TT and Packers @ Pick NO. 121 >>>

Carl Bradford - OLB - (6'1" 250) Fr. Arizona State and a Grade of 5.3

They like this TT pick.

Since Raji is on a one year deal, how about someone like this: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2014/profil...ers?id=2543554 Projected in rounds 5-6

looks to be our ILB

Carl Bradford*, OLB/ILB, Arizona State
Height: 6-1. Weight: 243.
40 Time: 4.76.
Projected Round (2014): 2-4.
5/5/14: Bradford played really well in 2013. He has a unique skill set with toughness as a run-defender and pass-rushing ability.

Bradford was impressive against Notre Dame with a lot of disruption. He was superb against Washington State with forced fumbles and a sack. The junior was suspended against Oregon State. Bradford had 61 tackles with 19 tackles for a loss, 8.5 sacks, four passes broken up, one interception and three forced fumbles in 2013. He could be a nice weapon in a 3-4 defense who plays on the inside and outside. Bradford would fit best as a Sam (strongside) linebacker in a 4-3, but he could also be trained on the inside.

9/5/13: Bradford broke out last year with 81 tackles, 11.5 sacks, 20.5 tackles for a loss, five passes defended, three forced fumbles and one interception. The sophomore started strong and was on fire to close out the season. He had sacks in the final six games with a total of seven sacks in that stretch. With Will Sutton causing havoc on the inside, Bradford could have another big season as a junior in 2013.

live grades from walterfootball.com

Green Bay Packers: Carl Bradford, ILB, Arizona State: A+ Grade
Another steal, and it's not a surprise that the perennial winners are making them. Carl Bradford could have easily been chosen in the second round, and I'm not sure why he fell this far. Bradford can play either outside or inside linebacker in the 3-4, though he'll probably be stationed at the latter position in Green Bay, given what the team has on its roster. He fills a big need inside.

Wow love this pick, I was reading an article before the draft about the Packers looking at this kid and they were talking about taking him on day 2.

[pittstang5]

Gotta be ILB... at least I hope.

Like this pick, great value. 2nd to 3rd round grade. Really like this pick.

He will play ILB for sure at his size.

Pick Analysis:

"I don't think he's long enough to be an edge pass-rush guy in the NFL. There is lots of hustle and he has a great motor. This kid went to the NFL Scouting Combine and showed athleticism. But what's his best position? I think inside linebacker in a 3-4 defense. Green Bay just took him and that's where I see him." -- Mike Mayock

Comment woodbuck27:

Mike Mayock went on to say that this prospect is only one of three in the draft that might edge rush on a situational basis like Michael Sam; but if the Packers use him a an ILB he hopefully develops into an every down player....See his way better than average athleticism.

This is an exciting pick.

That means of the five so far three look really good to me FS; WR and this player that projects to ILB. One is very hopeful at DT; and well ....there's the TE prospect named Mr. Rodgers. This is a frown and that pick.

TT is certainly covering the bases in terms of need.

Now TT goes Defensive Back... CB or SS or Guard... @ Pick NO. 161 and at the end of Round 5 >>> Pick NO. 176.

I hope he's lined up a kick return guy.

Sitting on the patio on a sunny (and windy) afternoon half paying attention to the draft, watching the kids work and drinking a beer. News Flash Goodell: this is what the draft is supposed to be!

They should convert Tornado warning sirens to carry short voice messages and announce picks that way. Everyone then knows.

This draft has been all needs to far (maybe not the DT) and that makes me nervous.

Not me I love every pick so far, its a deep draft so why not go after need? Our first two picks were no brainers... HaHa and Adams were the best two players left at their positions imo. Our 3rd round picks no one knew about and thats because they both played on shitty teams. After reading up on both picks they make a lot of sense and the fact a TE was taken right after Rodgers who knows if he would have lasted until the 4th. Seems like we got a steal in the 4th also with Carl Bradford if he can make the switch to ILB. Again I love the fact that we have filled all our needs....we didn't go after a safety last season and look how that turned out.

Not saying they have left value on board (according to their values) for need. Just saying this draft so far has tracked very closely to team needs. That is unusual outside of 2011 and perhaps Jones last year.

[Rastak]

Was also hoping they'd double dip at QB and grab Savage but not sure that would have made sense.

[wist43]

Okay with the pick if he's inside...
