What others has he drafted as a Packer?


Anyone know the ones for the Seahawks that he's responsible for?

Yes because no one but the GM does any scouting or makes any calls :pottytrain2:

Thompson wasn't the GM in Seattle... but he was the #2... and the GM was the head coach was normally very busy with coaching... so so one else had to run the every day GM job... I wonder who that might of been hmmm...

I'm not sure... but who ever it was believed in drafting and growing their own players and not bringing in too many big named FAs. Hmmm that doesn't sound like Thompson MO at all... after all he's all about grabbing big named FAs and trading away draft picks.... :whipitgood:

Oh, I read a comment that Mike Holmgren said Ted ran the drafts for a few years in Seattle. I must have misunderstood.

Holmgren was official the GM on the Seahawks at the time. He let Thompson run the show though...

And he built the Seahawks almost the same way he has the Packers... draft, draft and more draft with a few small trades as well...

Thanks alot and here I was hoping we would win the Super Bowl sometime soon, now you have me thinking we will be drafting in the top 5 the next few years.

I feel the doom now, Hopefully we have a lock out next year so we don't have to suffer thru a 4-14 season.


I remember people saying Ted Thompson built the Seahawks and I have to ask what the hell did he build?
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

wikipedia:

Thompson worked in Seattle as Vice President of Football Operations; also heading Seattle's scouting department and running the draft boards. He worked alongside former Packers and Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren; who was Seattle's GM at the time.

During Thompson's 2000-2004 tenure in Seattle, the Seahawks advanced to the playoffs twice. In 2005, following Thompson's departure to the Packers, the Seahawks had their best success in team history, reaching the Super Bowl. Many of the players on Seattle's Super Bowl team were acquired under Thompson's direction.

In an interview with Mike Homgren in 2009, Holmgren noted how important Thompson was to Seattle's success saying; "Once Ted Thompson came on board and we settled down a little bit, we started making good decisions."

They were quite famously robbed of that Superbowl, if you will recall. And if they would have kept Ted Thompson around they might have even gone to one or two more. Ted Thompson has been quoted more than once as saying, "We would like to win a few." Well, this is how you build a dynasty.
How many other teams could lose 11 players, including 6 starters (counting Johnny Jolly) and still contend? Not many, and we have Ted Thompson to thank for it.
And btw, Brandon Jackson can get it done if used properly. He's been showing an extra gear lately. If he got at least 20 carries a game, he might even get into a groove.
