2008 OFFICIAL DRAFT THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RashanGary]

emagine us getting a young, freckle-faced, sandy-haired qb. hmmmm

That was out of left field.

[Scott Campbell]

I would rather have had Booty or O'Connell in the 4th round. At least Brohm is better than Henne.

You might still get your wish. We've got a lot of picks, and two job openings at QB.

[Rastak]

Actually, the thing that I like about the Brohm pick is that it keeps him off of the roster of the Bears, Vikings, and to a lesser extent Lions, all of whom could probably use him.

absolutely

Except for the fact that the Vikes next pick was round 5. The packers didn't block that, there is no way they would have gotten him.

[imscott72]

I wonder if one of them can be packaged for trade. I have a feeling we don't go into training camp with both QB's..

That would be stupid, not to mention wasting a pick by drafting him in the first place if you are going to trade one right away.

Not stupid at all. We have needs too. I can see him getting sent to another team for someone to fill a hole we have plus draft picks. Draft and trades aren't uncommon.

[denverYooper]

nice pick up

It's a possibility.

No. We needed a QB, just not in the second round.

[AtlPackFan]

The Packers select Brian Brohm!!

That is great value. He won't be ready for a couple of years but he's a first round talent.

Steve Young, for what its worth, said he's ready to play now. Says that speaking from personal experience this is going to be rough on Aaron. Have to wonder what Aaron is thinking right now.

[Rastak]

Great pick! Today, you need the most important position solidified.
We now have TWO quarterbacks better than anyone on the Bears.

Two guys with ZERO starts and you make a claim like that

Lamont.....you know better than that.

[BF4MVP]

Brohm will make Rodgers better and vice versa.

Absolutely.

Gotta have 2 QBs who can play..I am NOT comfortable with Dalton Bell as the backup But Brian Brohm is another story.

Love the pick..

PS I'm SO glad that we went with Brohm instead of Henne if we were gonna take a QB.

[MateoInMex]

More pressure on Aaron Rogers aside, this is a good pick IMO because Rogers has had a bit of an injured past.

You are aware the Brohm has one too?

Yes, I was, just not too familiar to what extent his injuries were. But at least now the Packers have a "backup", because up until today...Culpepper was getting a look. I agree with the other poster who didn't want to see Culpepper in a Packer uniform.

[Lurker64]

Except for the fact that the Vikes next pick was round 5. The packers didn't block that, there is no way they would have gotten him.

If he's sitting there at the end of the day going into the third, there's nothing keeping the Vikings from trading players or future picks for a third to get Brohm. After the Vikes took a Safety in the second, it was pretty clear Brohm wasn't going to be a Viking. But still, the Vikings could use a young QB who's only a year or two out. They're putting an awful lot of eggs in the Tavarius Jackson basket.

No thats just how bad the Bears QBs are they might even be worse than jump pass...wait no he is still the bottom of the barrel

[RashanGary]

I forgot Brohm was even out there. I'm very happy with that pick. The QB position is too valuable to put all on the shoulders of one unproven guy. Now we get two decent chances to find a legit QB.

[LL2]

It's a possibility.

No. We needed a QB, just not in the second round.

Brohm wouldn't have lasted until the Pack picked next. I bet Parcells wanted Brohm.

Does anyone know Brohm's age?

Yup! Exactly right!
Have you watched Grossman and Orton?
