Who to Draft When and Where

I’ve heard a lot of things about who the Packers in the first round and such.  Most people are saying cornerback.  I say no.  Remember Ahmad Carroll?  Corner is way to risky, and the Packers do not particularly need a bust.  So I am going through pick-by-pick to state what the Packers need to draft [...]

Madden Man Crush Achieved

Finally, John Madden will get to achieve one of his life-long dreams: putting our Brett Favre on the cover of his video game, Madden ‘09.  This will be the first time that a retired player has been featured on the cover of the legendary video game.  The question now is: Will Brett be cursed?

Team
1st Round

1. Miami Dolphins - Jake Long, Michigan.  It’s already been announced, so not much else to say here.  $30 million guaranteed.

2. St. Louis Rams - Vernon Gholston, LB/DE, Ohio State.  Gholston’s versatility would provide much help to a unit that struggled last year.  The freak-athlete is one of the risers in the draft

3. Atlanta [...]

I Like to Fail Myself…

A while ago, I said I was going to do the Packers Position Profiles series.  I tried.  And got through offensive line.  However, with the draft on Saturday, band practice looming tomorrow evening, and a track meet during the draft (NOOOOOOOOOOO!), I cannot finish them.  I am sorry to anyone who was desperately awaiting their [...]

Packers Tight Lipped on Draft Plans

So far, no one has any idea on who the Packers will take in this draft. Many people say cornerback. But does the name Ahmad Carroll ring a bell? So what will it be?
Apparently, Ted Thompson has been bringing in lesser-known names, those that will be late-round draft picks or undrafted free agents for visits.
