Packer fans aren't happy with Green Bay's top draft pick today, and they let General Manager Ted Thompson know about it.
From jsonline.com:
Despite being cascaded with boos as he addressed fans in the Lambeau Field Atrium, Packers general manager Ted Thompson stood by his pick of Tennessee defensive tackle Justin Harrell.
Never mind that Harrell only played three games last season because of a ruptured biceps in his left arm, Thompson said he was the top player left on the Packers' draft board and was someone who might have been a top 10 pick had he stayed healthy this year.
Thompson seemed almost irritated when asked how he could put so much faith in someone who didn't have a senior year. He admitted he might have been able to move back in the first round and still get Harrell, but "none (of the trade offers) we felt were of real value. We didn't want to move back too far" and miss out on him.
Thompson heard the boos from the fans who wanted him to draft someone on offense. He said there was still a lot of the draft left.
