I understand the high grades for the Packers '90 and '93 drafts, but the '91 makes no sense at all. Clark lasted two years, but was abused by opposing WRs worse than dogs at a puppy mill. Tuaolo was an average NT/DT who bounced around to four or five teams. Don Davey was a serviceable rotational DE. One notable fan favorite UDFA played for a few years, John Jurkovic.

That's my bad. The 1991 Packers rate just 67. The third 1991 draft is supposed to be Atlanta. The GB connections is Favre, who is over half the value of the Atlanta draft. Fixed.

Seems like this is a collection that should have won a title or two.

Never had the right coach. Schottenheimer was a good regular-season coach but never a good playoff coach. Turner was never a good head coach at any part of the season.

That and the organization badly neglected special teams.
