Message: <blockquote data-quote="TOPHAT" data-source="post: 147174" data-attributes="member: 781">DRAFT REVIEWSThere are some angry bloggers out there - but not everyone is upset:Green Bay Railbird Central is cutting Ted Thompson some slack. "Everyone just has to trust that Ted Thompson knows more than super fan Dave from Medford, Wisconsin. Fans have no choice. I don't think Thompson's feelings were hurt when everyone booed him at the draft party yesterday. He gets paid the big bucks for a reason. It was a joke when Thompson was booed. Give Justin Harrell a chance. If Harrell is a bust, Thompson gets fired. If Harrell is a Pro Bowler, nothing will happen to the fan who booed. They can act like a child and boo before Harrell even plays a down. And in the event Harrell plays great, they can pretend like nothing happened." The site seems somewhat enthusiastic about most of the picks, saying the running backs fit well with the team's zone-blocking scheme and mentioning guys who should help the special teams.PACKERwatch gives thoughts on each Day 2 pick, saying David Clowney is his favorite choice of the draft. He wraps it up with "In conclusion, the Packers probably appeased angry fans with some less risky and smarter picks on Day 2. Some of these guys could end up being good."The Free Badger doesn't seem upset, but is also tempering his enthusiasm, writing "Overall, day two was better than day one. But then again day two picks don't have the potential to make the impact that the early rounds do. My hope is that Ted Thompson proves me wrong in the long run and hopefully makes a couple of medium to big sized moves before the season starts to shore up some needs, particularly at the TE position."OK, so not everyone is happy. In the blog Forward Thoughts, Brian Hancock sums up his feelings with a simple "Blah!" ... and later a "Double Blah!"Matthew Lowerr in the blog Agrestic doesn't hide his disdain, labeling his post Fire Ted Thompson. Writes Lowerr: "The Packers need help at almost every position and nothing was done to make the team much better than 8-8 in the coming season over draft weekend. (Not to mention a painfully quiet free agency season.)"____________________________________________________________________________________Upset at the Packers' draft? Here's reason for hope:The grades for the Packers haven't been stellar so far. But NFL.com's Gil Brandt offers this for fans of any team upset with the picks of their team: "Last year, Buffalo was given an F, but it turned out to be one of the best. Fans, if you're down on your team's draft, don't be worried. Teams' drafts tend to turn out better than the so-called experts think they might be."</blockquote>
