DÉJÀ VU RIDICULOUS

J-Al at Mini-Camp

I had my doubts about all the “glowing” accolades the Packers No. 1 draft pick got from the local kiss-ass media, especially since none of them on draft day had a thing to say about the “Buckley Rule”, which Hall of Famer Ron Wolf lived by after he made the mistake of drafting its namesake and Ted Thompson also followed the whole time he was Packers Head Honcho until he was forced to share his job with “Gute” at least in name only.

Draft Day One: The Long and the Short of It

Overview:

Green Bay Packers new General Manager Dynamic Duo (Brian Gutekundst and Ted Thompson) pulled off a great trade Thursday night trading away the No. 14 pick in the first round along with the 76th pick in the 3rd round and the 186th pick in the 6th round to get the 18th pick in the first round as well as the 147th pick in the 5th round, the 248th pick in the 7th round and, and this is great part, a 1-32 pick in next year’s draft.

The trade was also great because the Packers ended up getting the player they wanted and the player almost all the pundits said the Packers would draft at 14 and all it cost was losing a 3rd round pick altogether dropping 71 picks with the pickup of the 147th pick in the 5th round and losing a 6th round pick dropping 62 picks with the pickup of the 248th pick in the 7th round.
