This was posted earlier this week. The metric this ranking uses is pretty questionable. “Four year starter” doesn’t take into account if they’re a bad starter or only a starter because the HC is a stubborn ass. 

So name a hurney drafted player who started 4 years for us and was so bad that no one else started him.

I think "4 year start" is a little extreme, as it doesn't take into account developing talent that doesn't start for a few years but blossoms later.  That being said I know exactly where you are coming from.  For years the Packers were at the top of the league in numbers of players that they had drafted being starters for them.  But what wasn't accounted for was the fact that they purposely force fed their own drafted players onto the field, and largely stayed out of free agency.  So while their drafts look good using that metric, they were putting an inferior product onto the field vs the one they could have had if they would have been more willing to use free agency. 

Then you flip it to a team like the Patriots.  Just judging by their drafts, its nothing special and some years are down right pitiful.  But they rarely force feed anyone into their lineup, and are heavily engaged in free agency and the trade market to improve their roster.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense.

      No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.

      At this range currently he’s probably a day 3 pick, but I think he will rise to day 2.
