		General manager Ted Thompson has said publicly that he doesn't do things "based on one player or three players or five players" and that his concern will always be the overall good of the Packers, so it's clear he isn't signing players just to please Favre.
		Thompson insists that the Packers aren't through adding players and will compete for anyone who is cut or on the trading block, but it's clear his options are limited.
		Thompson wouldn't say specifically why he didn't try harder to sign Robinson, but either he had reservations about his recovery from alcohol abuse or didn't think he was worth overpaying in an attempt to pry him from the Vikings.

		Ever since Thompson was hired as the Packers general manager, he has repeatedly stated his philosophy concerning the NFL draft was this: 1) always take the best athlete, regardless of positions, and 2) the draft is about the future.
		But if Thompson adheres to his draft philosophies, there’s going to be a third quarterback on the Packers’ roster next season and an expensive one.
		But it was Thompson who invested a late, first-round pick on Rodgers last year, so you know he’s going to extremely reluctant to take another QB this year.

		One of them was defensive tackle, and Packers GM Ted Thompson nicely plugged that by signing free-agent defensive tackle Ryan PIckett, who played last season for St. Louis.

		Dan, you may be right when you say building a team starts in the draft, but with Thompson pulling the strings, the only thing he is going to build is a huge mess for the next Packers GM to clean up.

		Teddy Thompson could be like the kids of some musicians and coast on his parents reputation putting out likable music.
		For those that don't know Teddy is the son of famed writer/singer/guitarist Richard Thompson (a former member of folk-rock group Fairport Convention and solo artist) and folk singer Linda Thompson Kenis (she recorded a stunning series of albums with her former husband and has recently begun recording again).
