Clearly a troll.

I hate to say it, considering we do need a WR, but at what point do you consider trading up and taking Jon Adams? He is dropping like a rock right now, and snagging him would solidify our offensive line once and for all.

Cordy Glenn will be starting on opening day. Mark it down. And Gilmore should at least challenge for the nickel spot.

Im still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that Cordy fell to us. We got 2 first round picks this year folks.

We need to get back into the 2nd round and grab Reuben Randle before another team snatches him up. He's already far past his projected placement.

Cordy Glenn is projected as a LT in the NFL...

Nonsense all around.

Fantastic! Hill is going to be a major bust.

I would. I would ecstatic if we traded up to the mid 40's and grabbed Randle. I would be completely set with this draft.

I'm very happy with this pick. Cordy could have been a late 1st round pick and we got him 10 picks into the 2nd round. Great pick.

Absolutely not. If anything, we trade back up for Reuben Randle. Hill is a joke.

NFL teams use the phrase Best Player Available. Not just fans.

No they didn't. This was 2005. Brett Favre had just thrown for over 4,000 yards and 30 TD's in one of his best seasons EVER. He didn't send a picture of his "junk" to people for 5 more years. No they weren't. This was 2005. The Packers were NOT stacked; they were 4-12 and obviously didn't make the playoffs. Actually, it was. The Packers wanted Demarcus Ware, but he was taken. They never considered a QB before the draft. "The best decision-makers, in my view, "trust the board." Players have been poked, prodded, analyzed and discussed for seven months. It's time to let the board do the work. The biggest downfall of decision-makers is becoming impulsive and emotional, straying from the board. Nothing deflates the morale of scouting staffs faster.In 2005, all of the defensive players we targeted -- including DeMarcus Ware and Marcus Spears, both picked by Dallas -- were off the board, leaving us staring at Aaron Rodgers, the only player left with a first-round grade. Although we had the most durable quarterback in football, Brett Favre, we decided to "trust the board." I called Rodgers' agent, Mike Sullivan. I've been an agent, and I felt for Mike. They sat in that green room for six hours watching all the other players be selected, left alone as the catering staff cleared tables around them. I had to keep them on hold another excruciating 10 minutes to see whether the phone rang with a trade offer for the pick (it didn't). I think about how things would be different had Ware or Spears been available or if we had received an offer for that pick." - Andrew Brandt, Vice President of the Packers. They picked Rodgers solely on BPA. Because they know the player they want wont be available when it's their turn to pick, because he would be the best player available before their turn. Trading up and down have nothing to do with the BPA philosophy. You are 100% wrong.

This post is 100% wrong. The Packers are a very well known BPA at ALL COSTS team. Regardless of need, they will take BPA. For example, in 2005, they had Brett Favre as their entrenched starter. When it was their turn to pick, Rodgers was the best player available. After confirming that there were no trade offers, they took Rodgers. When asked years later, they said they had no plans of going after Rodgers when they went into the draft. It took them by surprise. He was simply the best player available.

Wayyyy too tall. Couldn't nail a 6'3 chick.

BPA is ALWAYS more important. Need is not a good talent evaluator.

I hope that was a smoke screen because Hill is crap. He has all of the measurables, height, speed, and size, which is why he is projected high. Rueben Randle is MUCH more polished and as Gregg Rosenthal said, there isnt a large difference between Randle and the top 10 WR's (Blackmon/Floyd).

Can you link me to where Buddy said they received calls to move down? I heard the move up calls, but I must have missed the move down comment.

Some love the Bills pick, some hate it. Either way, it's always fun when fans of a divisional opponent are upset. The Jets took a boom/bust player, and the experts are circling around the Jets carcass. I lifted these quotes from a post on a Jets forum... "In a poll of 20 NFL scouts by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Coples was voted the defensive lineman most likely to be a bust" (Milkwaukee Journal Sentinel) "He doesn't have the great wingspan as some of the other defensive linemen, not with his type of height at 6-6" (Mel Kiper) "I've never liked his tape. I wouldn't draft him... If I'm a general manager I'm not taking him in the first round, and I might not take him in the second round... To me, the bust potential is high, and the earlier you take him the more risk there is inherent in that. So, for me, Quinton Coples is not even a draftable player." (Mike Mayock) "After all the suspensions and all the problems, he shut it down. He got up in front of the team and basically said, 'I'm not playing for the team, I'm playing for myself, I ain't getting hurt for nobody.'" (NFL Scout)
