[QUOTE="freefromwhatyouare, post: 242201, member: 1531"] Draft Day 2006 The Green Bay Packers were trying to work a deal to move down out of the number #5 slot and their plan was to take Antonio Cromartie with their first selection later in the first round. The Packers wanted a 2nd round pick to move down in the first round and that was too much for any teams blood that day. As we know they stood pat at #5 and took AJ Hawk with the fifth selection in the first round. I liked Cromartie going into that draft. He was a solid pick I thought for San Diego at # 19. I knew the Packers wouldn't take him at #5, but I wonder if Woodson would have already made the move to safety and Harris and Cromartie would have been the corners the last few years. I think that would have made a huge positive difference in the quality of that defense over the past couple years. I like AJ but he needs to have a break out year this year or I really have to put him in the "bust" category of players from the 2006 draft. The Packers situation is somewhat similar this year with a high pick in the draft. I was for them moving down in that draft as I thought they would take Hawk. 2006 was a good draft for LB's going in and I thought they could get a LB as good as Hawk in the second round. I would like to see them keep the #9 this year. Some will say taking another highly regarded Ohio State player with a high pick is not what the Packers should do. The thought of a jinx regarding players coming out of Ohio State is a completely ridiculous notion brought on by journalists who have nothing better to write about. [/QUOTE]
