I'll write up my self-fellating comments in this thread and let others tell me how much I suck in the Draft Grades thread.

I really believe this is the best Packers draft I've ever completed. I think this is the first year where I didn't pressure myself in any round at all to reach for a perceived need. I usually have one or two picks for either team I draft for where I think, "Damn. I shouldn't have been so anxious about stuff and just acquired some of the better talent that was available." I definitely had at least one like that for the Vikings. Not this time. God, I love this Packers draft. I love it so much I want to print it out and paste it over my wife's face in all of our framed wedding photos in the bedroom.

Marcus Peters was a gift. I really thought that should have been the Chiefs' #1 pick, so I was glad when he fell all the way to 30th overall.

The Alex Carter selection symbolizes my entire Packers draft. I already had taken Marcus Peters, and while the Packers needed some corners, they still had Shields and Hayward as respectable guys that you could start and not tank the defense. But Alex Carter was simply the best available player, and if I'm going to practice what I preach, you can never have enough really good corners. I'm quite happy with the pick now.

Daryl Williams may have people scratching their heads, but I really really like this player. I imagine he might get taken as late as the 4th or 5th round in a few weeks, but whoever takes him is going to have a player with the potential to be one of the best RTs in football.

Gabe Wright pissed everybody off when I took him in the 4th. That should tell you enough.

I freaking love Kyle Emanuel as a middle-late round pass rusher who could end up with a very nice NFL career. He reminds me a bit of Tamba Hali, where one or two extremely refined pass rush moves + balls-out effort every down can make him a very valuable player.

My Saccopoo pick of Zach Vigil was one of those things I just had to jump on. The fact that some draft analysts think he's in the top 5 ILBs means you have to take a player like that in the 6th round, especially when it's addressing your team's #1 position need going into the draft.

Nick Boyle is a good blocker who could be the 3rd TE immediately. I don't know about his value as a receiver longterm, but it's the 6th round-- that's where you start digging up small school talent to see what they can actually do.

Josh Robinson actually might be my 2nd or 3rd favorite pick in this entire draft. The Packers surprisingly don't have a need at RB, but I thought about Robinson's value as a bowling ball back (one or two carries each game, maybe) and as a pass catcher, and I thought, "This is one dimension the Packers don't have on offense." James Starks is a more balanced back, not as explosive, and not as good of a receiver out of the backfield when Aaron Rodgers needs one.

And finally, kccrow liked my Cody Wichmann pick. So I guess it wasn't that shitty after all.
