2006 Live DRAFT Thread

[CyclonePackFan]

Where are our 3 3rds? It only looks like we have 2 2nds and 2 3rds.

67, 75, 93

[Fritz]

TRADE SUMMARIES:

PACKERS TRADE: #36, #37 (Javon Walker), #139
PACKERS GET: # 47, #52, #75, #93, #148

POINTS TRADED: 540 + 530 + 36.5 = 1106.5
POINTE RECEIVED: 430 + 380 + 215 + 128 + 32.3 = 1185.3

So we came ahead of on this trade.

Before we had 1 2nd rounder, 1 3rd rounder, 1 5th rounder
Now we have 2 2nd rounders, 3 3rd rounders, 1 5th rounder

Thank you for the summary!

Once again the formula doesn't mean shit to me this time around

However, an extra three picks DOES mean something to me.

The 2006 Rookie Packers.... We won't know ANYBODY. Boom or bust.

[outflow]

Wouldn't be surprised if he picks up a fourth as well.

You think?

[pacfan]

D. Williams, WR from Oregon?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Tank, TT is kicking serious ass. We're going to get a pile of quality players with all these picks. Instead of hoping Chad Jackson pans out, you've got two or three guys that have that chance.

And JWalk was going to be a cancer. To get a high second rounder for that is good, esp. given his injury.

Name one WR better than walker thompson can get out of this draft. name one.

instead of quality, thompson is going for quantity. that is the work of a fuck up. fuck fuck fuck. i cant stop say fuck cos thompson keeps fucking up. fuck.

Value of a pro-bowl receiver who refuses to play for your team == 0
Value of a receiver drafted > 0

Fine, tell me how thompson can find a better WR in this draft not named jackson.

The Walker trade

General manager Ted Thompson promised earlier today that the Green Bay Packers wouldn't dump Javon Walker in "a fire sale." On the surface, trading a Pro Bowl wide receiver for a second-round draft pick would seem to qualify as a fire sale.

But there's no word yet on whether the Denver Broncos have reached agreement with Walker on a new contract. If not, the Broncos own Walker's rights only for next season. Also factor in that Walker is coming off an ACL injury and, at this point, it would be hard to call the deal a steal for the Broncos.

[Bretsky]

No one should be surprised by what TT is doing here. The draft is his "thing" and he wants as many picks as he can. He's getting good value in the process. Teams get hot and bothered, like Sherman used to, and focus on a certain player and overpay to get them. Given the many "needs" of this Packer team coming into the draft, acquiring more picks is huge.

Of course, the trick of all this is TT hitting on these extra picks when he chooses. We are either seeing the initial foundation of a SB quality team being picked in this draft....or TT will find himself run out of town in a few years. There is no in between here.

THE NAME PLAYERS ARE COMING OFF THE BOARD LIKE CRAZY; YOU ARE RIGHT.

I LIKE THE MOVES BUT I WANT TO SEE HOW TT USES THE PICKS BEFORE PRAISING HIM OR TRASHING HIM.

Walker trade - another look

Packers trade Javon Walker to Broncos for pick No. 37.

The Packers then traded pick No. 37 and pick No. 139 to the Falcons for pick Nos. 47, 93, and 148.

In essence, after both deals, the Packers traded Walker for a second- (47) and third-round pick (93).

Lol watch TT pull on all the WR's that are left. Williams, Stovall, Aramashadou, Hass. lol it would be funny, he might be able to find a bright spot.

[No Mo Moss]

Wouldn't be surprised if he picks up a fourth as well.

You think?

Gms really like the fourth rd. It gives them a chance to look at their boards and re-order them and see where they are.

[Bretsky]

so when do we pick again?

we now have every pick in the 7th round....

47

LMFAO

Ok thats fine, but it remains to be seen who they take with the extra picks. I would feel alot better about all of this if they would have ended up with Jimmy Williams now that Walker is out.
