[QUOTE="Andy, post: 221450, member: 277"] I posted this earlier in the draft section of this forum. I don't think there is any doubt that the Packers will take a QB sometime in the draft. It depends who has the most value at the time on TT's draft board. [b]Packer Report.com Pre-draft position analysis By Bob Fox greenbaybob @ hotmail.com Posted Apr 10, 2008 Packer Report’s Bob Fox names quarterback prospects that the Packers might select The Green Bay Packers have a lot of options in terms of picking a quarterback in the 2008 NFL draft. The Packers will certainly pick a QB in the draft, but when depends on Ted Thompson's draft board. Currently, the Packers don't have anyone with real experience backing up Aaron Rodgers at QB, unless the Packers bring back Craig Nall. And even Nall has limited experience. Veteran possibilities that the Packers may pursue include Trent Dilfer, Tim Rattay and Kelly Holcomb.
