Green Bay, ya know, sometimes you walk into Kroll's West on Ridge Road thinkin' you know what butter burger you're gonna order, and then you see the special, and everything changes. That's kinda how this NFL Draft felt for the Green Bay Packers this year. I mean, after letting Brandon McManus go, I thought we'd for sure see a kicker earlier, but hey, Gutey had other plans. We went big, ya know? Jordan Morgan, Edgerrin Cooper – those are names that Green Bay fans are already learnin' to love. It was a draft that addressed some real needs, especially on that offensive line and in the middle of our defense, where we've been lookin' for some punch.
The mood here in Green Bay? It's that classic Wisconsin blend of cautious optimism and "prove it on the field." People are talkin' about how Jordan Morgan is gonna protect Jordan Love, and how Edgerrin Cooper is gonna fly around the field. We needed some fresh legs and some nastiness, and it feels like we got it. This class is lookin' **promisin'**. There's a buzz, a quiet hum that says, "Alright, let's see what these young fellas can do." It ain't euphoria just yet, but it's a good start, a real good start.
Sixty titles of cold and Lambeau still stands — go Pack go.
Ya know, Keith and the whole gang are talkin' all about this tomorrow mornin' over at mornings.live.
