Poll: Packer Rats Draft Psychology

Re: Poll: Packer Rats Draft Psychology

1) Are there any players which the Packers could draft that you, personally, have fallen in love with? Which ones?

I feel really wanting this or that player and TT's mentality are non -congruent.

TT will take best player available and we really have need to develop at CB and OLT.

The talent may not be there in this draft for a LT but T bwetter be looking there soon.

2) Are there any players which the Packers could draft that you, personally, have a strong aversion towards and would be unhappy if they are drafted? Which ones?

NO see above. That's a waste of TIME given TT's style of just really surprising us.Hahahaha

3) Are there any positions that you'd be upset if the Packers picked a player at that position in the first round, even if the player selected was a good value? Second round? Third round? Which ones?

He better not go DT. If he does I'll stink this place up.

4) Are there any positions that you'd be upset if the Packers did not address in the first three rounds, regardless of the value available at those positions when we pick? First two rounds? First round? Which ones?

CB

5) Would you be upset if Thompson continues his program of trading down for more picks? How much would he have to trade down before you would be disappointed (assuming he got a fair deal)? Would you be upset if Thompson traded 2008 draft picks for future draft picks, even if he got a good deal?

NO!

6) Would you be upset if Thompson acted uncharacteristically and took a risk to trade up? Assuming he got a fair deal, how much would he have to give up to trade up before you're uncomfortable with the deal?

Moot question as he won't.

BONUS NON DRAFT QUESTION: Do you want Moss this year? Did you want Moss last year? If you want Moss, how much would you pay to get him?

I wanted Moss and LOVE this WR anytime.

My new philosophy is to not spend as much time combing over the draft - TT ends up picking a guy like Brandon Jackson in the second round, who, in my researches, looked very generic, vanila, just a guy - no one I was remotely interested in. But he's a Packer now and I kinda wasted my time being disappointed. Now I'm rooting for him.

Same with James Jones.

I would be mildly unhappy if TT took a player at any one of these positions in the first round, because I don't think we need immediate help in any of these areas: linebacker, safety, and wide receiver. I think you can get guys at those positions who are talented but undeveloped in later rounds. You don't need a starter at any one of those spots.

If TT took a QB in round one I'd be okay with that. The dude took A-Rod in his first draft when the Packers needed lots and lots of help and Brett Favre was the QB, and I think that pick will prove wise if A-Rod can stay healthy.

If he takes an offensive lineman in round one I'd be okay with it.

Personally I think you can never get enough defensive lineman who can rush the passer, so if he took a defensive end I'd be fine with that.

I'd be good with a corner for the first pick.

I wouldn't mind if TT traded down - this is supposed to be a deep draft, so if anybody can mine the talent at the lower end of the draft, it's Ted.

Conversely, I'd be bummed if he traded up early. If he wants to trade up in like the fourth round, then fine. But not in the first three.
