In the NFL Draft we trust. Or at least Jerry and Stephen Jones, assisted by Will McClay, do. The Dallas Cowboys brain-trust has long had a preference for leaning much more heavily on drafting than on free agency, and given the history of the Green Bay Packers in recent years, that looks like a place where Mike McCarthy is fully in tune with them.
Fans of the team certainly hope that they will do well this year, and look to the recent past as evidence that they should. However, there is always a tendency to be more favorably inclined towards your team’s players.
