Buffalo Just takes Donte Whitner!!!! What the hell is going on here?!

I thought he was a top 20 pick. Not a top 8!!!!

Good it just lets another player slip down to the Packs 2nd rounder!!

Lions - Leinart
Cardinals - Jay Cutler

Yea, a bit surprising.
Lions at 9....hmmmm, they just signed a bevey of QB's. Huff is gone.
Davis gone. Maybe they take Cutler or leinert.

[Tarlam!]

Any chance Cutler fall to us in the 2nd?

Quotes from the GM
Some notes and quotes from Packers GM Ted Thompson after picking A.J. Hawk:

- "By the far the best athlete at his position."

- "He can play any of the three spots."

- Regarding moving up or down in the draft: "We had discussions with teams to do both. I was inclined to do it," ... but was afraid of losing out on Hawk.

- "We went through a lot of pain and heartache to pick at this No. 5 spot."

- "I felt strongly A.J. Hawk was the guy I wanted."

- Regarding taking Hawk over TE Vernon Davis: "He (Davis) would have been a good fit here. But we felt like at this point and time....we just thought A.J. Hawk was the best fit."

What are you, an idiot. Dont you know the importance of having an all pro S? You must think like thompson and want to draft a slow LB instead.

This is the goofiest draft that I ever witnessed!!! The Packers pick is one of the most logical of them all.

TT just said he doubts Walker will be traded this weekend. He is standing firm on not being on the low end of a trade. basicallythey let JW explore options as the "due dillegence thing to do"

Less than zero.

I swear I just heard something about the Packers and Bush on NFL Network in the background. Anyone confirm?

Great TT quotes.


This pick puts him in higher regard in my mind. Sure, he could have gone for the freakish offensive athlete, but he went for the blue collar scrappy straight up baller. I love it!

What, they called the Packers "Bush" on the NFL network?
