Evaluate our draft

[skibrett15]

We got rodgers, but then wasted a third rounder on a wr (IMO). Pretty good so far but what do you guys think. I really don't know much about college players so I'm hoping to learn a little about our guys.

Far as I see it.. our first pick was our only good one

But you never know ... hopefully some of these risky picks will pay off.. no one thought drafting Barnett was a good value pick, but he did awesome his first year..

though he did slump a little last year

Keep the faith ! and GO PACK!!!

The draft really hinges on Aaron Rodgers. If he turns out to be a reasonable successor to Favre it will have been a good draft. As far as the other picks go there are some reaches and gambles but the Pack had a lot of picks to play with and undoubtedly some of the gambles will pay off.

I gather a lot of people are criticizing picking Rodgers. This guy was a possible top 3 pick and to me this is the perfect time to bring him in. His style is different than Favre's but he'll have a little time to learn and develop. You could make the point this will not help the team immediately but looking at the long haul this was a great pick.

C- With Favre on the verge of retirement we should have atleast done something to help this team this year to try to get him another SB ring

Why did we pass on Dan Cody ???? In the second ???

please stay in the Viqueen forum section please. We really don't like seeing that purple crap in our area, kind gets the blood boiling. Have a good season with another strong on paper, weak on the field team. Oh and before you mention that traitor Sharper, he's past his prime and watch out for that left shoulder, it's just about as glass as Charles Rodgers collar bone in Detroit.

On the draft issue, don't underestimate Underwood and Collins, both are proving to be big hitters in camp anyway. We haven't had solid, big hitting safeties in years. And Popinga should be solid at LB, I watched the BYU/ND game last year and he lit up ND, not a big feat, but showed his skills. These three guys will be solid for us. Also, Joey Thomas from last year is slated as the other starting CB opposite of Al "Mr. Overrated" Harris. So it appears Carroll will be Nickle and Diming it this year.

Just my .02

yea, what the hell is with carroll anyways. Dude had one good game against the Rams in a trouncing and that was it. He really has to step it up this season.

I think he is a liability. Thomas will probably be the starter. They also like this Chris Johnson. He was drafted a couple of years ago but has been injured. He was looking good this season until a minor injury. He was cleared yesterday and we should get a look in the next preseason game.
