Should have mentioned also, through out the article there are also two highlighted links that take you to two corresponding articles on drafting also that were a worthwhile read......these are things the casual fan probably aren't aware of and thought those serious about draft stuff might be interested in.....
note to Mods: wasn't sure if this should have went into the main draft area on this site or not, but either way posted this mainly for Packer fans.... |

#5 really isn't surprising. Teams definitely don't want to admit it, but fans can affect the decision. Obviously, final decision makers like Bill Belichick, Ted Thompson, Ozzie Newsome, etc. whose job security is pretty high isn't going to let affect him what is best for the team long term.

Could also post it in the NFL Draft forum. I'll leave it since I think it can spur some good discussion.

I feel the OP falls in line with poor drafting teams far more than a man like TT. Hell, TT is known around the league for the faith he puts in his area scouts. Then again, as a public owned team TT might even hold a hair more stock than most when it comes to outside talk. Much truth to them being "Packers People".

I dunno about fans effecting TT much. Keep in mind, he's the guy with his first ever pick took Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, today it's a great pick, but according to Brandt and Harlan he walked up to Harlan and told him and was a bit worried Harlan might poo-poo the idea... He went that first draft not picking a guard too after we lost Wahle and Rivera. Suffice to say not too popular with Pack fans nationwide.
To make matters worse, the Justin Harrel pick did not endear him to many either and is still a sore spot...
I don't think he's ever given any consideration to what I think on draft day and I'll admit - that's probably for the best.
(Side Note) Anyone else notice Ted Thompson looks an awful lot like David Byrne formerly of the Talking Heads? http://entertainmenttoday.net/music/mreview/15299/2012/10/david-byrne-and-st-vincent-new-album-and-tour-collaboration-love-this-giant/
It's freakin' me out a little bit... |

YES I noticed it too. The David Byrne look.
I made a sig,
It's here if you want it.

I also wanted a place for fans to submit suggestions for the team.
Something run by the head office of the GBPackers.
Not something that they would actually use in the decision making process
but something everyone could look at and laugh and laugh and laugh.
There have been a lot of contributions to football from the fanbase.
Fanstasy football an example.
An open suggestionbox wouldn't be that crazy, as long as no one takes it seriouz.
