As usual, Terrible Ted wasted a first round even though there was a plethora

Terrible Ted?? Do you mean, Terrible Ted- NFL G.M. of the Year?? Clearly you are high.

I would give gb an 'F' grade in this years draft.
Now he signs 11 undrafted rookies to make up for his gaffe.
gb, a doomed franchise

He is a joke, isn't he?

ted knows what hes doing. don't get fooled by big names that other teams will pick. ted is the best at finding gems and not falling for bust. jordy nelson will be a special player even though we are already deep at wide reciver.

TT I CANT STAND THAT MAN HE'S NEVER GONE GET THA PACKERS A CHAMPIONSHIP CAUSE HE DOSEN TAKE CHANCES OWN BIGTIME PLAYERS EVEN THO THEY GOT THA MONEY AND I BET THATS THA REASON Y FARVE DONE IS BECAUSE OF TT HE GOT LUCKY LAST SEASON WE NEEDED A GOOD RUNNINBACK R CORNER NOT WIDEOUT FOR THA FIRST PIC

Okay explain how he is doing bad. He moves down in drafts to scarf up more players. this team is not going anywhere but up and I predict them in the playoffs again this year. You all TT haters are stupid and have no knowledge about how things work. Look at Brady, look at Grant, look at many other late round draft picks that have turned into great players. He wants to sign the most players to see who would be the best at each position. It wasnt like we NEED something currently, our team is stacked, so we moved down to get more picks so we could have more to choose from when we pick starters.

The Pack had needs last year that were glaring and were lucky to make the championship game. Imagine what would have happened if we had a couple of guards who could block and had had a running game in the loss to the NYG. We would have won hands down. Alternatively, we needed another strong D-back to slow down Manning, who was also fortunate to have a good O-line and running attack. TT's draft did little to address those glaring weaknesses, which Favre helped cover up on the O-side with his masterful 2007 performance. No QB is going to be successful until the Packers have a consistent running game, and that requires better guards.
