I spend a fair amount of time listening to the talking heads on Sirius XM NFL Network and it's been very noticeable this week how little I'm hearing about the Packers, especially seeing that we had a large number of top 100 picks. About the only thing I've heard Packer related is when they are talking about the philosophy of Atlanta drafting Penix.Wow. That's very interesting. Very thorough. Fascinating piece in there where he speculates on the effect the Trey Lance trade might have had on San Francisco's Super Bowl, a couple of months ago. Intriguing bit of "connecting the dots that might have been".
I was a little surprised with all that deep-diving, he couldn't find any time for the Jordan Love trade-up, but honestly, that's probably not as relevant to the majority of NFL fans as it is to us Cheesheads.
I just loved the way he broke down the total absence of rational reasoning (not to mention basic arithmetic) we saw on Day One with those Vikings trades. So many draft "experts" were ga-ga over those deals, because they looked really shiny and exciting if you only have a 30-second attention span, but like several of us on this board, Barnwell points out that it was utterly foolish to give up so many picks (over the span of two full drafts) for just one edge rusher. I love reading articles about the Vikings that use words such as "disaster", "mirage of mirages", "nightmare", and "huge mistake."![]()
Charlie Weis did say yesterday that he thought Dane Brugler's assessment of the Packers being the 6th best team in the NFL was a little too high. Everyone is convinced the Lions are better than us.
We're still a little under the radar league wide it appears and Gutekunst is well under the radar.
