Let's all be fair though, Crabtree was the best player on the board. He might have some injury concerns and it wasn't a need, but he was the best player available.

But still, will us not taking Crabtree mean that Raji will become a bust? And how does this look anything like Mandarich? Raji has been through tests at the combine, he didn't use illegal substances to artificially raise his strength. He'll be a solid player at worst. And without the injury problems like Crabtree has and which we all hate because of some DE.

The difference is in the position being played. There are always good receivers out there but seldom very good NT's. They are a rare bird.

So when it comes to BPA you have to factor in the number of times you will be sitting there with an opportunity to get the best NT in the draft vs. WR.

I mean one team alone picked up Jennings, Jones, and, Nelson in the 2nd round. How many good NT's have come along in the 2nd round? I don't know how Raji isn't in the running for BPA when NT's are hardly ever available.

He was the BPA, yes. But Thompson alluded that he wasn't someone who had only one approach to the draft, and that the situation of the team dictated the approach. Crabtree was the BPA, but as it turns out, Thompson was drafting for need this go-round.

And this, this is funny. DHazer had been going on for weeks about how Ted would just trade back and take the BPA, just bagging him - so draft day's here, we get to pick 9, and if DH is right you gotta think he's going to get the guy he wanted... and Ted goes need! Then he trades UP and fills another need! If ole Haze had been right about Teddy, he'd be pre-ordering his Crabby jersey right now. You can't write comedy that good - you just can't.

And it does........history repeats it's self every time you post anything reguarding TT.
Hindsight makes everyone a GREAT GM. The fact that you can look back at Barry & Deion Sander's career and point that picking Manderich was a bust..........wow.........you should have been the Packers GM back then!
Oh.....I of course can make the pick of either Sanders NOW too.
Did Ted Thompson pick Tony Manderich?
Didn't think so.
So what does that have to do with Crabtree OR Raji?
What if Crabtree is a bust? How many times have we seen WR's that had great college careers, and touted as "can't miss" picks, ended up being average or worse? More times then i can count.
We have a solid WR corp, and our GLARING weakness was on D.

I would bet money that if Ted Thompson would have picked Crabtree, you'd be yelling "He passed on Raji!!! We HAVE WR's! Ted Thompson should be FIRED!!!"

Face it.......even if Raji turns out great, you will still be "hatin'". We all know thats the fact......."history repeats it's self".

So....because Harrell has done nothing so far, that means automatically that Raji is lousy?

Boy.....can't argue with logic like that!
(cause there IS none there to argue with)
I think you SHOULD become a Lions fan.......you'd fit right in with them! But they are YEARS ahead of you, cause they have had Matt Millen as GM for so many years. You could visit their site, and learn all NEW things to call Ted!!!

beast (1h) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
