Draft and develop.
If you’re a Green Bay Packers fan, that slogan has to bring up bittersweet memories. On the one hand, it was the primary philosophy responsible for the Packers' Super Bowl XLV victory under Ted Thompson. On the other, it’s what made fans suffer through the smattering of UDFA’s who were thrust into crucial starting roles over the last decade.
Thompson’s insistence on building from within kept them from ever being in cap hell, but I’m here to argue that not only was it ill-advised to completely ignore free agency under the current CBA but that the Packers weren’t even living by their own slogan.
