So I take it you didn't have him anywhere close to beginning of the 4th?

Have a feeling Ted is going to revisit Free Agency to get his RB. Maybe Blount, maybe Jamal Charles. Just a feeling.
the philly shit is getting real old. i might be done for the day after our next pick cause i just can't take it anymore
My guy Tarik Cohen just went to the Bears. He went to school at NC A&T just up the road in Greensboro. He's exciting to watch. Perhaps the next Darren Sproles. I wanted him.
Good the Redskins grabbed Perine so he didn't become our problem. Hopefully we won't go with some other big clod either. Mack, however, wouldn't be too bad.
decent interview with biegel from the combine. says he can add a bit of weight or lose a little and feels comfortable playing OLB or ILB in a 3-4. sounds about like what we need

Getting Biegle actually makes me feel better about drafting King yesterday. We needed an OLB badly.
Some may scoff, but if John Crockett recovered from his injury and can give it another go this training camp, he may surprise. I liked him as a UDFA out of ND State.
Dorian Johnson who's been at the top of Woodbuck's list for about 2 rounds now finally goes to the Cardinals.
Looks like Brantley might end up going undrafted? Situations like his (and La'el Collins) should go into the supplemental draft.
Anybody like this guy? :
81. Brian Hill, RB, Wyoming
I doubt it will happen, but Corey Clement wouldn't be a bad pick also - hell yeah I'm a HOMER.
Top Prospects remaining at TT's Pick in Round Four Pick NO. 28 and 134 overall:

Welp, there's your RB - Jamal Williams
Jamaal Williams - wouldn't have been my choice, but not a horrible pick
OK so TT does pick a RB but I'm not overjoyed about this selection.:
Round 4 Pick NO. 28 (134 Overall) Packers Williams, Jamaal RB 6'0" 212 BYU 5.3

OVERVIEW
Williams led the Cougars in rushing in all four seasons in which he played, even though he has had off-field and injury issues during his time in Provo. The all-state pick from California played immediately as a true freshman, starting eight games and rushing for 755 yards and 12 touchdowns on 166 carries. He also added 315 yards and a touchdown on 27 receptions. Williams was an FBS All-Independent team pick as the full-time starter in 2013, gaining 1,233 yards and scoring seven times on 217 totes (18-125 receiving). His junior season was derailed by a knee injury and suspension for multiple team code violations, including an underage drinking citation. He rushed for 518 yards and four scores in seven games that year, still leading the team in rushing. Williams sat out the 2015 season entirely after withdrawing from school for personal reasons, always intending to return for his senior season the following fall. He carried the mail for the Cougars 234 times in 2016, accumulating 1,375 yards and scoring 12 times, though he missed three games with an ankle injury. He finished fifth in the country with 137.5 yards per game last fall, in part thanks to a 287-yard, five-touchdown effort against Toledo before the ankle injury occurred.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Carries NFL size with a muscular build and good height. Able to bend at point of impact and attack with decent leverage. Uses his stiff arm as a weapon to escape tackles on an angle. Decisive runner. Sees it and goes. Not into dancing. Has a functional spin move he uses to spin out of tackles and grind out a few extra yards. Keeps his feet churning through contact. Above average ball security with a fumble rate of 140 (one fumble every 140 carries).
WEAKNESSES
Bulls through running lanes crashing into blockers rather than shifting with the contours. Doesn't have athleticism to create early yardage for himself. Missing a functional jump cut for sudden shift from gap to gap once line of scrimmage muddies. Hit or miss with run lanes he chooses. Excessive forward lean creates issues with contact balance. Too easily felled by arm tackles. Banger, but not a tackle breaker. Doesn't have the speed to turn the corner when runs spill outside.
DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 4-5
SOURCES TELL US "He's not very dynamic as a runner so he needs to carve out a niche for himself as a physical backup who can go cover on kickoffs. He hasn't been a special teams guy but he better start." - AFC West regional scout
NFL COMPARISON Stepfan Taylor
BOTTOM LINE His NFL size and physical nature give him a shot to make the back-end of the running back depth chart, but his inability to create for himself with broken tackles and elusiveness puts a ceiling on his draft value.
-Lance Zierlein
Not impressed with this pick. I think there other players better at this spot then this guy. So, Whatever.
I was thinking more of a Marlon Mack who does have better feet, better athleticism to make you miss. Woodbuck mentioned Brian Hill out of Wyoming. I like him too, as he seemed to be a poor man's Joe Mixon with size and speed. Well, we have Jamaal Williams now. I hope he is a difference maker.
He will be a great change of pace to Jamaal Charles
Nice. He was my sleeper pick. Reminds a bit of James Starks. Not quite as athletic coming out.
smallish (smaller than monty by 20 lbs +-), seems tenacious. this pick pretty much confirms Rip is the banger.
Fucking horse shit
RB sucks
Ted shitting the bed today
It sure looks to me like TT blew it in this round.
He could have taken a far better RB at the top of this round ie Samaje Perine and likely secured LB Vince Biegel with his last pick in this round.
Ted Thompson P L E A S E retire.
I just read the blurb on him on NFL.com and apparently Jeremiah has compared him to Starks. I had not heard the comparison before I posted. That actually made me feel pretty good.
Just not very excited about the last 3 picks. Adams, Biegel, Williams... I hope they prove me wrong and end up being good players. Isn't the first and won't be the last time I disagree with whatever TT is doing so I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
