2008 NFL Draft Thread

Brohm to the Pack. Hopefully this quells any notion of Culpepper backing up Rodgers.

Really pleased with the Packers' draft so far.

Fuck the giants.... Just saying!

Love the Manningham pick. Toomer, Burress, Smith and Manningham with Moss vs Tyree at the 5 slot is a nice receiving corps. Considering that Shockey and Boss are still on the team and thunder and lightning in Jacobs and Bradshaw and Manning has his weapons. Considering that the O-line made leaps and bounds and will stay together and I expect this offense to be solid.

The D-Line is still money. Osi, Tuck, Cofield, Alford and Robbins should be nice. if Strahan wants to come back, then even better. The LB corps took a hit with Mitchell and Torbor leaving and the secondary, which was awful lost its best player in Wilson. But with the 1st and 2nd round picks, we add some top flight talent at safety and corner, we added Sammy Knight too to add to the depth in the D backfield. I think the biggest determinant of how this team does next yr will be how this defensive backfield plays. Last yr, we got torched in games that the QB didnt get hit. If we can shore up the D backfield, then this D will be nice. If not, then we'll be even more inconsistent and even more reliant on the pass rush.

I heard they were trading Shockey.

I dunno... I'm happy with the Pats picks, I guess... I used to get into the draft, but the truth is, you just never know. I won't really get into football until the first game of the regular season starts. I'm pretty much into this baseball thing for now! hahahaha.
