I find this effing funny..

1st we have people yelling and screaming at Ted and staff for not OVER SPENDING on players in free agency.

Now we have a player that Ted and staff believe is worth the price of draft picks and they "over pay" in draft picks to get him, and now people are pissed at Ted for doing that

Some people are never happy

I completely agree... The Packers fill two needs with two 1st round quality players.

Plus we don't really need all those draft picks. We have enough young talent on the team. One or two more wont hurt but bringing in like 9 guys just isnt the right thing to do this year.

Excellent point. Most of the picks usually take a roster spot. We have the second youngest team in the league, or was it first? Either way, we have a plethora of young talent already. We need impact players.

I think we got two starters today.

I remember reading an interview of Ted Thompson a while back about how much he likes the current players and that he thinks there is a certain point where if you stock up on draft picks you just end up having to replace players with guys who arent any better/worse than the ones you already have. Thats why I think he was ok with giving up those picks.

Let's not forget we scored 419 points last year and 435 the year before. The O is not the problem. Our problem is our D, specifically not being able to stop the run nor generate pressure.

Even thou I would of rather Ted have taken Sintim; I dont mind mattews - the problem arises in what Ted traded to get him. And ya it's said this draft was pretty poor with talent; and on the other side of the coin. Its up to the teams to find the talent amoungst what there is.

To me the greatest pick out of the whole off-season was dom capers ...
lets see what capers can do with our 2 new D 1st and 2nd rounders.

People are being kind of stupid about this. One of those thirds we got for a QB who freaking retired. It was a free pick. Does that mean its okay to throw it away? No, but some retards are acting like we gave up a shit load to get that second 3rd rounder. We got it for a player who RETIRED!

With that said, I'd rather have had the trade go like this.
1st for our 2nd and highest 3rd.
or
1st, 3rd for our 2nd and both 3rds.

I don't like that we don't have a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Ted usually hits well on those. With this trade I'm thinking we have more going on behind the scenes. There will be more trades.

Also, let's keep this thread about Clay Matthews please.

Brett Favre was coming off of one of the most impressive seasons in his HOF career, even at his age, before the season he was still seen among the league's best. I think most of us believe that we could of gotten a lot more for Brett than just a conditional draft pick. With that said, you gotta value that pick.. and I'm disappointed the packers traded it away.. not only is it an honor to be that player that would of came in for brett but it also gives them a ton of motivation to do well.

I just feel that the packers gave up WAY to much for this pick. Sure I think clay will do alright in the 3-4, but to give away three selections where any one of those players can become potential elite players..even in their first year.. it doesn't make sense to me.

Fancy how you forget that Brett Favre RETIRED! And we still got a pick for him. Let's just throw that out the window cuz that's just non sense!

Clay Matthews, anyone? Anyone?

Brett didn't retire. He showed up to camp on time like any other year and Ted just said "get out of here we don't want you anymore" It's crazy how many people don't know the true story about what happened.

Well, according to nfldraftcountdown, we got the #7 and #24 player on the board. I'll take it, although I'm going to be bored during the 3rd round tomorrow.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (5h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (7h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.
