Man, GM Ted Thompson loves drafting wide receivers in the 2nd round. He's done it in 3 of 4 drafts that he's managed, and took WR James Jones last season in the 3rd round. With the 36th pick, the Green Bay Packers select Kansas State's WR Jordy Nelson . He wasn't on my radar because he was rated as the 16th best WR by Rivals.com and 15th best by New Era Scouting.com in a weak WR class. ... [link]

Congratulations Jordy Nelson!
Published 4/27/2008 by TB <info@bringonthecats.com> at Bring On The Cats: Front Page Posts
Consensus All-America Jordy Nelson will be taking his game north, to Green Bay, Wis.  Although the Packers are not my favorite NFL team, I will enjoy cheering Jordy on at the next level. Congratulations on the reward for all your hard work, Jordy, and best of luck at continuing to prove the doubters wrong.

Lavelle Hawkins of Cal will be better than DeSean Jackson. Remember I said that, he lit it up all off-season. Shocked he didn't go sooner. Also love Red Bryant. He's in the Alan Branch mold. Big DT who if he puts it together will be a great value. See this is why you trade down. Stockpile picks it lessens the risk of a guy just being a bust. If you put all your eggs in one basket they will ...

With The 135th Pick Overall - 4th Round

Rover found this 4/27/2008 on www.acmepackingcompany.com

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 . But if the guy works out, that doesn't matter except the Packers could have still taken Sitton in the 7th round and taken someone more highly regarded in this spot. The Packers do need more competition on the offensive line, although they don't ...

Round 5, Pick 150: Packers pick OT Breno Giacomini

Rover found this 4/27/2008 on mvn.com

For the second straight pick, Ted Thompson went with an offensive tackle – this time Breno Giacomini out of Louisville. This is a great pick because Green Bay needs to start grooming replacements for the aging tackles Mark Tauscher and Chad Clifton , as Casey Burkett mentioned in his last post. Giacomini has a monster stature at 6’7” and 303 pounds, and he’s apparently pretty versatile too ...
