I was only "one notch above" that in my desires, I also wanted a mid level FA signing in addition to what you 2 wanted.  Gute didn't sign a top TE, but signed Funchess, so none of the 3 of us (and some others got our wish).  But I will say, I felt a bit better when Funchess was signed.All that said, I still stand by my original observation, for those fans banking on a rookie to immediately step in and make a big difference, be careful with your bets.  Is it reasonable to expect them to contribute?  Sure, but I think it is also reasonable to expect them to struggle somewhat their first season or two.I don't think many would argue against the fact that the Packers needed a big upgrade at WR and TE over what we saw last season, have they done that yet?  No, not IMO.  Will adding Funchess, hopeful development of some of the younger guys and adding a high pick rookie be enough to make a difference, I hope so, but I am not betting on it.</blockquote>
