Packers should draft a qb

Filed under: Draft — Administrator @ 8:27 am

I’m going to go out on a limb and guarantee Green Bay drafts a qb. How high the pick is might give some insight on how good Ted Thompson feels about Aaron Rodgers. If he uses one of his three top picks then he might not feel entirely comfortable Rodgers is the guy. I’m thinking third round he looks for the best qb still on the board. Guys who might be available in that round are Colt Brennan(Hawaii), Andre Woodson(Kentucky), and Erik Ainge(TN). You might remember Ainge for torching the Badgers for 365 yards in the outback bowl back on Jan. 1st. He’s the biggest of the three at 6′5, 225. If Thompson is nervous about Rodgers he may grab Brian Brohm in the first round but I really feel it will be one of these guys in the third or even fourth round. I hope Thompson doesnt wait too long or they could be gone. They most likely will be holding a clipboard all season long but they do need that time to learn the Packer offense. They could even be the #2 qb if Thompson decides to roll the dice and not bring in a veteran quarterback. My choice would be to sign Trent Dilfer now and get him in to the mini camps and OTA’s so he is up to speed with the offense also. There isn’t much else out there for a decent veteran qb, don’t procrastinate Ted!
