With The 135th Pick Overall - 4th Round
acmepackingcompany.com 4/27/2008 — The Green Bay Packers select Central Florida T Josh Sitton. This is a reach as Sitton was not highly rated by New Era Scouting or Rivals.com .

The Green Bay Packers Select: Matt Flynn (QB-LSU)
cakerockstheparty.wordpress.com 4/27/2008 — I was hoping for Andre Woodson. That’s what I get for hoping.
Don’t let me say that as indictment of Matt Flynn. He’s not a player that you’re in love with, but the fact of the matter is, he brings more to the table than Brohm. Athleticism? It goes to Flynn. Arm? It goes to Flynn. Durability? It goes to Flynn. Leadership? It goes to Flynn.
The only thing Brian ...
