WHAT GRADE do you give TT thus far in DRAFTS

I have Nostradomus like qualities

[RashanGary]

We'll see. I think I know where it's going too. IF TT can do something about the DL and to a lesser extent the OL (hopefully Sitton is already part one of a two part solution that would replace Clifton adn Wells) I think they'll be heading upward, hopefully winning a SB but at least being competitive year after year.

[wist43]

JH, I think they'll be competetive... but being competetive and winning it all are two different things. They'll never win a championship with TT at the helm unless he learns on the job, and makes adjustments in his approach... don't ever see that happening.

He's a good talent evaluator, but he's far too rigid in his approach. I expect they'll be competetive, I expect they'll make the playoffs some years, but I don't expect they'll be a serious threat for the SB.

4-12...13-3 nuff said.

I give a B range overall:

2005: Only 3 starters here, but Collins and Rodgers are much above average.

2006: Great draft. Impact player in Jennings, very good player in Hawk (he'a not been healthy for much of this year), starting DT in Jolly, 2 starting offensive linemen, outstanding returner in Blackmon, reliable reserve in Moll.

2007: TT's worst looking draft so far. However, it's still early. Barbre could be a starter next year, or in the near future. I see Brandon Jackson having a bigger role next year. Justin Harrell will determine how this draft is eventually evaluated.

2008: Just too early. Jordy Nelson looks like a winner. Lee hasn't seen the field because of depth at CB. Sitton will probably start at RG next year. Too early to tell what we have in Thompson and Finley. Taking a backup QB with a 2nd round pick looks bad right now.

You said too much.

[The Leaper]

I'll give him a B...but that is mainly because you can't really determine the success of the 2007 or 2008 drafts yet fully.

Harrell is a potential bust in the making, which is going to be a blight on Thompson's record.

Clearly, Thompson can spot talent and can flesh out a roster with role players. The question is whether or not he can make a move UP the draft board to grab an impact player that he needs when possible.

Draft

Watch the difference between Beason and Hawk and then tell me how good Thompson is. Harrell is a complete and total bust. Can't even hold the point of attack. Anything more than a C is just total ignorance.......

[The Leaper]

Re: Draft

Anything more than a C is just total ignorance.......

Rodgers is a Pro Bowl caliber QB gotten in the late first...Jennings in a Pro Bowl caliber WR...ignoring those picks are equally dumb.

As I said, his grade will likely decline IMO as 2007 can be factored in completely.

[The Gunshooter]

Compared to Ron Wolf, TT sucks canal water. Wolf gives away more players than TT finds. Namely Hentrich, Paup, and Tony Bennett.

I'd say Larry Mccarren knows more about OL than you and he's pretty enamoured with Colledge right now. I spotted Colledges solid play earlier, but since my opinion is but one internet junkies, I choose to site Mccarren's opinion.

Spitz has been rock solid and is even better at center (where he'll eventually be when Sitton moves to guard and we replace mini-me Wells).


In short, yeah, I think those are really good picks. You shouldn't expect rookies to play great out of the gate and 2nd year players have a learning curve too. NOw that they've matured into NFL players they're doing a really good job, esspecially Colledge. HE's a really good player whether you want to get over yoru first impression or not.



As far as Poopy, yeah, that wasn't a great pick but a solid ST/Backup type player in the 4th round isn't bad. I like both Bishop and Hawk.

I have to give you props on Colledge and Spitz after the Carolina game. They both played well, Colledge in particular (though they couldn't get it done at the end of the game on the goal line).

But overall, solid games, and if they keep it up, I'll re-adjust my view of them.

I still say if he drafts so damn well, and if we're so damn deep, why do our STs suck so bad? Shouldn't they shine with all this talent?

Thompson starts his rebuilding process. Packers go 4-12. (Favre's only losing season! Thanx Ted)

Favre has an outstanding season, carrying a team that did not even have a running game for the first 6 weeks. Packers go 13-3.

Thompson sends Favre packing (no pun intended) in favor of Rogers. Packers now stand at 5-7.

Nuff said? Not Yet!
