MCGINN- "PACK MIGHT TRADE AWAY TOP PICK

[Bretsky]

I like it when McGinn starts posting bullshit. Good things start happening when he does. He wrote up all kinds of bullshit prior to last season, and it got us a 13-3 record and trip to the NFCC game.

Didn't McGinn predict us to go deep deep into the playoffs at the beginning of last season ?

Him and Vinnie Iyer were predicting division titles. About the only ones. McGinn is good. Christl was good. They don't hit a homer on every article, but they are better than most.

He did, but he rode Thompson like a rental mule several times for not being aggressive enough in acquiring talent.

I've never liked McGinn. I sincerely HOPE, however, he is right about one seemingly unbelievable item in his article. He claims Rodgers-Cromartie is no higher than the 4th best Corner and is likely to be there when the Packers come up at #30?

I had to read it twice myself, but here's what he said:

"With most teams higher on Rodgers-Cromartie than the Cowboys, the assumption is he'll be long gone by 20, let alone be available at 30."

So he's saying DRC is gone by #20. All in all he paints a grim picture of who might be sitting there at #30.

Don, do you mean to say that there are only 29 top notch, NFL-quality college football players in the whole country available for the draft?

If that's the case this will be the worst draft ever, ever, ever in the NFL.

That's what he's saying. And they're all going to get scooped up right in order because NFL teams have this thing figured out do an exact science. There's no way to get a probowl 2nd rounder but the upper picks are pretty much sure things

No, and frankly I'm not sure how you derived anything that drastic from what I said. I think after about #20 or so, the next hundred plus are almost interchangeable this year. Many of that next hundred will be players and many won't. I'd be happy to trade down and build up our odds.

Unless someone pulls an Aaron Rodgers there is no way TT keeps this pick.

At #30 his best allay to create picks and not in his MO to use it today.

TT trades down from #30 if he has any chance that will get him high picks and to cover the 6th round. His best chance is with #30 to set his draft up.

Thanks for telling me what I was saying JH. I thought I was saying something else entirely, but I guess I was wrong.

It's your last line that lead me to my interpretation, Don. A 'grim picture of who might be sitting there at #30' sounds like there's nobody worth drafting.

I mis-interpreted, then. So what did you mean? Now I'm really curious.

First of all, I'm referring to McGinn's article/mock, not our prospects generally. I said 'he' paints a grim picture and well, doesn't he? McGinn makes it sound like we're screwed. I don't necessarily agree with that, but if it went down as he suggested - a lot of the players I like are gone.

[Fritz]

Okay. Got it.
