How do know Uffda isn't a troll? He only has 99 posts.

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

The thing is, we need all these positions. Would have like to have seen an inside linebacker, but it must be a poor year for the position. Hope the Barrington kid can knock some teeth loose.

Troll? He has over 100 posts about PACKERS in the last what two or three weeks? You're the one trolling with your singling people out and pointing fingers. Grow up already. It's DRAFT TIME! Have fun, whine about the picks or gloat about the picks ... not the fans. My lord.

I agree about inside linebacker. I was thinking one of the first two picks would be LB for sure. Again, shows my ignorance with drafts lol

I think the group the Packers have at TE is adequate enough for the needs of the offense.

This shows us getting bigger on the line and a pass catcher that can take on linebackers. People call him a project. Well that's fine because we have great offensive coaching.

Heard raves about his cut blocking abilities, and about some of this struggles with inline blocking. I'm sure that can get shored up with the right coaching and development. This is a very confident player. Nice pick.

One of the staples of Ted's draft strategy seems to be putting a priority on intelligence.

All of these picks have been well-spoken and seem intelligent.

As we've learned on defense the last few years, mental mistakes can destroy your team.

A-Rod will only toss the rock to guys he trusts to be in the right place at the right time.

Like this pick more after listening to this interview. Football is in his blood.

Apparently Richard Rodgers is cousins with Jairus Byrd. So that's as good as it's gonna get for you guys who wanted Ted to sign him!

Thanks for the backing Zero... I laugh when I get called a troll. Just someone unhappy that I'm not fanning their illusions. Some drink kool aid and think everything Ted Thompson does must be gold because he's an NFL GM and we're clowns on a message board. I get that...however, it doesn't take a rocket science major to realize we're not and have not drafted one elite speed athlete in this draft. Speed kills. A guy like Kaepernick and his ilk kills us and we're going to trout out the same group again this year. That makes no sense to me at all.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I hated it when Uncle Teddy was saying they were going to switch to speed. Obviously you don't want 11 mudders plodding along out there but when Starr was HC he said they wanted to go smaller and quicker. They took George Cumby and gave us him getting leveled by The Frig in the endzone.

It has to be a mix. Not too big and heavy they can't cover. Not so small and quick they can't defend. The guys this year appear to be able to stand their ground. The Adams and Rodgers are not flea quick but are strong and possession receivers.

I finally got this pick.

We are all going to buy the new "A RODGERS" t-shirt.

It's all about the money guys 😆

Zero2Cool (2h) : Tua’s old DC won a Super Bowl Year 1 with Tua’s former backup

Mucky Tundra (4h) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (10h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (11h) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (11h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (11h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (11h) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (20h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (20h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (21h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (22h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (22h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (22h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (22h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (22h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (22h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (22h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (23h) : 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 (23h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (23h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (23h) : 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 (23h) : 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 (23h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (23h) : 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 (23h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (23h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (23h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (23h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (23h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (23h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (23h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : 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 (23h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : 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 (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (10-Feb) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Philly DL has come to play
