The question I propose to myself:
Does that seem intriguing/exciting? It surely 'in any case' will not add so much confusion when I see a team take a pounding in any transaction.
Such pounding as I believed I saw TT and the Green Bay Packers take last week. That not just at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers. The Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos, both did a little bit of 49ers, to Ted Thompson and the Packers too. Based on all I had in terms of Draft Transaction Value.
It's 'the whole thing and this draft' and Ted Thompson's transactions.
Was it possible that he was in such a need to acquire additiional picks!?
He did trade up one time for what I see in review as his 'Crown/Shining Moment' in his draft. To acquire RB Johnathan Franklin.
Yes ... based on my 'justa fan participation and time investment ' in this draft. I loved TT's move right there. I loved it for the value and for the insurance on his pick at Rd. 2 #61 to acquire RB Eddie Lacy. Eddie Lacy's injury history should have been a concern for Ted Thompson. When I look at video of Eddie Lacy I'm impressed. I was more impressed with other RB options in this draft, in consideration of where they might be targeted.
All the same, I have to accept the value in Eddie Lacy Rd. 2 Pick#61.
My jury is still out deliberating on that 'whole' issue of:
Did TT give up too much in terms of value Vs acquiring picks.
I don't seek stubborn ....rather RIGHT-TRUTH.... for this:
GO PACKERS !
