Packers GM Ted Thompson targeted by radical fans? The first two days of the 2012 NFL Draft have quickly unfolded and Packers’ GM Ted Thompson has fulfilled the wishes of most Packers fans by going defense, defense, defense. In press conferences at lambeau Field, Mr. Thompson has insisted these weren’t “need” picks, but I think we all know the truth (nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more). The similarities to the 2009 draft, with the trading up and the focus on defense and apparently, need, early on  reminded me of a fun little piece I wrote after that draft. I think it pretty much works again, so here it is, as originally written: In an amazing development, the NFL has just revealed that a sleeper cell of radical Packer fans successfully pulled off a plot to kidnap Packers GM Ted Thompson before the NFL draft and replace him with a look-alike puppet. Thompson was found this morning, bruised but otherwise unharmed, in a dumpster outside of a Holiday Inn in nearby Appleton, Wisconsin. T...

Green Bay Packers Draft Matchup: CB Janoris Jenkins vs. S Harrison Smith

North Alabama CB Janoris Jenkins I highly doubt CB Janoris Jenkins will still be avaliable when the Packers pick late in the first round of the NFL draft, but if he is, Ted Thompson has an interesting decision to make. On paper, Jenkins vs. Harrison Smith is a complete mismatch. Jenkins is by far the more talented and superior player. But when you factor in concerns about Jenkins...

2012 NFL Draft As the 2012 NFL Draft is about to begin, here are some things that have been whispered into my ear as well as some of my own opinions and predictions. Whisper: The Packers love Shea McClellin, but so do the Patriots, who pick just before them.

Packers Add Pass Rusher Perry

  Going into the 2012 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers had one thing on their mind, defense.

USC DE/OLB Nick Perry Saying that Ted Thompson and the Packers focused on defense in the 2012 NFL Draft wouldn’t be strong enough. Thompson used the Packers’ first six draft picks exclusively on defense before drafting Andrew Datko in the seventh round. The heavy emphasis on defense wasn’t the only difference in this years’ draft for the Packers. After trading up just three...

Perry a high-risk, high-reward pick for Packers

Via Fox Sports Wisconsin  |  April 27, 2012
GREEN BAY, Wis. Nick Perry is not a prototypical defensive player. The former USC standout is a lot of things: fast, athletic, quick and big with a knack for bringing down opposing quarterbacks in college at an elite rate. But it's the combination of those traits that makes Perry a difficult projection in the NFL. When Perry was selected by the Green Bay Packers with the 28th...

Daniels Should Make Quick Impact

Small defensive lineman has big potential as a pass rusher Watch Mike Daniels play against Oklahoma in last December’s Insight Bowl and you’ll immediately know why GM Ted Thompson spent a fourth-round pick on a defensive lineman who will probably never see more than 30 snaps in a game. The former Iowa star won’t be a starter because he’s too short (6’0″) to play end in...

Experts like Packers' second-round picks

There is very little reason to doubt Packers general manager Ted Thompson when it comes to the NFL draft. After all, during Thompson's seven years running the draft in Green Bay, he was the one responsible for drafting Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews, Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, B.J. Raji and Nick Collins, to name a few. So, after Thompson's newest class of draftees included...
