Draft Day Fall Out

It turns out that I am not brilliant at picking the NFL draft. Oh well, add it to the list. Here is who the Packers actually drafted and when:
Round# Overall# Packers' Pick
1 16 JUSTIN HARRELL, DT, Tennessee
2 47 Traded to Jets along with 7th-round pick (235) for Jets' picks in rounds 2 (63), 3 (89) and 6 (191)
2 63 BRANDON JACKSON, RB, Nebraska (Acquired from Jets)
3 78 JAMES JONES, WR, San Jose State
3 89 AARON ROUSE, SS, Virginia Tech (Acquired from Jets)
4 112 Traded to Steelers for Pittsburgh's picks in rounds 4 (119) and 6 (192)
4 119 ALLEN BARBRE, OT, Missouri Southern St. (Acquired from Steelers)
5 157 DAVID CLOWNEY, WR, Virginia Tech
6 191 KOREY HALL, LB/FB, Boise State (Acquired from Jets)
6 192 DESMOND BISHOP, LB, California (Acquired from Steelers)
6 193 MASON CROSBY, K, Colorado
7 228 DeSHAWN WYNN, RB, Florida
7 235 Traded to Jets
7 243 CLARK HARRIS, TE, Rutgers

On the surface this looks like a total failure of my pre-draft picks, but lets see if we can do some spinning. First, I had the Moss deal getting done for a fourth rounder, point for me. I did have the deal getting done to the wrong team, lose the point. I thought the Packers might take upto 2 line man, they only took 1, thats not so bad. I went with the pre-draft nine picks and not the actual 11, so bear that in mind. I had us taking one TE, one safety, one linebacker, two receivers and two running backs- all of which we did, though I was way off on who and where. We did not draft a quarterback (though we did sign one), and we did draft a kicker and FB. Also I had no idea we would take a DT. So looking back at from a certain perspective, I did awful, but from another perspective, I just did pretty awful.

hey- i think we need a different scoring system for our Finals picks. Maybe we should just take away points for number of games you are off of their final total, THUS the winner is the score closest to zero. That seems easier to me..anywho- GO PACK
