Oh we could mention players like Williamson and Underwood as well.. or the draft card debacle.. two years in a row.. or well I am sure with some thought I could add more.

The Vikings have had there draft day blunders.. I think I shall ponder that thought on the way home.. :evil grin:

While we're at it 93z, I got to admit, the Green Bay Packers usually only draft what is fondly known by you guys as "Packer People". You know, high moral character, Church goin', all around nice guys.

The year is 1974 and in the late rounds of the NFL draft the Green Bay Packers draft a WR out of Portland State.............one Randall Woodfield. :shock:

And I will raise you Onterrio "The Whizzinator " Smith.. the steal of the 2003 draft. ;)

On Woodfield.. at least the Packers had the intelligence to cut him... albeit it took "several" indecent exposure incidents.

Dang guys, the Herschel Walker fiasco. That hurts....that really hurts.

By the way if any of you know the whereabouts of one Mike Lynn, master-mind behind the Walker debacle, let me know.
I would still like to de-nut him, hang him, boil him in oil, then have him drawn and quartered.

Deion Sanders coined it as the Herschel Walker shibacle. You know, when shit and debacle collide.

I will call your raise, and raise you one Jamal Reynolds............pride of the Packers 2001 1st round (10th overall) draft pick! :thumbright:
(taken before Todd Heap, Drew Brees, Reggie Wayne )

Out of Florida State University, Jamal Reynolds had proclaimed himself "the greatest defensive end the world has ever seen, period." In his senior year, Reynolds won the Lombardi Award and was a finalist for the College Defensive Player of the Year Award. He recorded 12 sacks and 58 tackles during that season.

The Packers were so enamored of him, they traded their first round pick (#17) and QB Matt Hasselbeck to the Seattle Seahawks for the chance to take Reynolds. Jamal Reynolds was Ron Wolf's last first-round draft pick with the Packers, leaving a nasty blemish on Wolf's stellar reputation as the Packers' GM.

After only 3 seasons with the Packers and recording only 14 tackles , Green Bay attempted to trade Reynolds to the Indianapolis Colts, but he failed the physical and the Packers released him 10 days later. The following season, Cleveland picked him up, but he was cut before the season started.

That's exactly what we tried to do, but you can't force a player to stay on your PS. The Bills offered him a roster spot and playing time, obviously he took it.

I kick it again with the 2005 draft for the Vikings.. set with 2 first round picks they select... Williamson and James.. both gave the Vikes 2 career starts... :lol:

Then throw in the waste at 3rd and 4th picks.. it has the makeup of one of the worst draft classes ever.


Round	Pick	Name        	Pos           	Starts	CG
1	7	Troy Williamson  WR   	        1       	49
1	18	Erasmus James 	DE             	1       	28
2	49	Marcus Johnson 	G              	1       	53
3	80	Dustin Fox   	DB                    0        	12
4	112	Ciatrick Fason 	RB                    0       	18

I mean Williamson couldn't a damn thing... leading some to believe he was blind. But the boy sure could run... was Al running your 05' draft? ;)

But you're missing the funny part, they draft James and Williamson leaving us Aaron Rodgers. I can see why, having the great Dante Culpepper and all!

Mucky Tundra (31-May) : @ByRyanWood Without Elgton Jenkins and Zach Tom, #Packers starting OL: Rasheed Walker, Jordan Morgan, Josh Myers, Sean Rhyan, Andre Dillard.

Martha Careful (31-May) : I have never seen an OTA, but who is lining up at LT and RG with starters? or is it all individual drills?

Zero2Cool (30-May) : Bears are the first team to be selected for Hard Knocks

dfosterf (29-May) : Andy Herman and his Pack a day podcast put up GB strengths yesterday. This morning he did weaknesses. They are both very good.

Zero2Cool (25-May) : Yes.

beast (24-May) : Does he say what it is?

Zero2Cool (22-May) : Savage played last half of season with tear in rotator cuff

Zero2Cool (22-May) : SISSIES!!!!

Mucky Tundra (22-May) : Sounds like both Kraft and Tom were injuried before OTAs began

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Not serious but waiting for strength and conditioning coach referwnces.

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Tom and Kraft both injured(pectoral muscle),

Zero2Cool (20-May) : I feel similar about person and product/service.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
