Yet another trade deadline has come and gone without the Green Bay Packers making a move. This is not surprising to anyone who has paid even the slightest bit of attention to the Packers since the beginning of time, but particularly since the beginning of the Ted Thompson era. The Packers front office is conservative in nature. Draft-and-develop is the team’s mantra and it’s been pretty successful, even if it mostly involves the luck (or foresight) of having an elite quarterback for much of the past fifteen years.
Draft-and-develop only works, of course, if you draft well.
