i think this is something we've all believed every year that the great white penny pincher has been GM
and thats what sucks about drafting towards the end every year, you sit around for 2 or 3 hours waiting for our pick, only for us to trade out of the first. night wasted

red, get your glasses un-fogged. This is the weekly entry in "things that won't happen but make for a great headline because fans believe it happens all the time" from JSO.Originally posted by red View Posti think this is something we've all believed every year that the great white penny pincher has been GM

To wit, the article self-refutes the headline in its first paragraph:
GREEN BAY - Just once in Ted Thompson’s 12 drafts for the Green Bay Packers has the general manager traded out of the first round.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

If TT doesn't have a 1st round grade on Watt though, I think it could happen. (see mymock draft)I can't run no more

If it does happen, its because this draft, while very, very deep, has very few first round locks. Its not because of the Packers needs or position.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostIf TT doesn't have a 1st round grade on Watt though, I think it could happen.

It's all perception, of course, but I see this draft as top heavy. Why wouldn't TT trade up? Go for quality instead of quantity. Get 4 or 5 first tier guys rather than 10 second tier.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Trading up can also mean getting some extra #2's and #3's for your #4, #5's, #6 and #7, right?One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics.
