OFFICIAL DRAFT DAY THREAD FOR THE SUPERBOWL CHAMPION GB PACKERS

[Bretsky]

BIG DAY IS HERE..........WHAT WILL Ted rompin stompin Thompson do ??

Your guess is as good as mine. Does he shock the world again and trades up again to get a future star who is falling (Bowers), does he let a star player fall into his lap like Mark Ingram and the NFL gets to scream how the rich get richer, or does he take advantage of some piss poor team in desperate need of getting a competent QB in the NFL.

That Great Draft Day is here, and Teddy should be on the clock in about nine hours. All Hail TT, who brought us a title.

Now go find us some other stars !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IF anybody has the ability to do so, please call or text Rastak and give him an official invitation to once again lead this thread and copy and paste analysis of each pick.

If anybody has the ability to do so, please call or text PBMax and tell him to get the heck back in here.

Let's get ready to rock Packer Fans. It's a great day to be pick #32. Let's hope we are hear a few more times in this decade.

[Bretsky]

Just a couple random comments because odds are TT might do some dealings this weekend. Who might he deal with ?

We have two GM's out there who TT has worked closely with off the top of my head.....Reinfeldt from Tennessee and Schneider from Seattle.......for whatever reason TT has often reached out, traded with, and up to this point owned the Hoody in the last two deals.

Would not surprise me to see trader Ted wheeling with that crew again

SOLID ARTICLE TO GET U PUMPED UP

[Bretsky]

The Packers also are extremely interested in the athletically gifted Da'Quan Bowers, the Clemson defensive end who has been eliminated by many teams because of micro-fracture surgery on his knee Jan. 4.

Bowers, a top-10 talent, could slide into the 20s, and if he does, there's nothing to stop Thompson from making a charge to procure him. Bowers would contribute immediately as a rusher in all sub-packages as he learns to play right outside linebacker opposite Clay Matthews.

In time, the 285-pound Bowers might grow into a starter at end in the base defense.

Other late first-round candidates at outside linebacker, in no particular order, would be Akeem Ayers, Brooks Reed and Justin Houston. Some teams think end Adrian Clayborn also might project to linebacker.

Remaining at 32 wouldn't appear to hold much promise for Thompson unless the pre-eminent running back, Alabama's Mark Ingram, was to fall all that way. Some personnel men think that very well could happen because almost no teams other than Miami (15) and New England (17, 28) appear in need of a runner.

"That's a possibility," said Eric DeCosta, director of player personnel for the Baltimore Ravens. "It would just be a great pick for them. I think he's a great player."

Acquaintances of Thompson say he has really liked Ingram and his hard-nosed style of running since the fall. Some teams are more concerned with the degenerative changes in Ingram's left knee, but like most teams, Green Bay hasn't red-flagged him.

"Didn't Thurman Thomas have a bad knee?" said one scout, correctly remembering when Thomas slipped to Buffalo in the second round in 1988. "He's in the Hall of Fame.

"Could they be that lucky? It would be an unbelievable pick if they got Ingram."

the raiders are said to be in love with kaepernick, if there is a run early on QB's like seems to be the hot subject right now then the raiders could be looking to jump up from #48 to get back ahead of many other teams that need qb's. and as we all know, the raiders love to overpay. we might be able to get that #48 and later round pick and their first next year

if you draft ingram what do you do with grant and starks? keeping all three is a waste IMO, do you trade them, do either have any real value?

[mraynrand]

I'm betting TT trades up. Don't know who he wants, but with the depth of the roster, he has the freedom to reach up about 10 spots if he chooses.

and remember kids no matter how dumb TT's pick might seem at the time, it does work

and it could always be worse
