    and don't discount

    Ed Reynolds either. Play making ballhawk who was one yard short of the all time NCAA record for return yardage off of INT's. Most have Reynolds going in round 3

    I hope I'm wrong, but I have a feeling that position gets overdrafted cause so many teams out there need another safety
    This is kind of my theory on the upcoming draft, too. I think we will get the "backside" of a run of a position.

    If there is a value guy at 21, TT will take him. If the S's go on a run, we get a WR. The WR's go off the board, we get a shot at a decent safety. It looks like the QB's might run also. If there is a good QB at 21, Thompson may pull the trigger on that guy.

    I kinda agree with the first part of what you say, but not at all the part about pulling the trigger on a QB. None of these top QBs are anywhere near Aaron Rodgers quality. Yeah, I know, nobody is hahahaha, but these guys are far from sure thing star quality at all, and we are a LOT farther from the end of the Rodgers era than we were from the end of the Favre era when Ted got Rodgers.

    about the QB - it all depends on how the Packers have the QBs ranked. If a guy they really like drops to them, they should draft him. A QB is always one hit away from the end of his career (so is any player, but a QB is more critical). The Packers have seen the results of the "we hope rodgers stays healthy" strategy. If a guy is there that you can develop over a few years, take that guy. Maybe he ends up being trade fodder or maybe he saves your bacon for a game or for years to come.

    Still, I can't think of a guy I would take who might fall that far. For example, Bridgewater could be Russell Wilson or Seneca Wallace.

    This draft is huge for Ted Thompson and the future of the Green Bay Packers.

    TT will not go QB at #21. Someone very special has to be available at #21 for TT to use that pick.

    We have need at DT, ILB, Safety and TE. All that is irrelevant to Ted Thompson. TT will look at BPA @ #21 and don't be surprized if he elects a CB.

    Again ... there has to be a very special player there for TT or he trades down.
