The Packers did pretty good, drafting 2 of the top 32 players, Hasselbeck now considered the #3 pick in the draft and Vonnie Holliday the #32 pick. Also, the Pack traded Fred Vinson for the #19 pick in that draft, Ahman Green.

Somebody knew what they were doing back then. :D

I'd take Ahman over a couple of guys ahead of him... Samari Rolle and Greg Ellis. Ellis has been a nice player, but never considered near the top at his position. Rolle had a few good years and has been living off his reputation since.

yea wtf is that... Woodson should be top 10... He was awesome when he was a raider, just because the whole team sucked doesn't mean he sucked...

FK these rankings!

Griese is totally overvalued here, yes. But I think they're really trying to make a point about Woodson, that he didn't perform up to his reputation during what should have been his prime years. I rarely saw him play so I couldn't argue with that, but it certainly goes with the reputation he acquired in Oakland, whether justly or unjustly--often injured, soft, not a leader. I would leave Woodson where he is and bump Griese down to 31.

I was pretty surprised Ahman ended up at 19. That's way too low.
