Trading back before made all sorts of sense - you get a large amount of young potential, knowing that a good proportion of that potential never pans out. More picks, better chance you'll get a number of good core players. And it's worked, the core of the team is pretty dang solid.

As much as this draft is being looked at as a poor one, though, I see guys who could be very helpful available in every mock I've seen, so I kind of hope he doesn't trade back this year.

I don't think this looks like a poor draft. It certainly looks better than the last couple top to bottom thru at least three rounds. Last year by the time we picked there were no true first round picks left. Certainly, thru at least the middle of round two there are some high quality prospects out there and I like our chances thru the #109 to produce higher quality than in the last few drafts.

Agreed for the most part, what this draft lacks is flashy top 5 talent... but this is a deeper draft at most positions minus QB, RB, and NFL ready CB's.

Agreed, that is why I believe this draft will be very interesting. I don't think Ted Thompson could do anything that would surprise me.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

This week, we'll begin meeting with the coaches and kind of put everything together in terms of what their thoughts are on some of the players. It's a long process.

I like that part..Makes sure to inform everyone that HE alone isn't the one that says no or yes..

True......it's a TEAM effort.

And as i always say, the draft is a crap shoot. Some players that everyone thinks will be great, bomb, and some that no one thinks will ever be anything end up being great.

I haven't thought of it in those terms. I'm sure if you think it is, then it is.

Mucky Tundra (3h) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (5h) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (5h) : HUMP DAY

beast (5h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (5h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (5h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (6h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (6h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (6h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (6h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (6h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (6h) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

beast (8h) : I missed it, sorry, but he got into the NFL Hall of Fame years before that

Zero2Cool (8h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (8h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (8h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (8h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (21h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats porky on winning 2023 pick'em! (oops sorry)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : I'm rooting for the Lions to lose.
