Personally I am pleased with the Packers draft.

Bang it below for an interesting take on the NFC North and how the draft changed the landscape.

Kinda a bullshit article.

The Bears and Lions all took large steps backward before the draft and didn't come close to compensating for the losses. The Vikings aren't gonna be much better either - from a shitty team last season.

The Packers may not have improved much, but they didn't need to improve much. They basically played some athletic long shots that could come through big - or not.

Looking at the draft alone, without FA additions and departures, the Vikes had one heck of a draft, though.

True, they need more that one good draft to catch up with us in the NFCN, but with last year's draft and this year's haul, they're an ascending team.

If you believe these kind of articles then you have to give kudos to The Packers coaching staff.

Every year it seems The other North teams draft better players, yet for the past 4 years, who is it that has won the division?

Post-draft grades are pretty much useless, anyway. It's nothing more than an indicator of how many needs you filled and how well your players lined up with mock draft projections.

The Vikings are an ascending team with a good coach. But as we all know, they will rise and fall with their quarterback play. If Teddy Bridgewater never progresses beyond average, than the Vikings will only be average, as well. It really all depends on him. They will have a good defense, though. You would expect the Vikings to generally bring in better players than the Packers considering how high they often draft.

Never satisfied by looking and saying, yeah we are still better than teams below us. I won't be satisfied unless our moves make up a better team compared with those above us that we are fighting to catch and pass.

I agree with you. I expect Bridgewater to be an above average QB, eventually. The best since Favre.

And I figure that might just be enough in the long run.

If they can build a defense the way Zimmer likes and is capable of building, Bridgewater is playing above average football and AP keeps going strong for another year or three, you're facing an awfully strong team.

Of course, that's an awful lot what-ifs, but fact remains, they're laying quite the foundation.

I expect them to be our strongest competition this year in our division.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
