Just read this article at Packers.com. Thompson's top 10 draft picks as GM. Overall kinda interesting, but one sentence that struck me, since it was a topic of debate in January or February.
The writeup on Clay Matthews begins w/ this sentence... "The Packers had Matthews rated as a top-15 talent and, when he was still on the board in the early 20s, Thompson made a stunning but shrewd move."
As I have stated repeatedly and gotten into various discussions over, the Packers had Matthews rated very high on their draft board. I mentioned ABOUT 12th overall and this article backs up my assertion that Matthews was indeed rated very highly by the Packers, when they moved up from the 2nd round to the 26th pick to draft Matthews.
Just thought I would share the very interesting article and findings with everyone. I'm sure some of you may have already read it.
