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.

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.

Zero2Cool (1h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (1h) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (1h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (1h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (11h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (12h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (12h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (12h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (13h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (13h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (13h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (13h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (13h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (13h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (13h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (13h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (13h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (13h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (13h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (13h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (13h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (14h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (14h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (14h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (14h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (14h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (14h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (14h) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it
