3. Ted Thompson - Packers

Like Belichick, Thompson has some weaknesses. Most glaringly, he still seems uncertain about what kind of athletes he wants on defense. He’s had more than a few first-round misses. But also like Belichick, Thompson has kept his team at the top, and like Newsome, he’s done so by keeping emotion out of the equation. Whether it’s in house or on the open market, no general manager overpays fewer players than Thompson. Yes, Thompson’s first first-round pick (Aaron Rodgers) was his best. But he’s spent the past nine years surrounding his quarterback with premium talent found after day one (Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, James Jones, Eddie Lacy). Maybe Thompson wouldn’t be so high on this list had he not found Rodgers. That’s beside the point. He did find Rodgers, not only drafting him, but also knowing when to move on from future Hall-of-Famer Brett Favre’s games. Thompson’s had some misses, but he’s not a one-hit wonder.


in TT we trust!

Id bet my cadillac that if we had a sick middle linebacker who could stuff the run, our defense would be top 3. Tramon williams and sam shields with the emergence of micah hyde have the backfield locked. If they didnt worry about the run so much wed have more picks.


The fuck... The secondary has been awful. It created a need to force pressure through blitzing, which the front 7 was unable to do. Every aspect of the defense was terrible, injuries or not. Even when it was healthy, they focused on shutting down the run against the 9ers in week 1 and they made Kaepernick look like a good QB by letting him throw for 400.
