I still can't get the Ted Thompson press conference out of my head this week.

I shut my eyes for just a second, and I swear I was listening to Forrest Gump.

"Momma always said, life was like a box of chocolates.  You never know what one you might get."

But on draft day, Thompson the man is just like Gump the movie...nearly everything he does, turns to gold.

If the Packers stay with the 30th overall selection, my bet is that they take future LT Sam Baker.  Chad Clifton is getting old, and Ted Thompson was the only GM at USC pro day.  CB Antoine Cason and Aqib Talib, or TE's John Carlson and Dustin Keller also remain possibilities.  Esteemed Journal Sentinel writer Bob McGinn thinks the Packers could even trade out of the first round all together, so we'll see.

We'll have live coverage from Titletown all weekend...and hopefully when it comes time to pick, "Forrest" Thompson won't pull a "Gump" by pounding too many sodas and proclaiming "I gotta pee" when it's go time!
