Just an example of one of the best teams in the leagues lesser drafts.

We got Hawk, Jennings, Jolly, Spitz, Colledge and Blackmon out of that same draft.


We also traded twice with NE.

We got Jennings. They got Chad Jackson
We got Matthews. We'll have to look into it and see how that plays out for them.



I really don't think we're in bad hands. Over time, continually making good draft picks adds up.

I remember how everyone was flipping out about not getting Chad Jackson, I was one of the few who were glad we got Greg Jennings instead.

I was one of the ones flipping out about ol' Chad. I was way wrong.

That's some funny shit. I was at packersnews.com at the time, and most people were freaking out that he passed up Chad Jackson for "some no name from a small school" too. They thought Belicheck took advantage of our stupid new GM.

Nothing like some facts from the past to make some folks turn red.

I'd love to hear what the ol' Anti-Polar Bear would say after seeing that old thread.

No, wait, I wouldn't.
