The Packers were supposed to draft Borland but the 49ers snapped him up before Ted could get him 8 picks later. I'm still mad about it, even after Borland retired early.

Imagine how nasty the Packers linebacker rush would have been with Peppers/Matthews on either side and Borland covering the middle. Instead we get a premier pass rusher playing ILB because the other choices at that position were so bad that it was actually more valuable to put a nobody out on the edge and move Clay out of position.

:mad:

This doesn't make any sense.

Why not? One year of Borland would have been great, especially with the performance he put up and how atrocrious ILB was for the Pack this season (as I explain a paragraph later).

Going back 10 drafts:

3. Sio Moore, LB, Connecticut
3. Tony Bergstrom, T, Utah
3a. DeMarcus Van Dyke, CB, Miami
3b. Joseph Barksdale, T, LSU
3. Jared Veldheer, T, Hillsdale
3. Matt Shaughnessy, DE Wisconsin
3a. Quentin Moses, DE, Georgia
3b. Mario Henderson, OL, Florida State
3. Paul McQuistan, OL, Weber State
3a. Andrew Walter, QB, Arizona State
3b. Kirk Morrison, LB, San Diego State

How many of those players wouldn't you take one season of a very good linebacker over?

Or, even, to make it a bit fairer:

3a. Khyri Thornton, DT, Southern Miss
3b. Richard Rodgers, TE, California
3. Alex Green, RB, Hawaii
3. Morgan Burnett, DB, Georgia Tech
3. Jermichael Finley, TE, Texas
3a. James Jones, WR, San Jose State
3b. Aaron Rouse, DB, Virginia Tech
3a. Abdul Hodge, LB, Iowa
3b. Jason Spitz, G, Louisville

Of those the only one I'd take over one season of Borland is Finley and James Jones, and that's taking in account their entire Packers career, not any one single-year performance. In general people massively overrate the value of a single draft pick. If you can get one season of high productivity out of a player, you've gotten huge value out of the draft pick. The average draft pick contributes little to a team, even for a team that scouts as well as Green Bay does.

Borland could have meant all the difference, and that's absolutely worth a third-rounder to me, even knowing that he'd retire after one season.

Now that I think about it I probably wouldn't even take James Jones over a 2014 season out of Borland, especially considering the Packers' success at finding receivers.

We overvalued the James Jones pick a bit, as well, considering who we could have gotten in trade for it.

It might also be a difference in where your two teams are. The Raiders are in Browns territory (in better shape, don't get me wrong) where they need to see several good years from their drafts in order to talk about the playoffs or the Super Bowl. That's why I don't think the Josh Gordon pick was worth it, for instance, because who gives a gently caress that he led the league in receiving that one year when the Browns were awful?

But if we were a play or two away, we might think a one-year rental would be worth it. I know if it would get the Browns into the Super Bowl, I'd trade the whole of next year's draft, and the year after that too.

The NFL has hired its first female official, according to the Baltimore Sun's Aaron Wilson.

Sarah Thomas, who became the first female to officiate an NCAA football game in 2007, has previously been a finalist for the NFL job.

Thomas has been on the league's radar for seven years. NFL VP of officiating Dean Blandino said in 2013 that "She was in our pipeline for a while," but noted that making the leap to NFL official takes time for any prospective official.
