I haven't spent much time detailing each and every draft pick that signs with the team, but with the news that third round pick James Jones has signed a four year contract with the team, I thought it was a good time to praise the work of Andrew Brandt.

The man is a machine and has been earning his salary since Thompson took over the GM duties. Every year Thompson accumulates a ton of picks and every year, Brandt has all of them into camp on time, usually with a four or five year contract, which favors the team. Aaron Rogers missed two days, Nick Barnett missed a day. A pretty impressive track record that should be given a little more light.
