I find this effing funny..

1st we have people yelling and screaming at Ted and staff for not OVER SPENDING on players in free agency.

Now we have a player that Ted and staff believe is worth the price of draft picks and they "over pay" in draft picks to get him, and now people are pissed at Ted for doing that

Some people are never happy

I completely agree... The Packers fill two needs with two 1st round quality players.

Plus we don't really need all those draft picks. We have enough young talent on the team. One or two more wont hurt but bringing in like 9 guys just isnt the right thing to do this year.

Excellent point. Most of the picks usually take a roster spot. We have the second youngest team in the league, or was it first? Either way, we have a plethora of young talent already. We need impact players.

I think we got two starters today.

I remember reading an interview of Ted Thompson a while back about how much he likes the current players and that he thinks there is a certain point where if you stock up on draft picks you just end up having to replace players with guys who arent any better/worse than the ones you already have. Thats why I think he was ok with giving up those picks.

Let's not forget we scored 419 points last year and 435 the year before. The O is not the problem. Our problem is our D, specifically not being able to stop the run nor generate pressure.

Even thou I would of rather Ted have taken Sintim; I dont mind mattews - the problem arises in what Ted traded to get him. And ya it's said this draft was pretty poor with talent; and on the other side of the coin. Its up to the teams to find the talent amoungst what there is.

To me the greatest pick out of the whole off-season was dom capers ...
lets see what capers can do with our 2 new D 1st and 2nd rounders.

People are being kind of stupid about this. One of those thirds we got for a QB who freaking retired. It was a free pick. Does that mean its okay to throw it away? No, but some retards are acting like we gave up a shit load to get that second 3rd rounder. We got it for a player who RETIRED!

With that said, I'd rather have had the trade go like this.
1st for our 2nd and highest 3rd.
or
1st, 3rd for our 2nd and both 3rds.

I don't like that we don't have a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Ted usually hits well on those. With this trade I'm thinking we have more going on behind the scenes. There will be more trades.

Also, let's keep this thread about Clay Matthews please.

Brett Favre was coming off of one of the most impressive seasons in his HOF career, even at his age, before the season he was still seen among the league's best. I think most of us believe that we could of gotten a lot more for Brett than just a conditional draft pick. With that said, you gotta value that pick.. and I'm disappointed the packers traded it away.. not only is it an honor to be that player that would of came in for brett but it also gives them a ton of motivation to do well.

I just feel that the packers gave up WAY to much for this pick. Sure I think clay will do alright in the 3-4, but to give away three selections where any one of those players can become potential elite players..even in their first year.. it doesn't make sense to me.

Fancy how you forget that Brett Favre RETIRED! And we still got a pick for him. Let's just throw that out the window cuz that's just non sense!

Clay Matthews, anyone? Anyone?

Brett didn't retire. He showed up to camp on time like any other year and Ted just said "get out of here we don't want you anymore" It's crazy how many people don't know the true story about what happened.

Well, according to nfldraftcountdown, we got the #7 and #24 player on the board. I'll take it, although I'm going to be bored during the 3rd round tomorrow.
