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

You're an angry elf.

I don't care for Packers off season because as soon and the win the SB, everything should technically end up in the section. that would be too broad. Packers Draft/Prospects, free agents, etc is somewhat problematic as well as, in theory, all the in season free agents they have pick up could be talked about in that section as well.
I like the draft section and leave it at that. People have to learn to go to that section to talk draft issues.

I think every single poll should have a "D".

...Just leave the damn thing blank

Not because it needs one, but because every friggin' time someone says they want one, lol

We're new to this forum but visited it when it had a draft section.
Like zero said an off-season section would be nice, otherwise where do all the draft related topics go?
We liked the draft topic and the new idea so we voted yes.

Packer fan from Europe!

Draft, free agency, off-season acquisitions
Discuss the Packers and NFL- mock drafts here.

Any better, Wayne?

I am a hybrid of the two schools of thought. Draft in its own section. All other topics in the general Packers section. (I still voted "yes".)

My reasoning for the draft section is there can be articles on every position. mock drafts. articles on everyone they select. it is easy to have 30-40 threads that are related only to the draft. And in the pre draft days it is larger than just GB players as different people think GB selection will go different directions.

Yeah, this board does probably mean more to me than a website should, but the little here and there that I try to do, I'm proud of and more so proud of the members it has, especially when others welcome the new members so warmly. That makes me feel good, that probably sounds weird out of context.

I'm pretty much set on a off season flavor section subsiding the main Packers discussion.

The title "Packers Off-Season Moves" or something similar. Maybe -Packers as its a sub of the main Packers.

I voted NO.

This is the forum most peope read, and the Draft is a huge part of Packers talk. Just let the draft posts mingle here during the off season.

That was also another thought I had. During the off season, there's not much Packers to talk, other than the off season moves, draft, free agency etc ...

It's a tough decision. I can see value in both.
