[ReasonablySober]

Lot of trades, none of which are reasonable.

Michael Johnson will go closer to the 4th than the 1st.

[eagle13]

Cole is gone

[Lippo]

yeah he's off my depth chart, just didnt adjust the signings portion correctly

[automatic44]

I think you need to give up on Peppers, there's no realistic chance of him coming here. I don't see us cutting Wynn, the front office and coaching staff are real high on him right now, and he finished last year on a high note, despite his best game coming against Detroit. Don't want anything to do with Micheal Johnson.

[ReasonablySober]

I'm fine with Michael Johnson, just with our second third rounder.

[automatic44]

I'd be willing to give him a shot at the bottom of the third, preferably fourth if he's around. Even then, I still may look at what else is available. Theres no doubt he's gifted, but the guy only shows up for a few plays a game.

[Lippo]

There moved Johnson down, got Beaaty instead of Meredith, and solidfied chances of getting Gilbert.

[ReasonablySober]

Why don't you do a mock without all the trades?

Even the one with the best chance of happening is still remote because it means the Packers are giving Detroit a shot at a franchise QB.

Also, you even have the Packers cutting or releasing Bush, Kuhn, Hunter and Martin even though they were each given $1 million dollar tenders. Maybe they sign with other teams and the Packers don't match, but you're cutting a lot of guys that will come extremely cheap.

I'd be curious to see where you think the Packers might go without all the over the top moves.

Say No Trades : Boring

How many trades has Thompson made for players since becoming GM?

Besides trading for Grant and pawning off Williams to the Browns for a 2nd rounder, i'm coming up blank. He also avoids free agency for the most part, yet you have him making three trades and four free agent signings.

[MikeIsGood]

No trades may be "boring," but it's more realistic. Until we start to hear more concrete rumors about who will be swapping picks, it's all just a guessing game. More of a fantasy offseason than a mock draft, I guess. I think that's maybe what DB was getting at.
