While round one gets most of the attention, round two has been where general manager Ted Thompson has done some of his best work. In fact, you could make a compelling argument that 3 of last season’s 5 best players (wide receivers Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson and running back Eddie Lacy) were originally selected in that particular part of the draft. And so were Pro Bowl wide receiver Greg Jennings and All-Pro safety Nick Collins, who might still be the third-best player ever drafted by Thompson.

Other solid players picked in round two include guard Daryn Colledge, defensive end turned outside linebacker Mike Neal, cornerback Casey Hayward and emerging wide receiver Davante Adams. Another wide receiver, Terrence Murphy, looked like the real deal before suffering a career-ending neck injury in his rookie season.

What does all this mean? It means there’s a good chance the first player selected today will wind up being better than defensive back Damarious Randall, who went 30th overall on Thursday night.

I'm hoping that Ted takes all our Saturday picks that can be moved and uses them to get one or two extra 2nd/3rd rounders. I would love to leave the draft with 6 players, Randall, 2-2nds, 1-3rd and our two Saturday Comp picks.

Two 2nds and a 3rd is almost impossible, what do you give up to get a 2nd round pick? We don't have enough picks to move up. Trading a player would be an option but Thompson has never done that. The only player that comes to my mind is Starks he is probably worth a 2nd round pick for some teams but we have tried to shop him around last year without success and we are thin behind Lacy if we shop him.

But what if the Packers draft nine players that are better than nine other players currently on the roster? It's not like every player on the Packers roster is great or anything. It's unlikely I know, but it's not that simple.
