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 (12-May) : And for Ian Rapoport to announce Saints send 1st and 2nd rounder to Packers for Malik Willis.

dfosterf (12-May) : *Elgersma*

dfosterf (12-May) : Today would be a good day to discover the Pack signed Taylor Engersma, the Canadian QB

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.
