I actually think the Packers training staff f*cked up Justin Harrell.
I do think Randle was trash and was a terrible draft pick on so many levels. Espcially when the obvious choice of Erik Kendricks was right there.
Kevin King is an okay 2nd CB who had just a terrible, terrible game. I don't think he's trash. I don't think he is worth a valuable 2nd contract.
Randal was deemed the best DB left in the class, and CB position was also considered the higher priority position, as a GM that didn't like to buy players with UFA the draft was TEds way of fixing need position, and we despertly needed CB's and took two, most GM's would have done the same, your using hind sight with Kendricks a bit, without looking, memory says they where both closely rated, for whatever that means, the ratings from college don't always translate the same in the pros.
We brought back Williams for insurance with King and Sullivan, yet both stink the joint up and Williams never leaves the bench, anyway KIng has a injury excuse and gets another year, but he'll have to do a lot better to get another deal, if Stokes smokes in PS games KIng could be trade bait.
as fans we think BPA, but I don't think GM's can think that way, not every season anyway, there are priority positions a defense or offense can't win without, a GM that neglects to fix them with ready to play talent isn't helping his team, if you lack CB's and pass rushers on defense you might as well just stay home, last time we spent a 1st on a ILB was Hawk, Teds first draft, Ted went conservative, sorta, with a player he felt would be consistent if not spectaculer, and thats what Hawk became.
lots of us liked Kendricks, but practicality was against him.
lots of rumors concerning Harrell, if he was medically cleared to practice then it's debatable if the trainer is responsible, but who knows for sure.
