I think free agency is to help put your team over. I always said you build through the draft and then you strike in free agency when you need that little push in the final direction. I felt Ron Wolf really put the 96 team over the top because of free agency.

I think GB has built via the draft the best you can do. Now would be the time to make a big move in my opinion.

With that said I'd be shocked to see Ted Thompson sign more than one mid tier guy. I'd be shocked to see Thompson sign someone in the first week. Nothing against Thompson yet, but his philosophy is very conservative when it comes to the off season.

I also would be shocked if Ted moved quickly. Hope for one impact player but i wouldn't bet the farm on it.

Didn't Ted Thompson sign Marquand Manuel like in the first week or so?

Not one of TT's better signings, as has been stated by some in other threads, this doesn't look like the year for The Packers to sign a top tier FA.
There are plenty of qb's out there, not a need, there are plenty of LB's out there, IMHO not a huge need, there are a couple of Centers on the market, if Ted does make a move it might be in that area.

Time to sit back and wait and see.

Mucky Tundra (20h) : I may end up eating those words but I think they need a lot more talent then their 4 picks can provide

Mucky Tundra (20h) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (20h) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.
