Hello from Lambeau Field.  We had some computer connection issues last night and this morning, but we are ready to roll now.  The Packers made one of those puzzling picks under Ted Thompson to open the draft, but Jordy Nelson is the kind of guy who might be producing when mid-30 year old Donald Driver is declining.  And there is little doubt that Koren Robinson's indecisive running after the catch in the NFC Championship Game dropped him in the eyes of the organization.  Since the selection of Nelson, the Packers have addressed needs (whether immediate or not).  Getting a quarterback, a cornerback, a tight end, and a defensive end supplement positions that can always use quantity.  And mirale of miracles, Thompson even traded up for that last selection (the brother of current Packers o-lineman Orrin Thompson).  Maybe he'll only break tradition for guys who share his surname. Jeremy Thompson has a final on Monday in "Fathers and Daughters" at Wake Forest University and then he'll be eligible to graduate.  There are always a few interesting stories in a long draft weekend.  I'll be back later Sunday with another blog.
