Of course no one gets the last laugh regarding a draft until the NFL careers of the players selected can be evaluated. But just with regard to maneuvering within a draft, I disagree. As I posted above originally the Packers “gained” 114.2 points by trading picks #90 and #163 for #62. By trading pick #163 back to the Packers, the trade up for #62 (264 points) cost the Packers #90 (140 points), #197 (12.6 points), #224 (2 points) and #235 (no points). That means instead of having a 114.2 point advantage, the Packers have a 154.6 point advantage.  I understand you’re disappointed no OL, RB and perhaps QB was selected with the picks traded for #163 but keep in mind it could very well be the case that Thompson and staff either believed Manning was worth that “loss” or they didn’t see a huge difference between the prospects available at #197 and toward the end of the seventh round and the players available with their remaining comp picks and UFDAs. </blockquote>
