Why do the Packers seem to be blind to Badger football players when they are so close to Green Bay.

[QUOTE="DevilDon, post: 459397, member: 2057"] It's simple economics folks and your draft board. If we could have had Joe Thomas at our pick he'd be a Packer. If we could have had Russell Wilson in the 7th we'd have him. We don't have anybody from Purdue on the squad do we? But we have a guy from Louisiana Tech and one from Central Florida. You may know Wisconsin players, but what do you know about Central Florida players? I think positions are devalued by need during a draft. So if a WR is a blue chipper and you are the Packers they become red chips and so on down the line. That's how GMs can say they picked the best on the board. It's hard to argue the Packers got good value throughout the draft. I still think Manning and Datko will be productive. Would have loved to see Russel Wilson in camp, I think he's going to be special but no chance I'd change those middle round picks for the Packers. Are we all assuming Rodgers will miss a great length of time as starter this year? [/QUOTE]
