    Bad Drafts

    There's a lot written around here about TT's drafts. But, longing for the good old days, I went to NFL.COM's full draft history of the Packers, to remember the 1980's.

    1981, Rich Campbell, Gary Lewis (TE), and Ray Stachowicz as the top 3 choices.

    1982 Ron Halstom, Del Rodgers, and Robert Brown

    1983 Tim Lewis, Dave Dreschler and Mike Miller as the top 3

    I'd keep going, but the pain of all those wasted draft picks is just too much, I have to get some bourbon now.

    Tim Lewis was a TERRIFIC CB until his career was ended due to the discovery of his spinal stenosis.

    Dude was a stud at blocking FG's also. Is he still coaching in the NFL?

    We're also forgetting Bruce Clark (1st --1980) and Alphonso Carraker (1st - 1984)  in that list, too.

    That was the wrong Lewis who had the FG blocking skills--it was TE Gary Lewis.  Tim Lewis was a promising DB until his spinal condition was exposed in a hit he took against the Bears, at Lambeau, in '86.

    I didn't have enough bourbon to think about those guys.

    Here's my advice:  When you think of Packers draft picks from the '80s you need to start drinking heavily.  And take an extra belt if the words "he's a fine, young man" come up in the discussion.

    Pugger,

    Do you mean Tim Lewis?  (I don't think Harris had enough on the ball to coach).  Lewis is an assistant for the Carolina Panthers.

    Steve Atkins was a bust as a RB, but he was a fine, young man.

    Drink up!
