Former Packers still pursuing the dream

This is from the timeframe of the "realm" You made up the part about TT dangling the pick for potential trade. You lie to further your anti TT narrative. You are the village idiot, not the PR historian.

It’s the off-season, so Harrell the poster is busy falling in love, but if you ask him to take the time to check his Twitter archive, he’ll tell you that Twitter was buzzing at that time about the Packers taking Kizer. It’s only logical for the Packers to leak the rumor, with the aim of starting a bidding war for the 1st pick of the 2nd round.

No, it is not logical to make that assumption. It is more likely that the buzz simply grew from some fan or would be draft guru coming up with a goofy prediction.

Ian Rapaport ain’t some fan or would-be draft guru. Dude has deep sources within the NFL. Odds were, the Packers “leaked” their interest in Kizer to Rapaport. Even said they received trade offers from multiple teams.

Given how much Thomson loved draft picks, it was obvious as fuck that his bluff got called. Thompson couldn’t find a trade partner and settled for King.
