Rank the FA Screwup

[pbmax]

Here is the list:

Evan Silva @evansilva
Notable Free Agents #Packers let walk over last 3 offseasons:

CB Casey Hayward
S Micah Hyde
C J.C. Tretter
TE Jared Cook
EDGE Julius Peppers
G T.J. Lang
S Morgan Burnett

You know, maybe its the pro scouting side that's been failing to hold up its end of the donkey?

Ranking worst first.

1. Micah Hyde
2. Julius Peppers
3. Casey Hayward
4. Jared Cook
5. TJ Lang
6. JC Tretter
7. Morgan Burnett

Cook
Hayward
Peppers

Others not a problem. And I understand why they let Hyde and Peppers go. So Cook is the only 'screwup' but maybe he wouldn't have returned even with a better offer?

I understand each one too. But Hyde is a Pro Bowl (2nd team All Pro) safety and the Packers need them. Though I grant you could list Hayward higher on the basis of four draft picks being used to bolster his former position on defense.

And its hard to rank them above the others, one of either Tretter or Lang on the team would help a lot too. Though Tretter seemed quite a luxury at his eventual price. You would have to assume he can play Guard and the loss of either Sitton or Lang.

I do't think Tretter is all that good at guard and TJ Lang has been hurt.

Hyde got a rep for INTs that pass rush generated. I think he's overrated.

Does Ayokunmi Christopher Oluwaseun Banjo not make the list?

Was Pepers interested in coming back at all? He gave a 'home is where the heart is' speech when he signed with them, I figured he wanted to go back there for a retirement tour. I have to admit I was surprised when he laced them up again this year.

I would put the order at Hyde, Hayward and Cook.

Gutey released Jeff Janis and special teams fell apart. Bring Black Jeff Janis!

I believe, but cannot put my finger on where, that Peppers was interested in returning. The home speech was after the Packers indicated no contract was forthcoming.

Banjo perhaps does deserve a spot.

But Guiness, you can make your own full ranking.

No Lawrence Guy?

all scouting might be failing the team

might be time to clean house in that department too

[Freak Out]

Shouldn't the hire of Milt Hendrickson help?

I've been calling for a hard look at the scouting dept for years. To me, it's obvious they had been doing a poor job of evaluating talent in the draft - and since the draft was our only means of procuring players, our decline was predictable.

Ted is still there, yes?? Is Highsmith still there??

Ted's not all there, and Highsmith is in Cleveland. Packers national scout has been around forever, but their director of college scouting is that guy Mansplaining they hired a couple years back from the 49ers. Their regional scouts are all pretty new/young.
