Did even the Packers know Rogers was going to turn into what he did? If they did, why not trade up to get him because they couldn't risk the best player in the draft would still be there when they picked? I mean they were the one team that knew an all pro was just sitting there? It wasn't genius. The draft is 80% luck. There are outright bad picks (Tim Couch, Ryan Leaf) but most of the time you draft a player and hope he figures out how to make the jump to the NFL. Why wasn't Brady drafted higher? Why wasn't Tony Romo drafted at all? No, it's not bad GMing when you don't get these players, it's bad GMing when you get nothing out of the draft. Pioli is getting good drafts so far.
I'll be kind and just say I think you're confused about how the draft works.
