Restating the obvious, Dorsey learned from Ted Thompson
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/04/03/packers-prefer-compensatory-picks-over-unrestricted-free-agents/


Packers General Manager Ted Thompson has a formula for building his team, and he’s sticking with it.

Thompson believes in building through the draft, not free agency, and that includes acquiring more draft picks by declining to sign unrestricted free agents. In the NFL, teams that lose more in free agency than they acquire get compensatory picks, and the Packers’ moves in free agency this year indicate that they’re already thinking about acquiring compensatory picks for next year. The NFL doesn’t public the precise formula used to determine compensatory picks, but the simple version is that if the unrestricted free agents you lose are better, higher-paid players than the unrestricted free agents you sign, then the NFL will compensate you the following year with compensatory picks.

As the Green Bay Press-Gazette points out, even the one big name the Packers have signed this offseason, Julius Peppers, was a free agent because he was released by the Bears, not because his previous contract expired. That means he won’t count as an unrestricted free agent addition for the Packers for the purpose of determining their compensatory picks next year.

Last year the Packers lost two key players, receiver Greg Jennings and linebacker Erik Walden, as unrestricted free agents. And the Packers didn’t sign any unrestricted free agents last year. As a result, this year they’re getting an extra third-round pick and an extra fifth-round pick as compensatory selections.

This year the Packers have again not signed away any players whose previous contract expired, but they have lost four players, center Evan Dietrich-Smith, receiver James Jones, defensive lineman C.J. Wilson and offensive lineman Marshall Newhouse. That means the Packers will almost certainly do well when the compensatory picks are passed out a year from now.

Building through the draft and declining to overspend in free agency would be a smart strategy even if the NFL didn’t have a compensatory pick system to reward frugal teams. But when compensatory picks are added to the equation, it’s easy to see why Thompson declines to go after free agents. The Packers have been successful this way. It’s surprising more teams haven’t copied them.


May not be popular here but Dorsey is doing exactly the same thing Thompson and Ozzie Newsome are doing, stockpile draft picks and let UFAs get overpaid elsewhere.

There's truth here as well.

I think it might be difficult to ascertain exactly what Thompson would do in a situation similar to what Dorsey faced here last year, since Brett Favre was still behind center when Thompson took over.

It's about what they should be doing to help make Alex Smith a successful QB.

You don't understand the argument at all, and it's obvious.
Let's wait until after the draft to discuss this. They are drafting. WR. Also interested to see what Kelce does this year

I would love to share your confidence. It's just not something I can muster after following this team for 30 years.

I could easily see them taking a defensive lineman or pass rusher (I'd probably be ok with that) or a guard (not ok with this) over a WR.

As for Kelce, I'll be interested to see if he even gets on the field. Anything he provides after that will be a total surprise.

I just don't see them drafting a WR, as much as I wish that was what they would do. Everything screams 'lineman' to me, on one side of the ball or the other.

It's not really confidence. It's just waiting to see if they do something this year. If not than I will point my finger at Dorsey. Until then gotta see how it plays out first.

Maybe they go TE with the 1st pick

Nobody here would be happier than me if that happened. I'm a firm believer we need a matchup nightmare at TE.

They really need Kelce to come through. They're approaching overdraft territory with tight end, drafted 3 in the last 5 years, 2 of those in the 3rd round. Missing that much hurts you elsewhere on the roster.

If they go TE early and Kelce stays healthy/is a positive at TC.....then they need to ****ing cut Fasano as quick as possible. Dude is making too much to be an insurance policy.

Not to mention an insurance policy who couldn't get on the field himself.

I don't think they'll take a TE. Reid's offense seems to rely more on the TE to be a solid, unspectacular type rather than a centerpiece of the offense. A guy that can block and surprise defenses deep down the seams. Travis Kelce can be just that kind of guy if he comes back from his surgery ok.

The sad thing is, we've seen what Alex Smith can do with a centerpiece-type TE, so I'd love it if they didn't stop with Kelce.
