OFFICIAL FIRST ROUND DRAFT DAY THREAD

[smuggler]

we traded 2 fourths to move up 9 spots

philly them traded a 4th and a 6 to move up 3 spots

we got hosed again

These seem about on par, no?

[red]

WELL.......I WANTED A DOMINANT DEFENSE


Huge infusion of new talent

as the offense continues its slow death

[Zool]

Nice move by Phily

I iike Savage a lot , but hard to imagine him rated over Dillard

Unless they had S over OL for priority?

[smuggler]

Ravens may have wanted Savage and then traded down when he went.

Definitely see the Ed Reed in his game. Good trade for us if he remotely approaches that.

CAN WE HAVE A REDO

And trade our 4th to move from 12 o 10 and take Bush ? )))

I like savage a lot... wanted him or Thornhill... but nothing can make up for the Gary fiasco... he'll be out of the league in 3 years.

Is there anyone in the Packer universe that is saying "Wow, Gute sure nailed it with his 2 first round picks"?

So you are indicating we draft for need and ignore BPA ? Actually that makes sense today

yep. And probs figured they could get any of the second tier O-linemen with their #2 or #3.

No. I believe we actually got the better of this trade according to draft charts.
30 (196) + 114 (25) + 118 (23) = 242
21 = 261

maybe, just seems bad

move up a tier at need position.

But as Mike Sherman demonstrated, you cannot be wrong. Your pick must work out or you are hosed.

I am bookmarking this one.

It always works out better when we hate the draft here.

[wthigoot]

We need a guy to play the deep middle. This guy can do that. Fast. Smart. Hits. Tackles. Similar style player to my fav safety, earl Thomas.

Very similar to Josh Jackson but already trained at Safety. Good at pass breakups and got a few interceptions. Josh Jackson probably staying at CB then. They are getting ballhawks, maybe focusing on getting turnovers?
