McKenzie didn't start his problems until after the '04 draft. Reggie McKenzie (sp) believed he would show up when the paychecks starting coming in. And we traded Vinson for Ahman Green I believe.
I think we drafted Carroll because Edwards and Thomas sucked. I thought Thomas was going to be a keeper for us. I was very wrong there.

I am not sure whem McKenzie started his problems, but I believe it was before the draft, MS might have taken Carrol anyway, but IMHO he took Thomas hoping he would also develope into a starter.
pulled the below facts from packers.com.
Packers took Carroll in 1st rnd then traded down with Jacksonville and took Thomas in 3rd rnd.
2004 1 25 CB Ahmad Carroll, Arkansas
2004 2 55 (to Jacksonville Jaguars in draft-day trade)
65. 2004 3 70 CB Joey Thomas, Montana State
(from Jacksonville Jaguars in draft-day trade)
IMHO Both were thrown to the wolves their rookie year, Carrol still is floating around, Thomas, I never heard anymore about him after Packers cut him.
