I like that idea. However, we would have to then address the O-Line and D-Line later in the draft. Even then are those guys going to make the immediate impact we need?

My play if Crabtree is there would be to trade Detroit for their #20 and #33. I say this because this is what the Lions do. Draft WR's in round 1.

It's in their blood. Plus, if they do take Stafford a Stafford to Crabtree combo down the road would be awesome.

We then drop back and take Jerry at #20, English or Barwin at #33, and Merrideth at #41.

In the third we take a Ron Brace type and one of the CB's left with our last 3rd rounder.

Everybody can go home happy for Easter now.

Why besides the Lions do you think would be willing to strike a quality trade for Crabtree?

---

It was in Matt Millens blood and he's gone. That said I would be OK with Crabtree or the trade. I'm a firm believer in BPA. Obviously, if the player are close in value take the position of need. Just think where we would be if Thompson drafted for need when Rodger was available.

---

But that's the thing: We DID need Rodgers. By that time, Favre had been vacillating for years, and no one knew when he'd finally decide to hang up the cleats. It was the perfect time to draft at a bargain price a prospect who at one time had been projected to go possibly as high as #1.

---

You are right. But not many people felt that way including a number of "experts".

I was delighted with the pick. But then again, I was delighted with the picks of Brian Brohm and Matt Flynn.

I remember being drunk off my ass on free beer at Breast Cancer Awareness Fest when they announced the Brohm pick. I started screaming and yelling for joy. I thought it was an amazing idea.

Maybe Im easy to please. 😉

I'm OK with those picks also. Flynn looks like he can develop into a good backup or better, great value a #7 I believe. Brohm could still get us a good trade for a position of need or a draft choice, especially if he shows good improvement in pre season. Some teams had him rated the #1 QB his junior year. If a couple of those teams are still enamored with hime like Wolf was with Favre, who know what transpires.

no, Ted Thompson is not good at drafting. i am not going to exclaim a. rodgers as a franchise qb, after one season.

nor would i consider a wr who in two seasons has not played all 16 games an immortal god.

i think there is a tackle named Marcus Mcneil who was drafted after colledge that is going to have a much better career than colledge.

if popinga was so talented, then why did we get chillar in free agency?? it was to address popinga's weaknesses!

let's look at the players we could have drafted instead of rodgers,
heath miller
marlin Jackson
rodddy white
frank gore
and Ted Thompson could have drafted matt cassell also.

i hope brandon jackson challenges ryan grant for a starter position on the offense, otherwise you could label him an avg third down back.

after four seasons and a losing record, i think it shows Ted Thompson ability to draft the BPA.

I can tell you this Denver drafts better than the Pack when it comes to O-Line
