[QUOTE="porky88, post: 71403, member: 489"] Martin was a great pick for the team. Why? It's getting back to the Ron Wolf philosophy. Always take a QB. That's what we did and it worked out numerous times for us. We got compensation for Hassleback, Brooks, Burnell. In round 5 we're not going to find anyone that's going to come in and make an impact right away. Obviously you get lucky with players like Terrell Davis but you can't rely on a round 5 pick to come in. Green Bay has an old QB. Favre is old. We have Rodgers. great. So when Favre is gone we have Rodgers and .... We bring in Martin. If he performs well in preseason some teams might like him. Maybe he does maybe he doesn’t. We're talking about a 5th round pick remember though. So it's not a make or break pick. If Martin does perform well in the preseason we can trade him or we have a solid backup. Both big pluses. Again 5th round pick we're talking about. If we trade him we're get more than a 5th for him. I'm talking a couple years down the road. QB's are very valuable now a days. It's a QB league. He has a all the physical traits to play in this league as well. He's got great size and an NFL arm. He's considered a developmental player that could start. Martin was a good pick [b]TAKING A QB IS NEVER A BAD PICK[/b] especially in today’s league and when your rebuilding like the Packers. I know plenty about Martin. Don't speak for me. I've got film on him. Both Florida and Furman. On one tape he rolls to his right throws to the opposite direction about 65 yards. That's an NFL arm. He can develop into a starter. He needs the right coaching to do so. McCarthy had developed QB’s before. Hodge is regarded as the 2nd MLB in this draft behind only D'Qwell Jackson. He's not a project either.
