I said it in shout but I didn't want you to miss my positivity... You want your TE to run like a DEER, this guy just runs like a DE.

Yup...0-4... will be remembered as the single worst draft in TT's tenure in Green Bay. I'm not a troll, I just HATE what happened tonight and yesterday with a passion.

Just hoping guys staying healthy and some young guys taking jumps will help us because these guys aren't going to be any this year. Well, Dix may be by default...he can't be worse than MD Jennings even though he played for the Tide and their D players under Saban have not been even adequate pros.

You can't trade a compensatory so consider this the Packers taking a long shot on somebody. Sure handed and precise route runner are two descriptions I hear a lot about him.

Now Zero being a bitch about draft picks pisses me off!

The thing is, we need all these positions.

I'm still not convinced TE was a need. Quarless seemed to be rounding into form, and you have 2 years invested in Bostick - J-Mike's "mini-me" based on what everyone says. Bostick, too, seemed to be coming around as a contributor before he was put on IR. I still think you can get buy with those two at TE now that you actually have a running game to help out the offense. Even if Finley does not return (looking next to impossible as things currently stand), its not like there was a glaring hole at TE. we had players that could contribute.

This Draft has been a total dud thus far.

1. Ha Ha is not very impressive, IMO, both the safety's takes in R1 last year are better than he is.

2. Adams, is an un-athletic WR without great size to compensate. To add salt to the wound, Arizona stole Troy Niklas right in front of this pick.

3. Thornton.... WHO?

4. Rodgers, a position of need... But.. What is he? A WR? TE? He doesn't look particularly good at either.

It probably wasn't you Laser but my gosh I could have sworn all of packer nation wanted us to get one of those two top safeties, and then when we do, it was like we made a huge mistake or something. Packer fans are starting to confuse me a little bit.

2. Shiiiiit, homie, can the Packers sign you? Anyone who can say that a 6'1 person does not have "great size" must be a friggin beast. You have an agent, right? Also, if only Greg Jennings and Randall Cobb had size... they aren't even close to 6"1. If only they "had size" they could have been SO much better...

3. Khyri Thornton. I've seen people ask "who" when they fail to hear something, but this may be the first time I've heard someone ask "who" when about a thousand sites would tell you Thornton's first name.

4. So... Rodgers fits a position of need, BUT HE HAS NO DEFINED POSITION?! Please tell me I'm not the only one who sees the contradiction in that.

I'm joking around Laser. Only partly, though.

This isn't how it was drawn up for sure. A bottom of the barrel reach TE and reach DL in Round 3. Two uninspiring physical specimens in Rounds 1 and 2. Even in the 5th or 6th, I wouldn't have been too excited about what happened in Round 3. If you are you have to really love the koolaid.

Ok nobody can say this is a solid pick because this guy is anything but solid.

I think the rationale for this pick is that having already experienced all the possible injuries you can have in football this guy is actually inmortal and will never get hurt again.

When he flipped the page that had the 2nd round players on it he ended up on the page with the 4th-5th round prospects instead of the 3rd round prospects. No one in the draft room had the guts to tell him to check his notes.

Now let's say you are d-lineman from a pseudo-team like the Lions, Bears or Vikes. You blanket whoever our center will be and TJ and you find a Rodgers t-shirt, you pull hard, take the guy down only to realize the evil smile of Richard Rodgers while Aaron scrambles for 20 yards untouched.

Evil genius Teddy, evil genius.

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.
