On The Packers Mock Draft, Veteran Free Agents, and FavreWatch

Print- Mocking the Draft has their latest and greatest Mock Draft 2.1 posted, and with the 23rd pick, the Green Bay Packers select OT Brian Bulaga - Iowa:
- Green Bay needs a lot of help at the tackle position and Bulaga can step right in and be a major upgrade. Aaron Rodgers is very pleased with this pick.
My first choice is help in the secondary, but Bulaga is a necessity if neither LT Chad Clifton or RT Mark Tauscher is resigned. There is still a long way to go in the draft evaluation and the NFL Combine is coming up soon.
- You won't find me going crazy over veteran free agents during the next few weeks. My general rule is that there's probably a good reason why they're no longer with their former team. Now it's the time of the year when other teams that have loaded up on veteran free agents start releasing their mistakes. First up is the Jaguars, who released two veterans they signed less than 12 months ago: WR Torry Holt and LT Tra Thomas. The opinion over at Big Cat Country is that Holt might be missed, but Thomas was a complete non-factor.
- Who spent money on a Brett Favre billboard? Hypothetically: would you even kick-in $5 to help pay for a billboard to try and convince your favorite player to stay or come back?

Vikings fans
are really coming out in force in the comments of that Favre article. Almost like they have nothing else to do.

Bulaga
I would be really happy w/ Bulaga!!! IMO, he is the 2nd best OT in the draft, behind Okung. The problem as I see it is that there is almost no chance he falls that far!! My guess is he goes in the top 15. Just too good a pass blocker to fall farther.
A more realistic pick is either Wilson the CB from Boise, Hughes the OLB from TCU or Graham the OLB from Mich. I really don’t think the OT that will be left are worth a 1st rd pick. So the Pack has to turn to a OLB or CB. Wilson has a good chance of being off the board too, so the best guess is they go for the best available pass rushing OLB.
I would prefer taking CB Kyle Wilson from Boise State because at the Senior Bowl practices he really showed his stuff (I may be a little biased cause I’m a Boise State fan), but if he doesn’t last that long we would have to consider an OLB unless Bulaga did fall to us
Good things come to those who wait - except the Lions and Browns

Brett Favre Billboard
Honestly, I can’t believe people would actually spend money on that. How does one convince their wife that this would be a good use of their money? Maybe the kind of people that would do this aren’t married…I don’t know. My wife is a HUGE Viking fan and suddenly a HUGE Favre fan (though it took her the entire preseason to admit it) and there is NO way she would be okay with spending money on a billboard to talk a player into not retiring. I just don’t get it…it had to be fronted by some millionaire with too much money on his hands or something.
Is anyone...
…interested at all in Joey Porter, now that the Dolphins have released him? Sign-and-trade Kampman to a 4-3 team, stick Porter in his spot?
I was just thinking about that today. I’m sure Porter wants a lot of $ though and I doubt TT is willing to give it up.

Billboard Time
This could be a Woodson type signing except Porter is unfortunately on the wrong side of 30 though if he could have another year and play like he has it would be a good signing similar to Darren Sharper on the Saints.
Porter hurtin' on em for the Packers!
That could be our catchy billboard saying like those creative guys over in MN!!
Reading the comments on yahoo...
…it’s kinda funny seeing all the vikings fans freaking out about the article. Rarely do any of them actually comment on the billboard itself though. Idiots.
