It's been too long since pick 6s were common for the Packers. When was the last one? 2-3-4 years ago?

I fully, 110% expect to see the Packers pick up another OLB at cut down. There is no way they go in with Banged up Biegel, the two starters that are oft hurt, and Elliot, who also has an injury history I believe.
Fackrell was on my "do not draft" list...
Standing for the team photo - he looks the part; but, he simply doesn't have a single "quick twitch" muscle in his body. The plays he made in college - he barely made; I think it was obvious from the git-go that he wouldn't be able to compete at the NFL level.
When it comes to evaluating LB's - it seems like TT is always on the lookout for players that played the game the way he did, i.e. smart, technically sound, but in the end unathletic with a complete inability to actually make a play.
You would think that after all these years TT and the staff would be able to do some self-scouting and get this shit corrected, but they never do.
This does seem like perhaps the weakest area on the team. It's like back in the day. Spahn and Sain and pray for rain.
But what kind of dregs are going to be available at cutdown? Even solid OLB's are in short supply in the NFL, specially ones who can rush the passer a little bit.
Is it too late to convert Christian Ringo?
Yup, TT builds his draft board around boring, bad athletes. That is why the GBP haven't made the playoffs for eight years running.
Ahmad Brooks is available. He is the perfect stop gap type guy. Would sign him immediately if off-the-field and health checks out.
Yes he is.

Just so you know Rand, SPRIGGS™, is now trademarked.
Fackrell has speed and little else. Who was the other athletic prospect Ted had at OLB? Jeremy Thompson was it? KF looks worse on a pass rush.
