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!

dfosterf (10m) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (10m) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (12m) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16m) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (18m) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (18m) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (21m) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (22m) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (23m) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (53m) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (53m) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (53m) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (2h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (2h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (2h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (18h) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : Too bad camera's can't spot the ball as well.

Mucky Tundra (1-Apr) : So will the chain gang be gone completely or will they still be around as a backup or whatever?
