That's a polluted mindset Delta  

Perhaps you'd like to share the full list of all the 5th round QBs who worked out or were developed into better picks or players ?  Or you could share the list of 1st round QB busts that amounted to absolutely nothing despite years of development.

Either would offer more insight & context than yet another agenda-driven "Woops"

Tim Boyle chances to make the team just went up, if he ever does anything in the NFL that would be one of the weirdest success stories ever.  He was putrid in college.

Getting anything more than a 7th rd pick after his performance last season is a win in my book

Good for Hundley. That's a MUCH better fit. Wish him well.

Hundley seems like a nice guy so I'm happy for him. Shocked we got a 6th.

At least they did this prior to me posting what I think the 53-man roster will be. Much appreciated

I feel like the majority of 5th round picks don't even finish their rookie contracts...getting something in return is better than nothing.

Lol dangit, I tried to make one too.

Any guesses on the compensation? 

A bologna sandwich on three day old bread?

Still a loss but it’s better than nothing.

 

Better not keep Boyle on the 53

[Golfman]

Gute should have locked up GM of the year award for getting anything for Hundley!

Since 1990, 333 out of 838 fifth round players have made it to their fifth season.  So yes, the majority (60%) never make it to their fifth year.  Hundley = Success.

If Boyle has a big game he makes the 53 unless he comes up with a mysterious injury and placed on IR.

Per the Associated Press, sources close to the team say this was a cost cutting move that trickled down from Ted Thompson. As part of his new role, Ted watches over some financial matters and it is reported that he was against having to provide buckets of Double Bubble in the locker room and on the sidelines. After a phone call to Mark Attanasio to see if he could obtain unused or outdated buckets of the pink stuff failed, Ted made a strong recommendation that the Packers roll with the non gum chewing Kizer instead

Certainly better than nothing, however, we'll never know if there was more value to trading him before he had to play last year. I think there was a lot of talk that we came close to dealing him during the draft a year or so ago. Wonder what (if any) hard offers were made. Once he played last year I assumed no team in their right mind would give us anything for him so yea, at this point, a 6th rounder is a win.

You could argue Hundley had no business making it this long either........but, I guess we don't need to go there. I'm just happy Seattle bit and gave up the pick.

I'd have to imagine we weren't getting much more than a Day 2 pick, which is obviously a huge step up from what we actually received for Hundley.  The problem is that you can't go into the season with Joe Callahan and Taysom Hill as your backup QBs, and I have no desire to go through the Seneca Wallace debacle again.  The Packers clearly didn't feel that the uncertainty at the QB position was worth whatever the team was acquiring.  And quite frankly, I don't blame them.  Unfortunately, it didn't work out.
