An Uneasily Optimistic Packer Fan » Brats & Beer

Well, here it is two days after the end of the NFL Draft, and I find myself in uncharted waters. Everywhere I look, I seem to encounter the same sort of conclusions about Green Bay’s draft day performance: It went okay. From the “experts” in the national media, to the outspoken of Packer Nation, to the average football fans at the office with no allegiance to Packerdom, everyone seems to think we made out pretty well. Come on folks, I expected someone to point out some overlooked gaffe by the Packer brass, some outcry that Ted Thomspon should have done this or shouldn’t have done that. Anyone?

I have even found myself becoming more optimistic about the future fortunes of the team in the days since the draft. The boys over the Wisconsin Sports Bar gave a short clinic on the whole zone blocking thing and how newly drafted lineman Daryn Colledge fits into that scheme, so I’m not feeling as uneasy about that pick as I was Sunday night. This is all too weird, I must be dreaming.
