Draft expectations or thoughts

IMO, TT did little to improve the Packers Defense. SB's are not won with weak CB's and ILB's.

Im not sure what draft you were watching if you dont think CBs were addressed. Also by all early indications we have our ILB that will play next to Barrington.

When the rookie CB's and ILB's prove themselves, then parade and shout cheers. The Packers 2015 Draft will, IMO, prove to be a bust as will the cheap FA pickups.

You are right. We have really struggled lately

I don't know...maybe my sarcasm was missed

Nothing was missed, the Packers have struggled on defense. I had hoped that TT would address the problems at CB and ILB. Yet he drafts players in the top draft rounds that leave me and others saying WTF. At the same time leaving better qualified players for other teams to snap up. Then bringing in FA's with questionable skills.

If he pulls this off, TT will get all the praise. However is his picks and FA's are a bust, then the blame will fall upon the Coaches. Either way, Teflon Ted comes out smelling like a rose again.

How can you reasonably say he dismissed CB and ILB when that was 3 of our first 4 picks?

I don't have to say, those picks will speak for themselves at Training Camp. IMO, they were poor picks and the Secondary will suffer for it or TT will be proved right if he is lucky. In any case Teflon Ted is praised, but never blamed.

 

[Trudem]

Yeah...I'm done. It's not worth my time.

Randall was widely considered one of the best man to man cover guys in the draft but I'm sure he will bust because Smokey says so. smfh. Thank God you aren't the GM. Most were happy with TT's picks including me. In the second half of last season this defense had top 5 numbers. We got rid of the top 3 liabilities on the d in the offseason and replaced them with faster, younger, more athletic players but hey what do I know.

Im glad im not the only one that sees things this way...but of course Teflon Ted, wtf is that all about, is the devil.

TheRedShed, is that you? You still butt hurt over the Favre trade? Let it go man, it was 8 years ago...

Teflon Ted lol I like that. Once you get out of the top 15 it's a real crap shoot for everyone. I like Randall myself and think he will be a good player. ( Seems like every draft you guys get a player I wanted.)
