GREEN BAY PACKERS
2008 NFL DRAFT RECAP
|
| This was
a really nice job of draft skills
overall, first they moved out of the
first round in deal with New York Jets.
Then they grabbed WR Jordy Nelson in the
second round and this could be a steal
though a bit mystifying since the
Packers aren't short of talent at this
position. The kid can fly, he runs a 4.5
40-yard dash. Filled needs later with CB
Patrick Lee and TE Jemichael Finley.
They also stole DE Jeremy Thompson in
fourth round. QB Brian Brohm could have
gone higher as well, basically they went
for value in all of the picks and really
didn't regard position so much which
builds a really strong team over time.
