annual 1st round pick synopsis.

lot of PR spinning on the story obv, but a few good points are made. lets just hope he keeps that motor and can bulk up a bit


“The only thing he knew was to beat the guy across from him,” Jones said.“Reggie White played one way, with maniacal effort and complete hunger. No matter who he lined up against, he wanted to dominate, and that’s the type of player I want to carry myself after.”

I'm definitely happy with this, I may not be familiar with the guy, but I was just praying we did not draft Lacy lol.

I don't want a RB early from this draft. We can sign a FA like Bradshaw for a year and wait for better stars to emerge.

We need to address defense and O-line so bad that I don't want anything else lol, maybe a WR to replace Jennings, but I think we're fine with what we have.

We have all these young guys that we never really give a solid chance, Starks/Green/Harris never really got the attempts to prove anything, I don't know if we need to waste a solid defense pick for another young guy that isn't going to get a great chance either.

Nice, that's not as bad as I was expecting, definitely worth it for Rodgers. Matthews and Rodgers secure, now let's draft some deep talent and get to the superbowl this year!
