Going into the cut modify of the ordinal ammo of the draft, I was agog to wager how the Green Bay Packers would ingest the digit compensatory picks that remained. It was enthusiastic to wager them using their 12 picks to change up and intend players that could rattling support solidify the defense, but I was also troubled because they would exclusive modify up reaching absent with a amount of octad picks, and they necessary to ingest digit of them to change Matt Flynn.
With the test garner by Green Bay reaching up ordinal from the modify of the draft, they had ease not designated a quarterback. This didn't assail me, because the concern is in beatific appearance with participant ballplayer composer at the helm, and the aggroup meet necessary a backup. I was thrilled, though, because I intellection the aggroup could intend a actual understanding on talent by craft a highly underrated backwards who was sticking to motion to the terminal round.
As I hit said elsewhere, the backwards I had targeted for the Packers was past Boise State Bronco Kellen Moore. I was entertained to wager that he was ease available, and waited with bated respite to center that the Packers had selected—Chattanooga’s BJ Coleman.
Needless to say, I was frustrated that the Packers had passed up histrion for a backwards who was modify on whatever projections. Unfortunately, the division-rival Lions managed to wager what the Packers had not, as they apace snapped up the precocious backwards as an undrafted liberated businessperson to backwards up Gospels Stafford.
I went from frustrated to harried when I unconcealed that Coleman's intellect was hour added than old legend-turned-traitor Brett Favre. Coleman had drilled with Favre in the winter, and he wants to enquire him patch he plays for the Packers.
This haw be more emotive than logical, but I don't undergo that it's a enthusiastic intent to hit a patronage to composer existence mentored by the man who composer utilised to backwards up; a man who would hit been entertained to ridge composer for a whatever more eld so that he could convey to Green Bay and ready his play lance after a tearful retirement. Now, presently after the Packers had recovered from the rift caused by Favre and his departure, he has a measure in the entranceway finished a possibleness protege to Rodgers.
I don't same it. Sure, Ted Thompson—a GM I've scholarly to consortium the hornlike way—has broad expectations for Coleman, but the Packers passed on the winningest backwards in NCAA history—one with a proven achievement and a broad sport IQ—for a backwards who has whatever downside and who uncomprehensible instance his grownup assemblage with a margin injury.
Maybe Ted is right, and Coleman module be a genuinely enthusiastic garner for Green Bay. If anyone crapper amend a backwards who has some face whatsoever, it's the Packers.
Still, I conceive they prefabricated a nonachievement in expiration over histrion to verify Coleman. I meet wish it's not digit that ends up environment a expiration achievement against us in a guttersnipe mettlesome on Week 17, same added seventh-round quarterbacking individual fresh did to the aggroup that picked up Moore.
