In looking at the Packers draft top to bottom, it was a pretty solid weekend.  I thought day one was very good- I already described how I feel about the agressive Ted Thompson.  While Sunday was boring (no trades!!) it was still very useful for what the Packers need.

It seems every draft has the requisite project (Jarius Wynn, DE in the 6th), the chance taken on a problem guy who may have the skills (Brandon Underwood, CB in the 6th) and the big as an oak offensive lineman.  The Packers had all that, and addressed some needs as well.  Mark Tauscher will probably never play for the Packers again, so getting two tackles was smart to be prepared.  T.J. Lang could even be accomplished enough to start this year.

The only head scratcher was Quinn Johnson, the fullback, in the 5th round.  Aren’t fullbacks a dime a dozen?  The Packers have now drafted a linebacker-turned-fullback in two straight drafts (Korey Hall) so will have a little competition. If I had to grade the draft: A-/B+.  I would have liked to see a running back at some point, probably at the expense of the second LB in the 7th round (Brad Jones), though in the 7th, it’s really a roll of the dice anyways.   Fans should be happy after this weekend.  Now if the rest of the guys who still work at 1265 Lombardi can buy in to the new system, things should be exciting this year.
