Why did you put the poll here slapnuts?

Because I want as many votes on this as possible.


Should we re-add the Draft Section to the forum?

I say no.

It's a "qualified" no.

It was under-utilized, at least as it was configured before, and it seemed like few read it.

I personally felt like the description was too narrow, and that contributed to it's "lack of use" and also the mis-posting in other areas.

My vote would be for something more encompassing....

...Taking into account college prospects (99% of which go undrafted, but many are undrafted free agents) The bowl games, the combine, the draft, aforementioned UDFA's, free agents on our team and others.

Acquisitions? Off-season discussion?

It's a toughie. I'll look forward to the (I'm sure) wise decision.

Actually the reviews of the draft picks were often used by myself.. it made it easier to locate and access the posts surrounding the picks and how they fit into our team.

The problem was that so many were throwing their posts in the Packers section, which others would respond to...etc. etc. etc.

Then they would get (rightfully, pain-in-the-ass) moved, people [strike]were too friggin' lazy/stupid[/strike] couldn't find them, and the thread faded once moved.

Especially when it wasn't specifically a "draft" initial post, but fell under one of the other off-season acquisition-type discussions.

I liked it, and I wants it back (the typo is intentional).

I didn't like the idea of getting rid of the draft section in the first place, but when weighed against moving all those threads, it was an easy decision.

Perhaps the headline was too narrow.

I had desired it to be more Packers directed, but perhaps keep it driven primarily as Packers, but also contain all potential draft prospects as well?

Something to encapsulate both ...
Packers Draft + Prospects
- Packers Draft picks, and potential draft prospects or wishlist prospects

If we name it off season, then all free agency will be in there too, I'd rather that stay in the main Packers section or am I wrong?

or something like this?
Packers Off-Season
Packers Draft/Prospects, free agents, etc

I like the last one, Kev.

After "Prospects", you might want to interject the word, "mocks"

Answer the damn question
Yes
No
who cares



Can I chose "D"? If I could figure out that there is besides yes and no and I don't care, I would chose it.

Perhaps "I dunno". Or "tell me what I should be thinking". Maybe "I vote for something that is going to p!ss off Zero"!
