Draft - How many players will the Packers select

[GrnBay007]

With the 8 picks in the draft, how many players will the Packers select?

This is also a poll at Packers.com but lets see who picks it right on PackerRats.

My guess is 7.

[Partial]

10

[red]

i'll say 11

[RashanGary]

I'm going to say 9.

[BF4MVP]

I'll guess 10 too

[Brohm]

I am guessing 10. I think he trades back twice, once first day (maybe a 2 for a 3rd and a 4th) and another on day 2 (5th for 2 6th or some sort). I didnt do the math on the value so the rounds may be off. Given our position though, it's prime for someone to jump up to grab someone and allow TT to take some flyers on some late picks and dropping back to pick up some of those important 4th rounders (1st round of second day, Wolf always stocked a few). Will be interesting to see his take to say the least.

[sepporepi]

exactly 8

[ND72]

10

[the_idle_threat]

9 and 1/2

[SkinBasket]

10. One will be maimed, killed, arrested, or forced to flee the country, or announce he is married in Massachusetts before signing a contract, so we'll only net 9.

Why the hell isn't this a poll? Don't tell me a mod doesn't know how to make a poll.

it's not a poll because then we wouldn't know who picked the right #.

Come on Skin; gotta think outside the Box :lol:

How can anybody say they were right if it's a poll ?

I'd say 10

well this ones simple really

woman are only capable of doing simple tasks. like moving their hands back and forth, in a vacuuming motion. or bobbing their heads up and down. or saying OMG

you see, making a poll on here for a female is like your average man mastering quantum physics

so we really need to understand and show sympathy for our fellow female rats. not jump all over them and make fun of them for not being able to do something thats waaay out of their league

i for one 007 would like to apologize on behalf of all men for the lack of class that skin showed in his post

[Zool]

Pay the man!

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

TT:


When asked if he could come out of this draft with 10 or 11 picks, Thompson said: "I could see coming out of this draft with 10 or 11 picks, depending on how the thing goes. We have added a lot of core players to our team, we are stronger and deeper than we were in past years. But it kind of depends on how the draft is working. As a general rule, you'd always rather have 10 picks than six picks, because with 10 picks you've got more chances of finding a good player, obviously.

I'll go with 10. :)

[The Leaper]

I'm guessing 9...we'll pick up an extra pick somewhere

[Tarlam!]

red, I went red when I saw your last post! Then, it was BOMNF all the way!!

I'm with sep, TT brings home 8 players. 5 make the roster....

[GrnBay007]

red--->:butt:<---007


:P

[red]

lol :talk:

[Fritz]

Nine this year and pick up an extra fifth next year (round, not bottle).

[texaspackerbacker]

I'll go along with 007 and say 7.

I've said several times, I wouldn't be surprised if Thompson trades up to get an elite Corner in the first round--giving up maybe a 3rd, 4th, or 5th.

You are in such deep shit, dude.

[DonHutson]

With the 8 picks in the draft, how many players will the Packers select?

Hopefully all of the picks will turn out to be players.

[KYPack]

Unimaginative, but 8. We have the two 2's and the 2 fourths, but our picks are so low. I just don't think TT has a lot of trading ammo this go round.

Shoe size is important huh Red? Comfortable feet helps your entire body feel better.

[Chubbyhubby]

I am going to be different and say 8.

[sharpe1027]

8 and one extra next year.

[red]

the more i think about it the more i can't see us keeping both those 2nd round picks.

somehow or another one of those picks will not be made at that spot by us

[Bretsky]

I guarantee you that you'll be all excited about one specific player......with 10 seconds left up comes the Card.

The Green Bay Packers have traded Pick 60................ :lol:

Just wait and see. The draft hasn't happened yet ... :taunt:

[BZnDallas]

call me crazy but TT always traded down so he could stockpile picks to help rebuild the team... now that HIS team is assembled i can see TT trading up at some point this year if he thinks a player is available to help right away... not necessarily a starter but one that can help contribute in getting to and winning the SB... i know i'm opening up myself for critizism but i'll say 6 or 7... can i have two?... lol... i just don't see TT drafting 11 or 12 more players now that his team is ready to go... that just seems like a waste... just a thought

[woodbuck27]

12, TT goes on a drafting binge this weekend.

Why Lord Ohhh Why? That's like going out shopping for Homo milk and actually buying skim.

Husband's pissed off. :D

TT brings 8 more to the fold.

TT will be, trading down.

TT brings 8 plus 2 = 10 more to the fold with two more picks acquired this weekend

In 2005 TT selected 12; 2006 12 more; 2007 11 new prospects from the draft were added to our Pre-Season Roster.

Our Roster presently has 40 on offense and 35 on defense for a total of 75.

PACKERS FOREVER!

I think he trades down 146 times and picks 219 players :lol:

I'd like to change my prediction to 11.5; that way I'm looking down on Red just like in fantasy football next year

11 picks this year and TT will acquire one pick next year from the trade downs

That is how I get 11.5 :!:

Somebody needs a spankin; where is your gal friend from London when I need her :lol:

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'll say he nets 10 picks in the end. He'll hit big on four of them, but I'll be completely off on which four it will be.

Men. Always exaggerating about these things... :D

[pbmax]

I'll say eleven with two trades down.

No way he isn't trading one of the two second round picks. Even if he deals the 1st rounder. If he deals the 30th overall and gets another second this year, then wist might be closest to the pin.

I also don't buy the Journal Sentinel collective wisdom that now he has righted the ship talent-wise, he will try to pick higher with fewer picks to maximize talent. I think T2 believes draft picks are 50/50 propositions even in the first round and he will always expect some picks not to stay on the team longer than a year or two.

He did trade up. He just traded down a few more times than he traded up.

9 + a 6th next year...is that 9.5 :shock: :lol:

9 plus the pick TT never made when he traded it for a pick next year :lol:
