ESPN's Mel Kiper - Packers had best day!

[gbpackfan]

At the end of the draft, Mel Kiper said the Packers had his favorite draft - improving their 3-4 D. Loved the picks of Raji and Matthews.

I know it doesn't mean much, but kind of fun to report!

i was worried about the lost picks, but i just heard tt's interview, and he said somethhing along the lines that he wasn't all that excited about the 2nd and 3rd round guys

i think i'm just use to having a bunch of mid level guys to look over, now i only have 2 high level guys

my brain doesn't know how to work that

[gbpackfan]

I had two reactions.

1. Loved the pick because the player is great.

2. Hated the pick because I love waiting for our picks to come. The draft is so exciting. And we had two less picks to wait for. Which sucks. But this is a stupid reason not to like the trade.

that's cool. i went out for a while and came back to find tt had traded up to get matthews. wow. that came out of nowhere.

Of course they had a good day; looks like we have two new defensive starters

that's cool. i went out for a while and came back to find tt had traded down to get matthews. wow. that came out of nowhere.

traded up gary, traded UP. :P

If ever there was a poll that needed the "other" option, it's this one.

2 new d starters that were both areas of need

win/win

I wish the season started today... I can't wait to see the 3-4 in action...

Ha ha. No doubt! But it is like that for a reason. What a bunch of fruits! Ha ha. :P

This is just one time I hope a T2 move pans out like a Sherman trade up (Walker or Barnett, not BJ or Donnel Washington)

dang it. that's what i meant. i'll fix it.

forgot to vote too. i liked the first day but voted for the nutsack smash. i'd have liked it more with crabtree...plus he's got one of those faces that just invite...

what if the whole switch to a 3-4 has been one giant smoke screen?

we have a pretty solid looking 4-3 lineup right now after today

he didn't trade up for barnett, but I know what you mean.....

why would they be throwing out smokescreens about that? at this point i don't see why anyone would give a crap what we're running.
