[QUOTE="IPBprez, post: 6515, member: 51"] Query to the Group ---- Since we've seen three rounds of drafting - which have also shown us that even Ted Thompson will trade "down", when I would have never done that, in no way, shape, or form.... Our first three choices remain as an enigma wrapped inside of a total mystery..! Now - I do like the Aaron Rodgers choice - and he's all set to go hang out with his new favorite friend - Brett Favre! Knowing the guy had Brett as his role model being a QB helps... But since we let Crowder, Roth, Burnett, Poole, and all the other fav choices WE wanted... I gotta tell ya - until later on last nite, I was flummmoxed. But, here's the thing - IF Ted & Co have decided to forgo all the major picks from OUR WISH LIST - there has to be a reason, right? Yeah! Sure there is - and NO, I don't have a main line for what that might be.... Prez, or no Prez - even I don't have that clout.... although, a couple of phone calls to our Charity Support Mgmt Staff might reap benefits... So, having said all that... try this --- [i]Ted Thompson has sat down with both Mike Sherman (QB &WR pick) and Jim Bates (CB pick) and found that Jim Bates turned out to be a real salesman [u]concerning[/u] the current crop of GBP Players that we already have![/i] Yep, you heard me - Jim Bates Defense style is such that having smaller "quicker" players on D - is exactly what he prefers. With exception of growing redwood forest trees to stand in the middle (Gravedigger & Grady Jackson, like we had that one year comes to mind) - What's more - his style works pretty well, as we all saw with his track record at Miami. So - the thing - is if, and I do mean IF, we're lucky they may go after Hawthorne to help bulk up the middle or to save the middle pending Jackson gets hurt.... Otherwise, it now looks like the Packers will work to look at whomever may get let go on June 1st - in order to take care of any needs lacking by Draft's end....... Who's gone by June 1st? With the Draft choices that we've used? That would be: [list] Mark (I know how to play Safety) Roman Cletidus (Roll me another Doobie) Hunt [/list] That's my take! While it seems to lack any Ted Thompson logic - Is Mike Sherman running this Draft? At first glance, it really feels that way - you and I both know it, [i]yea hey![/i] But - I think the fly in the ointment for what OUR choices would have been..... ...........is Jim Bates!
