Ted Thompson talks about draft pressure, needs, hits and misses

Green Bay — The man every Green Bay Packers fan pretends to be this time of year has no problem with all the NFL draft pressure falling squarely on his shoulders. It's part of the job as the general manager.

When the Packers are on the clock, and time is ticking, it's on him to get the pick right.

"It's not a democracy," Thompson said. "We don't vote. Ultimately I make the call."

Thompson — possibly the most zip-lipped, poker-faced GM in the NFL — did not discuss any specifics again at his pre-NFL draft news conference Wednesday.
