Two questions

[HarveyWallbangers]

Were you upset with the Harrell pick?
Who did you want instead? One name that was available. No crazy trade scenarios. Get your vote on record.

I say no to the first.
I wanted Robert Meachem at the time of the draft, but I think Harrell is a fine pick.

[BallHawk]

Exactly the same as you.

[Lurker64]

No, but I was initially surprised.

Of people on the board at the time? I didn't really want any of them. Watching it live, I was hoping TT would trade down, but I would have been "OK" with Meacham, but the pick wouldn't have excited me. As a longshot I was hoping that Okoye might drop (like he did in the ESPN mock). Plausibly I was hoping that Leon Hall would have gotten taken before Revis so we could have drafted Revis at 16. I did not want Olsen, and I wasn't particularly high on Nelson.

I didn't even know the guy, so all my friends around me were laughing at the pick... Kind of embarrassed... Only one of my friends said he was a stud, but was injured all of last season so the highlights are 2 years old... So I was little better, but not that much...

NELSON!

but I was thinking we were getting Randy all along... Therefor...

robert Meachem would have been my pick also...

[Joemailman]

A little surprised, but not upset.

I would have taken Bowe.

[MJZiggy]

No, because I didn't know any better and figured TT would find a dark horse.

I just wanted a very good player. Seems like this kid might be one.

[Green Bud Packer]

blindsided but not upset. like lurker i was thinking t.t. would trade down. i was hoping for rice.

[Charles Woodson]

No, took me a few minutes to overcome the shock.

I really wanted Nelson

[4and12to12and4]

I'm fine with picking a d-lineman, the trenches are usually where games are won and lost in the NFL, and the "Superstars" get all the accolades for what the guys on the line ALLOW them to do. The more depth we have on both lines, the sooner we will be a SB contender again.

At the time of the draft, I was hoping TT would trade down for two mid to high 3rd round picks or get Hall or Meachum. But I was pissed when Revis was gone, and thought he was more worth 16 than Hall. So, after scratching my head wondering who the hell he was, it seems like a good pick. We shall see.

I have a whole rant about this in the post about Peter King's bullshit opinions on the first round.

[chain_gang]

Upset, no. Surprised yes sir. Harrell may be great, may be average, I can't hate the pick because he hasn't played a game.

I know I was pulling for Bowe out of LSU, just like his physical presence is the passing game, and not to mention his blocking skills as a WR. Seems like a tough guy and goes over the middle. He was in my opinion as close to a Sterling Sharpe(Player wise) as we were going to see. I am glad they passed on Meachem, yes he has speed, but I never really saw that type of speed in games. Sort of reminded me of Chad Jackson, Great timed speed, that doesn't translate over to game speed, also each for all their physical gifts only had one good year in college. Meachem didn't seem like a top redzone target either Bowe did with his physical play.

So yes I wanted to see Bowe drafted over Harrell, but I will take a wait and see approach.

I do expect to see a top 10 D this year, not because of Harrell, but because most of our D is very experienced and they have to carry this team, not Favre. We have to much money invested in our D to accept anything less.

[swede]

I was all WTF at first.

All along I could not make up my mind about who we should pick. I think I was rooting for Okoye to drop, but that fantasy didn't last long. I don't think I wanted a WR or an RB. I was still pulling for defense.

I'm feeling happier about the pick. The upside for Harrell could be quite good.

[packinpatland]

Honestly............ was upset and surprised, initially.
Guess I was like alot of people, wanted the Packers to do for Favre what the Patriots did/are doing for Brady.

Either a WR or a RB would have been nice.

This kid does not come with baggage. He may have been injured, but he's not now. So, come training camp, let' see what he brings.

Bottom line, it is what it is. May as well be positive about it.

I would have made the tarde with the Browns and had two number one picks next season in the top 14. This isn't crazy, TT turned this down!!!

[wist43]

Character issues aside - and I hate making that a condition - I love Lynch's talent.

His ten cent head may prevent him from ever being anything, but if his character checked out, I would have made an effort to trade up to #11 and taken Lynch.

That failing, I probably would have taken Meachem.

That said, upon further scrutiny, I like the Harrell pick... if he stays healthy, he has a chance to be a hell of a DT. Instantly, he became our best DT.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Name a player. We don't know what would have been an option. Give me an available player you would have drafted. We can all dream about this scenario or that, but let's hear who you would have taken.
