Yeah we draft RB's and pass rushers well. They drafted Clay Matthews and Eddie Lacy, and while they aren't JC and Houston, they are still damn good players.
It's not even close.

The only reason their drafts are better than ours is because of Aaron Rodgers. That is it. The Packers are a 'WR factory' because Aaron Rodgers makes everyone look amazing. He has pinpoint accuracy. How has Greg Jennings fared in Minnesota? You cannot reference their WR's as some sort of "omg the Packers are a model franchise!."
They've also CONSISTENTLY ****ed up drafting OL to protect Aaron Rodgers in the 1st round. They've missed on several DB's and DL, as well. They still haven't found a quality TE, either. Eddie Lacy is ok, not special, and they missed on Brandon Jackson in the 2nd round before that.
It's funny to me that these "model franchises" people always envy seem to also always have that franchise QB. Strange. I know.
Seriously. I've done it 20 times on this board. I will go break down every single Chiefs/Packers draft since Aaron Rodgers and show you that they are no better at drafting than Kansas City and we're working on our 3rd regime over those years.
If Pioli tripped into Aaron Rodgers, Pioli would be revered around here and still in charge.
