The problem that some overlook every year is that you cannot depend on any draft pick to step onto the field an immediatley become an impact player.
If a team is lucky they get 1 guy each year who becomes a starter, if they are really lucky they get a guy who actualy makes a difference and another who starts.
The draft is to build depth on a team, drafted players need time to develope, especially d-lineman and o-lineman.
Seems to me that the easiest position to make an impact is the RB position, seems every year you see 2 or 3 rb's drafted in rounds 3-7 end up starting and making a difference.
I really do think that Ted Thompson (if the chance is there)will trade down, looks like all the big OT's will be gone, and I just don't think he will take another D-lineman. That leaves M. Jenkins who probably will be available later in the first round.
Here's a question for everyone.
Things fall right, Crabtree, the #1 WR just might still be on the board when the Packers pick. Do you take him?
I wouldn't hesitate, another weapon for Aaron Rodgers in a couple of years.
Also watch for Philly to try and make a trade up to get him, Packers could be in a good position for this to happen.
Drafts are a crapshoot, let's hope it's a good year for Ted Thompson and crew at the table.
