Haha this is awesome, this is such a Thompson thing to do. I would of really loved to have Merling, but Nielson is a pretty good WR. Looks like the future of our WR corp is set.

[gbgary]

now take 52 (or whatever our next pick is) and 60 and move up to a 40 something.

[The Shadow]

Solid pick.

[Rastak]

Here is where you need Harvey to spin a fantastic tale praising the merits!!!!

Harvey will hate this pick.

That means this guy will turn out to be good.

Mad, if he were here live here he'd hate it.....for 30 seconds then he'd find 10 reasons to love it. And he may very well be right!

[cpk1994]

He's a gritty SOB. Fan favorite. Will be a good posession receiver. He's not afraid to go over the middle. Fun to watch (not so when he's torching your team's ass)

thats great, we already have 3 of that wr on this team

big, white, fast wr

bill schroeder 2 anyone?

No, becuase Bill S. was to afraid to get hit. Nelson is not.

[BallHawk]

I'm not even going to question Ted on any pick. He's reached the point where he will be right no matter how stupid it sounds.

If Ted told me to kill my cat I would because I know it'd end up for the best someway.

[Badgerinmaine]

Does anyone know where Bretsky lives? Cause we should probably have the paramedics check on him now.

Doesn't he live in Fort Atkinson? I think they have paramedics there :P

[Lurker64]

After the initial "huh" of the pick, It's starting to grow on me. I was talking to a friend who's a K-State fan and what he told me is that "He's a gamer and totally self-motivated, should be a big time possession receiver, has potential much greater than that."

In 3 previous drafts Ted has always taken a receiver in the second or third round that left saying "huh?". Every single time that guy has turned out to be a player. So I'm going to trust our scouting department and believe them when they say this was the best player available.

[CyclonePackFan]

After hearing all the pissing and moaning about Ted's WR's the past two years (Jennings and Jones), I'll take Ted's opinion over anyone here.

This kid is no Bill Schroeder.

[texaspackerbacker]

Schroeder was an unknown, a project, and no rep for hands.

This guy is an established star college player, known for his hands.

[CaliforniaCheez]

We are one white defensive back away from Outside The Lines and Oprah coming to town to do a show on the racial balance on the Packers

Thanks for making me choke. That is very funny.

[Rastak]

Hawks on the clock. So as I watch this stuff unfold, what do I want to see at 47 for Minnesota? Lemme see what we have here.....

[BF4MVP]

Carlson is gone

[MadtownPacker]

Isnt Kansas St a high octane passing game offense?
