[Gunakor]

Where's that ham sammich...

[arcilite]

it is for a 2009 Draft pick since the Saints have no more this year

[Gunakor]

It is a 2009 6th round pick.

[Rastak]

Packers get a 6th and fritz's guy goes to the Saints?

[Scott Campbell]

It was a 2009 6th round pick.

That seems like a pretty good deal.

I do have some KC and the Sunshine Band here...I should crank that.....except the wife would get pissed.

shake shake shake?

Really, considering the state of the board and what we've picked so far in the seventh, trading it for a 2009 sixth makes perfect sense.

Here's the call:
"Hey Ted, this is the Saints GM. We really need your pic in the 7th."
"Hmm," - TT is rolling today. "What's your offer?"
"A round of golf and a free lunch."
"No such thing as a free lunch," TT ponders.
"Well how about you realize you are just gonna cut this poor sucker - we may actually need a WR."
"MMM, lunch" - TT
"You've already traded in your division, now you want to give another conference foe an opportunity," -advises one of TT's cronies.
"lunch" - TT, "you have a deal"

:P

Hmm... possible reason for the Swain pick: Staring at a list of guys he would consider as an undrafted FA, Swain (bein a WR) was the one guy who would NEVER EVER EVER come here out of his own volition. I mean, if you're an undrafted WR looking to make a NFL roster, Green Bay is probably the last team in the NFL that you would choose to sign with.

[sepporepi]

We can still deal him for another 2009 pick , if he shines in preseason.

Green Bay Packers Draft Picks
Rd 2 - #5(36) Jordy Nelson (WR) Kansas St
Rd 2 - #25(56) Brian Brohm (QB) Louisville
Rd 2 - #29(60) Patrick Lee (CB) Auburn
Rd 3 - #28(91) Jermichael Finley (TE) Texas
Rd 4 - #3(102) Jeremy Thompson (DE) W Forest
Rd 4 - #36(135) Josh Sitton (OT) C Florida
Rd 5 - #15(150) Breno Giacomini (OT) Louisville
Rd 7 - #2(209) Matt Flynn (QB) LSU

Well, how does this draft look to you? Time will tell what the impact is. As many have said, since Green Bay had few needs and not much player movement (save the huge retirement, but had a successor in place of course) there were probably going to be less picks, and less guys who were drafted to have to depend on right away.

Nelson, Lee and Finley make the biggest year one contributions, while the other draftees get into the system and get comfortable.
