In some circles, former Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson is considered an NFL draft genius.
And you have to be that if you’re only going to acquire players in that manner, as Thompson did.
In this circle, Thompson is largely considered a dipshit. Draft and develop. Well, that only works if you draft well, doesn’t it, dummy?
In recent years, Big Ted hasn’t drafted so well. Personally, I feel he coasted on that reputation of draft genius simply because he picked Aaron Rodgers.
Nothing speaks to Thompson’s draft failures more than his 2015 draft class, however.
