I'll be the first to admit his first two years sucked at picking players but his last two actually helped set the stage for a Super Bowl run.

It is so much more than drafting though. I'd argue our selection of talent hasn't been poor anyways. Perhaps our lack of focus on the lines is misguided but nothing about Holmgren says he focuses on the lines all that much either. He seems like a more lateral move to me.
