So Ted and I Had a Good Draft
Went 2 For 2, Then Quit While Ahead!

Packers GM Ted Thompson is harder to read than a World Series of Poker champion come draft time. But I will say ol' Teddy and me had a pretty good draft this year.
Reason being? I said the Pack would pick Derek Sherrod at 32, and Randall Cobb in the second round. Don't believe it? Here's the proof: http://www.todaystmj4.com/bloggers/lanceallan/120883314.html
The help was I had an NFL source tell me the Packers really wanted and needed a return specialist, and really liked Cobb. And the former Kentucky QB could be a wildcat option down the road, since mad scientist Mike McCarthy and his offensive mind would love to tinker in the lab and come up with more wrinkles.
After going two for two, you're playing with house money. With Teddy T, that might never happen again...so I walked away before the Pack picked RB Alex Green in the third round!
Now if I could parlay this into something really valuable or useful...
