Packerville is Back
Well, the vacation was wonderful... and, we did pretty much miss the entire NFL Draft while traveling to Washington, D.C. But, from reading the online reports and the various “grades” given the Packers by “the experts,” it looks as though Green Bay’s draft is not exactly being hailed around the League as a monumental one. By most accounts, General Manager Ted Thompson “reached” too high to take Defensive Tackle Justin Harrell (Tennessee — 6'4" / 310 lbs.) “It’s a position that the Packers are well stocked at,” they say. Well, we’ll see. Not being experts on college football, our standard answer to the question “how do you think the Packers did in the Draft?” is: “We’ll tell you in three or four years.”
Harrell wore #92 at Tennessee, but with that being Reggie White’s number — and a retired number by the Packers, at that — he will wear #91 for Green Bay.
