Official 2007 Live Draft Thread

Really? If the BPA was an injured DT then this draft class is the worst in NFL history. Quinn was the BPA.

So you are in favor of carrying THREE QBs on the roster with first-round level salaries?

You, then, are an idiot. I can't recall any NFL teams since the advent of the salary cap who have invested that kind of money in three different QBs at the same time.

I think the only idiot would be the person who didn't read why I thought we should take Quinn. I said why several times. I never said to carry 3 starter salary QB's on the roster. And only an idiot would call an injured DT who has yet to play a full season of college ball a better player then Brady Quinn.

He did play a full season.

Wow...I just got home and I'm ready for bed. I listened to Rounds 2 and 3 on Sirius Radio. TT really sucked today. Green Bay may have had the worst draft out of any team in the league today. If we don't land Moss tomorrow....or in the next few days....I'll hate TT forever.

For those of you who are defending TT's selections, did you defend Sherman when he made his? Or did you bash him? Because in my mind, TT is not having a good day 1 because of his #1 pick. Jamal Renolds anyone?

Comparing an undersized defensive end not known for his toughness and form, to a supersized, tough player who has such good form florida had to double team him even he had only one functioning arm?

That wasn't the point. The point is TT didn't go BPA and everyone was all over Sherman for his drafting but TT get's a pass?

So how the hell are you going to NOT carry 3 starter salaries on the roster?

We can't move Rodgers (massive cap hit) so I guess you are suggesting we cut Favre.

Brilliant.

wow i was watching the yahoo vid on justin harrell. he made some impressive INTs. maybe thats why TT picked him

No, apparently Tennessee retired his number. That must be why.

[Charles Woodson]

Well, later guys look forward for my fireworks tommorow... And merlin let me leave you with one thought....

The reason why Harell is a good pick is that he opens up our defense in the fact that he takes alot of preasure off of Hawk, and Barnett so we can see there potential

If its any consolation I thought he should have taken Quinn, too. However, I don't think this guy will be bad. I actually think he could turn out to be a steal. I think Quinn is a steal as well.

Re: Bubble

I hate to burst anyone's bubble but Thompson did'nt make 1 pick that made us a better team. We had no need at DT and tacking a guy who has a history of injuries is just plain dumb. However, let's just hold our breath and HOPE he stays healthy.

The RB taken is not better than Morency and I'll bet anyone he won't be starting.

The WR is nothing different than Martin or Holliday. I find it funny that a few of the same people who derided Bowe for being slow, are boasting about this guy. This years version of C Rodgers.

Great saftey pick IF you have a cover saftey at the other spot. Sorry but coverage is'nt Nick's forte at the moment. Basic football 101 my friends. You don't run a scheme that puts your saftey in man coverage when he can't cover! We found that out the hard way with Manuel.

Those of you who think this draft is solid are just wishing and dreaming. After day 1 of the draft, Thompson did NOTHING to address any of our weakness. This is not a better football team. One more thing, a few of you have stated that fans can't know more than a GM. That's pure bullshit. The NFL is littered with GM's who were fired for making the wrong picks. Fan's who eat sleep and live football do have a good idea of player talent.

Be blind and trust in Teddy, but remember- lambs get slaughtered.......

In other words, TT didn't pick the guys you wanted.

First of all, you need a lesson in manners son. You don't call someone an idiot because they don't agree with you. Secondly, learn how the NFL works and find out about how to trade players before you get all sarcastic. The only thing brilliant here is that you can actually type a full sentence, other then that, you have a lot to learn.

I think that has a little more to do with the big #92 in the sky. RIP.

The point is that Thompson DID TAKE the guy he viewed as the BPA. Just because he didn't take the guy YOU think was the BPA does not mean he did not select the BPA on his board.

Thompson has said as much today...he viewed the kid as a top 10 pick in terms of talent.

[The Leaper]

First of all, you need a lesson in manners son. You don't call someone an idiot because they don't agree with you.

Then what in the hell do you call your criticism of Thompson?

Pathetic hypocrite.

I don't argue that the guy is bad. My argument is that he isn't a first round talent. He will now be paid as a first rounder and to be honest I think they guy is a reach. If he comes back healthy, he has some potential. His impact though will be minimal because we already have a decent DL. He may make it better, he may not.

Pittman and Bush both still available. Could be a lot of trade action at the start of the 4th round tomorrow.
