I just read an article that said McCarthy wants to run the pistol offense more this year. Marshall could do that way better than Rodgers, especially in the end zone. Besides, Marshall doesn't need to run the zone read to be effective. Guy has a strong arm...don't know what his Wonderlic is though. Heh Heh
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Anthony would be great. Not a fan of Darby for the Packers though. He's a finesse corner who's shy to tackle on a team that already has one of those (Shields and Tramon are more willing tacklers than Darby) in a division/conference where that can pose problems. (Detroit, Minnesota, Seattle, etc., etc.) I'd shudder to see Darby trying to get Peterson to the ground. You can maybe get away with one of those guys but two is a bit of a problem I think.
Marshall can tackle, if his performance in the Senior Bowl is any indication.

Man, I've watched tape of Darby and I just don't see the shyness to tackle. He seems very aggressive to me and doesn't hesitate to mix it up. Maybe I'm missing something.

My report is based on what I've seen from a full 10 minutes of "best of" youtube highlights and projecting his play at the NFL level so don't be so quick to second-guess yourself Maxie. I'm seeing a track guy who can get by at the college level on the football field but I'd be concerned will be overpowered at the NFL level, but that don't make me right.
I want a guy who can hang with the big dogs in the league like Calvin Johnson, Dez Bryant, Julio Jones, etc. - not another speed demon who those guys can push aside at the line or climb up over the top of if they need, and who's a liability coming up against the run at the NFL level. We already got one of those guys on the other side...
Is it too much to ask for an Al Harris or Richard Sherman kind of guy? Sherman lasted til the 5th round and Harris til the 6th... Those guys are legends but their physicality, length and cover capabilities can't be THAT rare can they?
sounds like your looking for the guy I just started doing a little research on:
Eric Rowe, Utah
Some think he's a safety, some say CB. The more I read, the more I like.
Yeah. I like Rowe too. Byron Jones and Rowe are the two corners I'd be happiest about landing early. I think they have high ceilings.
One of Kendricks, Anthony, Perryman to go along with Jones or Rowe and that'd be a pretty amazing start to a draft in my book.
CB and ILB Rankings at Green Bay's Likely Sweet Spots in the Draft (30 - 130) - CBSSports.com (as of March 30)
24 CB Johnson Wake Forest - that's a bit too high for him IMO
30 CB Peters Washington - uncoachable/character risk - Ted takes shots on these guys in the 7th not the first.
35 ILB Kendricks UCLA - His d-line kept him clean a lot but he's a bigger, faster, stronger version of Nick Barnett. He'd do just fine.
37 CB P.J. Williams Florida State - Has the physical traits you want but I'm not sure if he can play.
44 CB Quentin Rollins Miami (Ohio) - smallish, raw, unpolished is what I'm reading. Has only played CB for one year but tough, aggressive, hard worker...
45 ILB Bernardrick McKinney Texas A&M. I don't like him. He just doesn't seem to me to be an impact player.
47 ILB Anthony Clemson - He could be the guy Ted jumps on in the first too.
54 CB Collins LSU - One of the finest physical specimens at CB in the draft but raw and I'm not convinced he has enough athleticism to reach the potential his size and speed might suggest.
55 CB Jones Connecticut - He's moving up I'd say. Not sure he's gonna get to the 62 spot in the draft.
66 CB Darby Florida State - Speed to run with guys deep but I fear this guy is too much of a sprinter and not enough of a football player.
72 CB DJoun Smith Florida Atlantic - 5'10"
74 ILB Paul Dawson TCU - I like Perryman better than Dawson but they're similar players
76 CB Alex Carter Stanford - Good well-rounded prospect but not a lot to fall in love with
87 CB Josh Shaw USC - not good enough to overcome immature and stupid move jumping off balcony or the stupid, immature massive lie trying to cover-up said stupidity.
89 CB Doran Grant Ohio St. - 5'10"
93 ILB Perryman Miami - He's moving up too I'd say. No way he makes it to the end of the 3rd.
101 CB Steven Nelson Oregon St. - 5'10"
114 CB Ifo Ekpre-OlomuInjured - 5'9" not happening
118 CB Rowe Utah - I think he's a Day 1 starter and the team that drafts him may never look back.
128 ILB Heeney Kansas - smallish but fast and way underappreciated. I'd be very tempted to grab Heeney at the end of the 3rd even if they nabbed Kendricks or Anthony earlier. A ten-year contributor in the league whether its on Special Teams and special situations on D or every down on D.

I like Rowe too... he's a little stiff in the hips, so I don't know if he can play outside, but he's a big, physical DB with range. Would excel in the slot, zone coverage, and run support. He's definitely on my wish list.

Would be stunned if OL doesn't come up by the fifth.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Isn't it just about a lock for the 4th round?
(My list wasn't intended to be rounds of the draft, just order of need.)
Probably. But you never know how things will sort out.

How do you regard the tackling of Wake Forest's Kevin Johnson, vince?
I'm no film jockey but I'd say Johnson is far more willing to mix it up, and as he continues to mature he could add some size to his thin frame. I think he'd be a good pick though not sure how ready he'll be out of the shoot. Like Shields, he may need a year to ramp up. A year to mature and put some meat on his bones would do him a ton of good. Unlike a couple of the raw guys this year though, he looks pretty natural to me. He can turn and make a play on the ball like Shields too. Most of these guys I'd like a lot better on Day 2 than Day 1.
I really like Darren Waller for a playmaking TE. Guy is 6'6" 238 lbs and runs the 40 in 4.46.

Had some character issues, but might be worth a shot in the 4th round. About the same height and weight that Finley was when drafted. Looked pretty effortless when running that 4.6.
Isn't Darby a little on the small side?
Is anyone convinced about Palmer and Mulumba?
With Peppers for perhaps one more year (and no guarantee on that), isn't OLB a concern as much as DL?
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
I like Mulumba... has the physical tools and athletic ability. Just a matter of his instincts and understanding of the game.
Not sure about Palmer, haven't seen enough of him.

Lindsay Rhodes @lindsay_rhodes 7m7 minutes ago
Miami LB Denzel Perryman lowers combine 40 time from 4.78 to 4.68 but pulls hamstring on 2nd run. Pro Day over
This guy has packer written all OVER him. Especially the Packer's brand ace bandage on his thigh.
