So, you are sooo sick of hearing that the Packers need a CB you decided to start a thread so you could "hear" it more? LOL.
We just got Davon House, huh? What did he do last year that made you believe he was an NFL ready CB? I'm hoping for the best (as with every young Packer) but he should not be relied upon. And where is your argument that the Packers don't need a CB because just 4 drafts ago they used a premium pick - a second rounder, #60 overall - on that position?
If you are so sick of hearing the Packers needing a CB, why did YOU pick one in YOUR mock draft?
Thompson has shown us he doesn't have to use early picks to acquire CBs - neither Williams nor Shields were drafted. And he's shown us he isn't averse to picking a CB early - Pat Lee didn't work out but I'll bet that wouldn't deter him from picking another early if he deemed the player worthy at that spot.
All this meant in fun except I'd be interested in you pointing out where in post #3, #6, or #8 you believe I showed a lack of tact. I plead guilty to that charge in other posts but here I believe I have civilly disagreed with your opinion. IMO the only post on this thread that comes closest to lacking tact is the one to which I am responding. Not that it's a big deal.
In order.
As I said, I was open to the idea that I was wrong. I decided to find out.
How much of House did I see last year might be a more appropriate question, to answer it not much at all. And where exactly is that #2 pick now? last I heard he wasn't a Packer anymore.
But mom, everybody's doing it! Its just that simple. Everybody else picked a CB, often in the first four (three in the first). I don't percieve it as a need, but was willing to give credence to those who did, so I picked one late. I also picked a wr, not exactly one of our needs IMO, but I've heard people doubt our ability to stretch the field.
IMO Ted is more consistent from the fourth on, I place complete faith in his late round choices. I can't even be sure I'd be upset if TT takes a CB in the first at this point. It would depend on his other picks.
in the light of your last post, none of your posts in this thread show a lack of tact. #3 and #8 I had no real problem with. #3 you tried to deduce my opinion, while I was deliberately trying to obscure it in order to (hopefully) receive a more unbiased opinion from responses. simple misunderstanding. #8 you simply stated your opinion, the purpose of this thread. It was #6 that flared my temper, I, to my chagrin, interpreted your tongue-in-cheek remarks as aggression and responded in a most inappropriate manner. I apologize. As I said, I've been upset over this for a while. In certain situations a singular lapse of tact can become a VERY big deal.
