Mike Holmgren's track record in finding QBs doesn't lead to the NFL draft

"When Mike Holmgren was the coach in Green Bay, it was Brett Favre who was the game changer for the Packers. The future Hall of Fame quarterback was not drafted by Green Bay. Instead, General Manager Ron Wolf obtained Favre in a trade from Atlanta, where he was a backup.

Holmgren's next coaching stop was Seattle, where he inherited quarterback Jon Kitna. After 9-7 and 6-10 seasons, he dumped Kitna and added two quarterbacks -- Matt Hasselbeck and Trent Dilfer.

Also serving as Seattle's general manager, Holmgren signed Dilfer as a free agent after the quarterback had won a Super Bowl for Baltimore. He also made a deal with his former team -- Green Bay -- for Hasselbeck, who was a backup to Favre.

It was Hasselbeck who eventually led the Seahawks to the 2005 Super Bowl. "
