The deal to Green Bay was all but done, just a couple of days before the draft. I remember telling Gmanc that I had just heard the trade was all but official and would be announced on draft day. But then things started unraveling. The Packers would offer no higher than a 5th when just a couple of days before it was going to be a 4th or even a 3rd. They wouldn't guarantee Moss some money even though they have it and Favre even offered to restructure his deal to pay Moss.

But it was probably a culmination of several things; the last two years their first picks have been defensive players, they didn't take care of Javon Walker (I don't really remember all the details of that actually), they let Ahman Green go.
