The best pick the Packers made this weekend based on when he was selected will be third round tight end Jermichael Finley.  He is very young and has some off-field things to get cleaned up, but he has the physical dimensions and the athletic ability to become a perfect NFL tight end.  And Mike McCarthy is very capable of utilizing a tight end in his offensive scheme.  Finley will likely be an inconsistent tease this season, but look for big things from him in the future.  It will be very interesting to see how the quarterbacks do this weekend during rookie orientation.  There have been guys in the past who seemed like intriguing prospects who were simply overwhelmed right off the bat.  You could tell that some of those guys just weren't going to be able to get it done.  I am personally looking forward to eyeballing Brian Brohm and Matt Flynn.  No matter how good McCarthy is with quarterbacks, it would be a mistake not to have a veteran of some standing on the roster this year.  Could that still be Brett Favre ?  General manager Ted Thompson's quote on Sunday of  "you can never say never" will only keep the notion alive.  Depending on your perspective, that could be a huge mistake, but knowing Thompson, maybe that's getting everybody all worked up about Favre might just be part of the plan.
