Whew!  Nothing like a cold Blitz Beer after that Packer Draft.  Well I guess this year's strategy was to trade most of the picks away so as to only end up with 6 of them at the end.  Confusing.  Shedding those extra picks, the Rookie Pool cap allotment will be a smaller portion of the overall team salary cap.  I guess we got that going for us.  If that was a part of this year's strategy, is that going to help win those playoff games in January?

Starting the 2nd day of the NFL Draft at the bottom of the 6th round, thanks to trades, GM Sherman drafts DT Corey Williams, a decent enough pick, that goes the same for Center Scott Wells at the very end of the 7th round.  That 4th and 26 collapse against the Eagles last year seems to have influenced GM Sherman a bit, as the breakdown of this year's draft indicates:  2 DT's, 2 CB's, 1 Punter, 1 Center, 1 Def. Coordinator fired.

Every team in the NFC North appears to have gotten better this off-season.  Now the only way for the Packers to get better is for every player currently on the roster, to improve their play over last years disappointing 10-6 performance.  There's 2 ways to get to the Super Bowl.  The easy way; A bye week with 2 playoff wins, or the hard way; 3 playoff wins and travelling on the road.  You have to improve each year to do it the easy way.  We'll get a good indication of which way the Pack will take this year by watching them play on the road against the Vikings and Bears at the end of the season.  Thanks NFL.  Go Pack!  Have a cold one on me...
