Ted Thompson: His last five Green Bay Packers drafts are defensive misery
By Raymond Rivard8 months agoFollow @lombardiave
" The Packers GM, who was himself a linebacker in the NFL during his playing days, however, doesn’t seem to be able to draft any player worth their salt on that side of the line.
To make a point, we’ve gone back five years – the amount of time most coaches and GMs are given to produce a Super Bowl champion – and taken a look at the defensive players drafted by Thompson.
What we found wasn’t pretty."

Comment woodbuck27: I simply have higher expectations based in what I expect from myself.
I don't still ever do anything and not aim to do it very well. All my life I have proven personally that outstanding effort gave me outstanding results. All my life I rose to the highest levels.I strived to be the WINNER...and too often I was or came close to the GOLD.
That hasn't changed since I joined Packerrats. If you imagine otherwise then I'll suggest you and prejudice. I trust my determination, attitude, brains, skills and wisdom. I don't give a damn and what anyone here imagines different and me. I know who I am.
As for TT. All I see now is Burn Out.
That isn't anything and a prejudice against TT. I actually like Ted Thompson as a person that is rather gentle in his style of being himself. I look at anything and try with great effort to see it as it really is. I'm a Canadian and we hate prejudice and discount anyone who instructs their life on such a lousy basis. Check out the POLLS and our Canadian view of a certain ahhhhh hahaha... I'll go with personality and the USA.
I will remain in my analysis and Green Bay Packers with this:
I hope strongly that Ted Thompson let's go of his GM position this Season. I certainly do NOT want him having any post Packer GM capacity as a Draft Advisor.

There is so much that is LUCK and making a Draft Pick. The picks below were certainly productive game changers for their teams:
12 Baltimore Ravens Haloti Ngata DT Oregon
14 Philadelphia Eagles Brodrick Bunkley DT Florida State
17 Minnesota Vikings Chad Greenway LB Iowa
20 Kansas City Chiefs Tamba Hali DE Penn State
I didn't look past the 2oth Pick; that wasn't a good Draft overall as I recall it.

I won't defend TT much in this regard, but like all articles they cherry pick a bit to make their predetermined point. If TT had resigned Micah Hyde and Casey Hayward things look a lot better right now. Kenny Clark looks like a winner to me so far. Martinez and Lowry look like NFL talent. I wanted Watt, but King was my second choice and Josh Jones has me interested. If all these young guys come on and stop getting concussions it could make up for a few bad drafts. King is key here. We need a guy to emerge as a semi shut down CB. House is ok as a 2 and after that you rely on scheme and not getting bad matchups. I like our safety and DL situations. Can 2 of the 3, Perry, Mathews, Brooks stay healthy?
Just like last year the sudden end of Sam Shields career is hurting us. We lack CB talent and the little we have keeps getting hurt. Again, my expectations are reasonable. .500 without rodgers against the softer part of our schedule. If that doesn't happen heads must roll. If that doesn't happen with your hand crafted 3rd year backup its all true. Rodgers has been saving your ass for this long.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
Thompson drafted Daniels, Perry, Matthews, Clark, Lowry, Collins, found Shields and Tramon undrafted. To say he can't draft for D is stupid. To say he has a worse record than any other GM over specific timeframes is not what click-bait article writers do. They cherry pick data to get rubes to shout "FUCK YEAH" at their monitors so they can feel justified in their own mis-assertions.
Instead of saying Thompson can't draft D, stack up the rest of the league's hits and misses year over year. Then do it by round. You know, make a statement with facts instead of opinions. You won't because it doesn't fit your self created narrative.
