave Kingman of drafting" that I have labelled him in the past. Major league numbers, but is it enough to make the World Series if he only has one player in the bullpen because he doesn't use veteran free agency more? I don't think so.
(Aside: I didn't count either Murphy or Abbrederis (I didn't want to put a value on players that either didn't or havent played yet), Ted Thompson came up to bat 94 times. If I had to assign a value to either, I would have to put "underwhelming" on both, which would knock both BA and SP down.)

Yes, Shields and Williams proved better than dozens and dozens of high draft picks.

They also proved better than thousands of UDFAs.

The point I think uffda is making -- and certainly the one *I* would make -- is not that Ted hasn't had some big successes. It is that he hasn't had *enough* of them.

If you are going to put more emphasis than the average GM on draft-and-UDFA-and-develop than other teams, it isn't enough to have some draft and UDFA successes. You must have *MORE* draft and UDFA successes than GMs who also have a lot of "veteran FA" in their quiver.

I haven't had time to do similar calculations for other GMS as I did in my last post. Nor, frankly, do I have interest. What I care about is whether this team, from its president on down, strives not just to "succeed" but to *dominate*. And, when the part of the team has had a decade (as Thompson has), whether he *has* dominated. I don't think he has.

I don't think as ill of Ted as uffda does. To me, he's better than the majority of GMs in the league and (with the exception of his OL performance) has been for his entire time in GB. But to me, "better than the majority" isn't enough. I want striving (and ultimately performance) that is top 3-5 top to bottom. Despite its OL (which I am *still* not satisfied with, by the way) GB has a top 3-5 offense. But they are not close to top 5 in defense or special teams or coaching. Or, IMO, at GM.

So they, and this includes Ted, are not good enough.

Winning the division every year is cool. But remember who else is in the division. I mean, come on, we're talking the Bears and the Lions and the Vikings. It ain't close to enough.

I want to be *that* team. The team NO ONE wants to play.

And that means I want the team led by people who strive to be *that* team. I want people who don't finesse things, who don't play the percentages, who don't talk about any given Sunday and parity and how the league has changed because of the salary cap or because of Some Factor Q. People who don't blame it on refs or weather or luck or pad level or coming out flat or anything else.

I want the team led by people who think its still possible to be John Wooden's UCLA or Vince Lombardi's Packers. People who think they're going to win by 20 every week even if the other guy's bring their A game.

People who, when they go home without another Lombardi trophy, say, "We're not good enough. Period."

That's what I want. And I'm going to keep bitching until I see that.

HHCD, Davante and RR do not look anywhere near home runs. I would say all 3 were okay. Hard saying which direction they're headed. Could all 3 turn into homers? Unlikely. Very unlikely. I'm not sure other than them being Packers why anyone would think those three were homeruns? Seriously, nerd, why?

I would grade them this way... HHCD between a B and B-, Davante a B-, and RR a C to C-. I did agree with your Thornton analysis and would give him a hearty F-.

Oops, just had to look at the rest. Bradford is a D to D-, Linsley I would give a B to B+... Goodson a D...and Janis a B.

For HHCD to come in as a rookie and become a starter and play at a relatively decent level, as a late first rounder - thats pretty darn good don't you think? Do you really expect late 1st rounders, and late 2nd rounders to come in and be all stars right away? I don't expect that on anyone except for the top of the 1st. So to be able to contribute in a good way right off the bat is deserving of a good grade in my opinion. A 6th round pick turning out to be a quality starter is a homerun, even if he isn't an all star, simply based on where he was drafted. I am never expecting anything out of 6th round picks, I always think they are lucky to make the team. If they actually become starters in their first couple of years, then that was a great pick and they are a homerun.

You've got to base your ratings on where they were drafted.

edit: I almost forgot. I see a lot of bad grades for BJ Raji in here. However, wasn't he exactly what we wanted from a top 10 pick? He came in and made an immediate impact on our defense over his first 2 years and was a large part of our Superbowl run. Shouldn't that give him a better rating? Due to his large immediate impact? We got what we wanted out of our first round pick, he contributed to our Superbowl victory. Would you rather have a pick who plays well his entire career, and never contributes to a superbowl win, or a player who has some strong years and helps us win one? Yes, I realize hes played like garbage since then. How would you all have graded him after his first 2 years? How will you all grade him if he blows shit up this season?

If you expect every single pick to be a pro bowler on day one, then yeah, you must be disappointed.

I do understand the need for difference makers on the team. But not every pick that isn't a difference maker should be graded a miss. It is the GMs responsibility to bring in solid role players as well. Unlike fantasy football, you can't have allstars at every position.

It isn't nonsense. He played DT for Philly and dwarfed his Packers tackles numbers both seasons in Philly and had 9.5 sacks from the DT position. Do you want to take a look at Ryan Pickett's numbers and compare? Oh, but Pickett was a Ted Thompson FA and just a dynamite move, right? You posting stats minus context or ever having seen him play is what is nonsense.

Post up all the Packers DT sack totals over the past several seasons. Cullen was versatile and could play DE or DT and was a fine Packer. He was just a little too much like Clay Matthews in he was injured often. Remarkable he played all 32 games for Philly the next two seasons. You do realize Ted Thompson chose to give HUGE money to AJ freaking Hawk in favor of Cullen? You tell me what nonsense is again?

The Dream Team...LOL Wow, the Dream team only went 8-8; an then what, 4-12???? How is that possible w/ a GM doing all the right things like spending a fortune on a bunch of FAs? Ted Thompson is such an idiot for not doing this!!!!

IN GB Jenkins one-gapped on passing downs and in base 3-4 and CM3 got the attention; that's why his sack totals were as high as they were. When Capers didn't have a "jenkins-type" to play he went more 2-4-5 w/ the DTs 2 gapping and LBs getting the sacks/tackles. In Philly, they played a 4-3, not a 3-4 [Apples and oranges] Jenkins over two full yrs got 9 sacks; but only because all the attention went to Cole and Babin on outiside; compared to his DT counterpart in 2011 patterson came out on all passing downs and still had 2.5 sacks; in 2012 Cox was a rookie played 1/2 year and had 5 sacks to Jenkins' 4. 9 sacks is okay; but he only got them because other DLman that got more attention.

What Philly did has nothing to do with Ted Thompson overpaying Hawk while letting Cullen walk. Didn't work out real well for us but who notices when you deflect truth with shinola line by line.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Piecemeal evaluation is hard in football. 2 underwhelms; 2 solids and 1 homerun on an OLine=dead QB; but if those pieces play well together then it is as Aristotle said, “the whole is [exponentially] greater than the sum of the parts.” Part of the key to good drafting is making sure the player fits in to the different team cultures and schemes [Trust me, there is a special culture in that OL group]. And Daniels may be correctly viewed as solid; but you’ll see his grand slam value if he gets hurt, plays 3 tech in 4-3 or signs his next contract. [Note: if ya get a bunch of dream team FAs; the whole can be worth a lot less than the sum of the parts].
Ted Thompson put together a final 4 roster [final 2 if not Bosticized] w/ little use of FAs. It’s been said the strength of a roster is best measured by what other GMs will pay for the scraps: House got 26+M [not a single snap in playoffs]; Williams 21M/10M Guaranteed [Wasn’t starting in 2015] and most throwaways got guaranteed $$ [Jones and Hawk 500K; Lattimore 60K; Boykin 20K] and Bostic was claimed. Other GMs have great respect for this Roster. Now this either means TT’s a stellar drafter or has made up the supposed vet FA deficiency w/ UDFAs, which is an integral part of the whom to draft/whom not to draft process.

The ONLY WAY to win a SB, in this era, is to have a bunch of 1st contract studs. Vet FAs impede the process of developing those 1st contract studs.

AR12 is why we're as good as we are. Take any of the 31 GMs and we still win division titles. I would bet 16 other gms could get this franchise a ring.

Good to know you'd take Jerry Jones over Ted. What about Dan Snyder? What about the other GMs in our division? Pretty much a laughing stock if you ask me.

But, since you mention it, Grats on going to a different era to find a rebuttal to my FA sideshow banter. Remember the Seinfeld clown, "you're living in the past ma'am."

Every year 15 teams try this FA pile up crap and every year about 15 fail. Most becoming worse and then a lot worse. Philly is the rule, not the exception. How'd the Bears do w/ Bennett, Houston, Allen, Mincy, and their trades for Cutler and Marshall etc. How'd Denver do w/ ware, ward, sanders, Talib, Montgomry? I could go on and on.

In this era, every now and then a team wins IN SPITE of the fact they piled up FAs as the quantity and quality of the 1st contract studs overcomes the harm caused by the GM's stupidity in piling up FAs.

Adrian Hubbard was NEVER a 3rd round pick on ANY TEAM's draft board. And Aaron Rodgers was a late 1st/early second player. Compare AR's film to Dalton or Dan Persa from NU and you'll see.

When it was TT's turn to draft, Aaron Rodgers was either the last player in the tier so he was selected BPA or there were others in the tier and QB was position of greatest need, so with all else = QG/AR was BPA.

MacCarthy transformed Aaron Rodgers into a HOFer and transformed talentless noodle arm Flynn into a guy that Schneider thought was worth 3yr/26M/10MG. If Ted Thompson didn't draft AR; he'd have drafted Orton; Clemens, Whitehurst; Jackson; Kolb, Trent Edwards [this guy was talented-more than Brady] and/or Ingle Martin [LOL] and, maybe there would have been a swing and miss or two; but if not Aaron Rodgers today you'd be crying, "if Ted Thompson didn't draft HOFer Trent Edwards we'd suck."

why'd i just say all this...I'm stupid! Where would seattle be w/o Wilson; NE w/o Brady; Pitt w/o Rothlessberger; Indy w/o Manning? Duh! The Aaron Rodgers argument is the last gasp from a defeated wit.
