Packers Awarded Compensatory 7th Round Draft Pick Not really what we want! We wanted FA not draft picks. At least I do.
Here's the story: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=582313 The new pick is #33 in the 7th round, 243 overall. That's "Mister Irrelevant" territory... Here's a list of all of the compensatory picks: 3 (96) San Diego 3 (97) San Francisco 3 (98) Indianapolis 3 (99) Oakland 4 (132) Pittsburgh 4 (133) Atlanta 4 (134) Baltimore 4 (135) San Francisco 4 (136) Indianapolis 4 (137) Baltimore 5 (170) Pittsburgh 5 (171) New England 5 (172) San Diego 5 (173) Indianapolis 5 (174) Baltimore 6 (207) Baltimore 6 (208) New England 6 (209) New England 6 (210) Seattle # 7 (243) Green Bay 7 (244) Atlanta 7 (245) Tampa Bay 7 (246) Tampa Bay 7 (247) New England 7 (248) St. Louis 7 (249) St. Louis 7 (250) New York Giants 7 (251) Jacksonville 7 (252) Jacksonville 7 (253) Cincinnati 7 (254) Oakland 7 (255) Detroit
I sorted them out alphabetically: Atlanta Atlanta Baltimore Baltimore Baltimore Baltimore Cincinnati Detroit Green Bay Indianapolis Indianapolis Indianapolis Jacksonville Jacksonville New England New England New England New England New York Giants Oakland Oakland Pittsburgh Pittsburgh San Diego San Diego San Francisco San Francisco Seattle St. Louis St. Louis Tampa Bay Tampa Bay Baltimore & New England have the most with 4 woo-hoo championship!
How unfair. The best we got was a 4th rounder possibly for Chester Taylor, I'd expected at least a third. Maybe AD to the Patriots might award us a third next year.

The awarding of compensatory picks is one of the parts of the game that I don't like. It's too subjective and gives palm greasers a chance to buy an edge.

Yeah, right. I just don't believe the Patriots front office should be rewarded for stupidity. The GM's job is to make a decision about keeping players or letting them go. Why should they get picks for letting players go? I'm sure Adam V. is happy about being let go. He got another Super Bowl ring out of the deal.
No I'm saying you leave out the facts that don't benefit your point. This is an arbitrary decision agreed upon by the owners. This isn't some conspiracy to keep the Pats Dynasty afloat.
You're basically falling in line with the national media's view that the loss of Vinatieri is what made the difference between winning & losing that AFC title game which is not only ignorant but wrong. Locking up Adam early on if possible would've been wise, but shelling out $3 mil per year for a kicker would have been far more "stupid" IMO.
-blarg- This is about the PACKERS not the PATRIOTS. get back on topic and move this conversation somewhere else you two.

Do you have an actual quote or should I throw this, with the "ignorant" and "wrong" labels, in the baseless accusation pile? I said that it might the difference before they met last year, but never said it did after they met. However, the story isn't over yet. Adam V. hasn't retired. The Colts and Patriots could meet in a pivital game this season and Adam might get an opportunity to kick the Patsies out of the playoffs. (or the Patsies kicker, whatshisname, might not make a kick that Adam would have) Besides, all I said was that Adam V. must be glad that the Patriots let him go to the Colts because he got another Super Bowl ring out of the deal. How slowly must I type these posts so that people can keep up. Geez. DPG, are you talking to me?

I have no problem w/ the Pats gaining picks but its not because its a conspiracy (I can't believe I typed that... I'm off to the hospital to see if I'm okay) but its because Pioli & Belichick are the NFL's equivalent of Mensa. BTW; The paragraph above is a perfect example of sarcasm. As are these sentences.

Yeah please let's discuss the 243rd pick of the 2007 NFL draft. I'm all a flutter as to whom the Packers might pick here! :surrender:

The 243rd pick may not be "the" irrelevant pick but for all intents it is virtually irrelevant.

Thank you, and shut up for once.
