Hypothetical here. I know it's not going to happen, but if the Packers were to trade their 1st pick for Michael Turner, draft S Eric Weddle (or another highly rated S) with their 2nd pick, trade their 3rd pick for Randy Moss, and add a couple of corners later in the draft, how much of a contender in the NFC do you think they would be?

QB Brett Favre
RB Michael Turner
FB Brandon Miree
WR Donald Driver, Randy Moss, Greg Jennings
TE Bubba Franks, Donald Lee
OT Chad Clifton, Mark Tauscher
OG Daryn Colledge, Jason Spitz
OC Scott Wells

DE Aaron Kampman, Cullen Jenkins
DT Ryan Pickett, Corey Williams
LB A.J. Hawk, Nick Barnett, Brady Poppinga
CB Charles Woodson, Al Harris, Frank Walker, Will Blackmon, rookies
S Nick Collins, Eric Weddle

Would this team get you excited?

[Chubbyhubby]

:P My guess is that the Packers will address D first round. Either Saftey or CB. Go after RB in the 3rd or 4th. Draft someone from a very unknown school no one has ever of before.

No, someone mentioned Howard Dean in another forum and I was inspired. Rest assured after broomball Friday night I am hitting the Shiner Bock hard, and whatever is left of the keg is joining me for the draft, followed by Brewers vs. Astros at the Juice Box.

It's gonna be a hell of a weekend.

[MJZiggy]

See? I was close. Just Bock instead of JD.

Shiner is like moonshine. Great stuff.

I HEAR THE MUSIC

DREAMER.......DADADADA........YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A DREAMER........ETC

Yes, I'd be excited about the team. But now hear the above tune run through your head as you think about it

[Guiness]

This isn't a very deep draft. I'm not expecting big things.

Now wait just a minute. You're one of the PRIMARY guys preaching at me to "wait for the draft". Now you're not expecting big things?

what do you think I've been bitching about for the last 3 months?

Jennings, this is the LAST big hope. We don't get guys here, WE PLAY WITH HOLES IN 2007.

You better start praying. Now.

And we're off!!!

I'll still remember the profanities (from HW?) after the selection of Collins a couple years ago...

Draft

I firmly believe without a doubt that this draft is the defining moment for Teddy. True, this is not a draft filled with super-star players, but it is a draft loaded with above avg players.

The reason I believe it's crucial to Thompson's future is that he need's to show a team that compete for a SB in year 5 of his regime. If a GM can't accomplish that in 5 years then he is a failure. I still believe a GM with balls can do it in 3, but hey that's just me.

This is year 3 of the snapper's reign and he need's to start showing tangible gains. 8-8 may appease some but the great majority of fans want more than just avg.

I still say and it's a fact that even the most ardent TT lovers can't refute, Teddy's crucial weakness is not having a plan b. He would'nt deal with Walker, so we suffered through no deep threat and weakness at WR. He did'nt have the for-sight to realize that when he signed Green for another year that if AG had a good season, he would command more money on the market. Sorry, Morency is not my idea of a solid plan B and judging from the remarks made by a good majority of NFL scouts about Morency being a "joke as a #1 back, I'm not alone in that belief.

So this draft is crucial. At the very least by what-ever means necessary, Thompson has to come out of this with a solid #3 Wr and a #1 RB. He need's to add some depth. He cannot miss on any of his first 5 picks IMO.

He sat on his hands while other GM's improved the talent level of their teams through FA, now he had better show us why!

I agree with most of what you said and yes this is a curial draft for TT. I also agree that we need another WR and a number 1 back, but to be honest I would rather him take the BPA then pick a player just because it's a need. I just want TT to pick a player who is going to be good and be a solid starter for a long time no matter the position. That’s why I think he should of re-signed Green because at least we would have options going to this draft. Now he is almost forced to take a back at some point.

People will always complain.

[Partial]

Man, I wish there was some indication as to whether Calvin or JaMarcus goes #1. I have to prepare my mock draft before 3pm tomorrow, and it is impossible to tell at this stage of the game. Right now, it has to be JaMarcus, but with possibly trades on the horizon it is impossible to predict.
