Another QB in Round 7


The Packers are now set at QB for 2008 after taking LSU's Matt Flynn in the 7th round. With two young guns behind Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay should be good to go into the year with two rooks behind the first year starter. If they would ink a veteran, Flynn could maybe be stashed on the practice squad, or have him come up with an "injury" in camp and hide him on IR..
