Disagree with the biggest draft bust thing. Yes he was a high first rounder and didn't live up to the hype but at least he suited up and gave it an effort. Bruce Clark was the #4 overall pick in 1980 after apparently warning the Packers not to take him and they still did. He never signed with them. To me, picking a guy who says "don't take me I won't sign" is worse than picking a guy who everyone in the world thought was the best player to take at the time.

No, that was a couple of years later Bosworth told the Seahawks not to draft him, he wanted to play for the Raiders. They should have listened.

The 2015 Secondary is going to be steamed and served this season.

The Inside Linebackers will be the next disappointment. Ted Thompson drafted who from where ? Free agent LB's that were not wanted by other teams, but Ted Thompson likes them !

Don't blame Coach McCarthy or his Staff when the Packers Defense gets mowed like a lawn.

BLAME 🇹🇹 .

I am done with this thread. It feels like I have read the same post re-worded 20 different times.

Interesting article. It does go on to say he didn't want the Packers to draft him. I remember the whole LA and Guns and Roses thing at the time.
