    Byron Stingily and Zach Clayton must feel out of place.

    Great draft class...

    I think the most exciting thing about THIS year's draft is the freedom to go nearly BPA (but most likely on D) in the first round this coming year.

    That freedom is a key step to getting better ahead.

    Get good players because we can, not because we're in desperate need of them.

    Very very true. That's what continually makes the packers better of late. And scary good

    The important thing here too, is that these guys are going to be in the locker-room for a while since they're staying on the team. A lot of times you have maybe 1-2 good players per draft class... so there's no core group there to lead in the future.

    I also get the feeling that a lot of our younger guys are going to be pretty faithful to the team.

    It's always better to have that core of guys around the same age instead of all strung out over periods of time. This is going to be a very young team.

    MR has done a solid job after the 2007 fiasco. Obviously the wild card is Locker but MR has done a great job of finding value. Getting decent players in the first three rounds isn't as difficult but when you get guys like McCarthy and Verner in the 4th round and Klug in the 5th, McCourty in the 6th that is how you build a championship.

    SS is the only position we have yet to hit on. We've drafted but none have produced, need one of em in this draft. And a relatively high one I think. Last years motto in the late picks were to take the guy next to the star playing,

    Clayborn/klug
    Fairley/Clayton
