Indeed. We have an excellent GM. Thompson is great at spoting talent and the depth he has built in all positions is incredible. Not only that aside from Ryan Pickett and Charles Woodson, both of whom we picked up when other teams thought they were done, virtually all of the players on our squad were actually drafted by us. There are a few exceptions such as Tramon Williams (Saints) and John Kuhn (Steelers) who we've claimed off waivers and have developed into very good players.
I don't think the Rams thought Pickett was done at all. He had his best year as a Ram in his final season before he left. I was disappointed when we didn't resign him - It was a while back now, but I'm guessing he either wasn't kept due to cap management issues or because it had taken him until his contract year to show what he was actually capable of and we maybe didn't want to risk the all too often scenario of a player performing well to get paid and then relaxing.
Someone had to say it!
