  • "PACKERS in PRIME POSITION TO TRADE DOWN IN DRAFT

    Just once in Ted Thompson’s 12 drafts for the Green Bay Packers has the general manager traded out of the first round.
    TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

    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.

      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
        With that lawless crowd
        While the killers in high places
        Say their prayers out loud
        But they've summoned, they've summoned up
        A thundercloud
        They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

          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.

            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.

                    Nothing is guaranteed...we can take that 1st and turn it into a high 2nd and 3rd round and be able to pick up two quality cornerbacks in this draft.

                        And IIRC, that one time was the year they drafted Jordi. I'll accept that!

                          yup, thats the one

                          sat around all day waiting for that pick, and the guys i wanted were there for the taking

                          luckily, it wasn't like it is today where you have to wait a whole day for round 2

                              Trading up can also mean getting some extra #2's and #3's for your #4, #5's, #6 and #7, right?
