MCGINN---McMillen Wrong from the Start

[bobblehead]

Note to self:

How could anyone mistake a German citizen (generally) for a Japanese citizen? Puzzleing.

Its a scene from Animal House. You don't stop a man on a roll for a factual mistake. I would have to look back but I believe someone posted that TT drafted Driver or something like that. I was responding tongue in cheek using a popular movie reference.

Edit: Ron Wolf drafted Driver, but the point was that big talent comes from small schools sometimes. My joke was 'he's on a roll, and his basic point is accurate'

And puzzling doesn't have an e

I got the joke!

Should I pursue the "As Director Of Player Personnel TT may have had something to do with the drafting of Driver" angle? Nah.

It's so hard looking at Ted Thompson's Drafts to simply pick out one guy as a bust or near deemed bust. Omitting those already mentioned ie DT Justin Harrell). Also I'll only look at Ted Thompson Drafts from 2005 to 2010.

*** The 2005 Draft and TT has 11 Picks: The Ohh My GOD...I Found a Saviour Draft.

Aaron Rodgers !! Nick Collins... 'a star lost' and Terrence Murphy (a sad misfortune ... see Nick Collins)

11 minus 3 = Nothing much for the Packers future.

*** The 2006 Draft ... TT has 12 Picks: The ... Nice Try TT draft.

AJ Hawk, Greg Jennings and Johnny Jolly were good Picks. Abdul Hodge, Cory Rodgers and Ingle Martin all were certain disappointments.

What's the sense in naming any of the other six.

*** The 2007 Draft and TT gets 11 Picks:

Question: Where do you rank this Ted Thompson Draft?

JH ... ohh Boy!

RB Brandon Jackson and S Aaron Rouse stuck around for awhile. G Allen Barbre ? WR David Clowney = BUST.

Solid Picks: James Jones and Mason Crosby and he was great in our Super Bowl run...Desmond Bishop.

The other four !? Off the top of your head name any of them?

*** The 2008 Draft and TT has 'only' 9 picks...He's slipping on his number of picks....but do you put water in your beer ... wine?

This may arguably be Ted Thompson's best overall draft. What do you thin? Some will now strictly look at TT and his first Packer Draft >>> Aaron Rodgers and how could anyone argue against that?

Jordy Nelson,; Jermichael Finley; Josh Sitton; and Matt Flynn

BUSTS: BBBBuhhh...Brian Brohm - He's signed with the CFL Hamilton Tiger-Cats or was this year; Pat Lee and Breno Giacomini may all be deemed that?

*** The 2009 Draft - TT has 'only' 8 Picks ... Nice going TT !

How did he do? I like this draft overall in terms of value for the Packer 'D'. An infusion of talent that certainly helped the Packers to another Super Bowl win.

I like CM II and TJ Lang.

Still on the roster Brad Jones and BJ Raji. Neither impresses me although many feel that along with CM II ...Raji and Brad Jones are important to the success of the Packers 3-4 'D'. I wonder if TT will hold onto these two men? Raji feels he's expensive. Raji appears to me to be out of Green Bay for weeks now. I watch his play carefully when I can record games. TT has a tendency to hang onto some too long.

*** The 2010 Draft and TT has 'only 7 Picks' and he does well:

Bryan Bulaga ; Mike Neal ; Morgan Burnett ; Andrew Quarless ; Marshall Newhouse; James Starks and C. J. Wilson are still all on the Roster.

Enough said about that draft....as we need another season to assess it more accurately. Well this...Morgan Burnett seems off of late or since his new contract and OT Marshall Newhouse is slipping badly. James Starks isn't used much at RB. TE Andrew Quarless sees to be picking it up as this season progresses. With Jermichael Finley lost to a severe injury he's gaining valuable playing experience.

GO PACK GO !

When looking at the drafts, I'm not sure you can ignore a guy who started 15 games as a rookie, and started 76 games over his 5 years with the Pack --> that's what Daryn Colledge did.

I didn't comment specifically on Daryn Colledge or Jason Spitz... Green Bay Packers (2006−2010) from the 2006 Draft and they are today still playing NFL Vet's.

Jason Spitz was on Seattle's roster this season and with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2011−2012).

Daryn Colledge has been with the Arizona Cardinals (2011–present).

Tony Mandarich!
Drafting (or not) players the masses cry out for cuts both ways.


Drafting players with injury issues isn't a new thing:
Mark D'Onofrio was supposed to be pretty good. Don't think he ever played.
IIRC Gary Berry had spinal issues too.

JUSTIN HARRELL !!!!

Defensive much?

Was not a B slam, just a recall back to the days of disbelief of relative unknown Jennings being Thompson's choice over Chad. I don't think anyone expected that one.

McMillan is a necessary corrective in this regard; even Ted misses on small school guys. There is nothing magical except his willingness to take that risk.

Campbell was the other side of that, wasn't he? Big school guy who had success in college?

There's a guy named Rich Campbell who covers the Bears for the Chicago Tribune, I wonder if that's him?

The Packers' Rich Campbell became a minister, and worked at that for quite a while. Then, he left the ministry and went to work for the newspaper in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Might he have gone from there to Chicago?

The guy apparently has a good sense of humor. I read about an interview he did one time where he claimed to be insulted that Packer fans didn't seem to consider him to be a bigger bust than Tony Mandarich.

I remember reading something else from him where he said in retrospect, he's happy he didn't play much. He was talking about McMahon, they played together in high school and were drafted in the first round one year apart. He said he was envious at the time, but now considers himself fortunate to not have played during a time when the league didn't care about head injuries.
