    Joe Schobert is apparently a 3-4 ILB according to several anonymous scouts who got his numbers from the Shrine Circus. (6' 1 1/2", 247 and short arms)

    Bretsky will be along tomorrow to start the draft Joe the Show thread.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    What would you think if the Packers drafted Braxton Miller to be WR? He'd certainly be versatile, and might get overlooked because other WR's might get rated much higher. We are clearly a draft and develop team, and Miller is a special athlete, so with a little bit of development, I think he could be really good for this offense, and might have the suddenness to beat man coverage and then the ability in space to get YAC. His upside intrigues me. How about you guys? Would you be happy with him coming to Green Bay?

    He's been making big news at the Senior Bowl. CBS currently has him #80 overall, but he'll be moving up. Very interesting prospect.

    I'm sounding like president of his fan club; another impressive day for Braxton Miller. Torching DB's in red zone Crowd going crazy.

    Braxton Miller just hobbled off the field with a lower right leg injury. Seems like a calf cramp. Something had to slow him down.

    He would be an intriguing kid for sure but if he performs well in the Combine and on his pro day would he last until #27? WR might not be an immediate need but Braxton would add speed to our offense in spades.

    I think if you can get Kevin Hogan in the 7th round you take him. The Packers at this point need to keep developing young QBs not necessarily to replace Rodgers, but to secure the position in the future.

    Yup, they need to have a steady parade of developmental types, because AR could miss more time as he ages, and the end for him could be sudden. They don't necessarily have to have a permanent replacement ready to go, but they need a guy they can get by with for few years, anyway.

    We would like to think the AR we have known will be around another 5-8 years or so; but, truth be told, that AR was not here in 2015. Perhaps he has already slipped into the end phase of his career, perhaps he just had an off year. Time will tell.

    Not this year, I suspect. 1) doubtful Hogan makes it to the seventh 2) Packers have Tolzien and Hundley - this is the year Hundley passes Tolzien so that next year might be the year they draft a later round QB, to develop for a backup when Hundley takes over for Rodgers (unless they just see Tolzien staying in that role behind Hundley). If Hundley doesn't progress, then next year will likely see a serious high pick taken on a QB.

    Every time I hear Kevin Hogan's name, I can't help but think about Col. Klink saying his drawn out "Colonel Hogaaaaan!"

    I'm not sure how much TT and the scouting guys would value him. In the past, we have skipped over "ATHLETE" classification guys in favor of "FOOTBALL PLAYERS" from a receiver standpoint. I'd be excited, sure. He can make plays, even if he might never become a true wide receiver.

    Braxton Miller is a tremendous athlete. It will be interesting to see if his numbers go off the charts at the combine. (I can't see how he can avoid the combine). He has to find a way to catch as many passes as possible in the show-off-season (combine, senior bowl, pro days) to increases his value. His goal is to match Ted Ginn Jr.'s time of 4.28

    Forgot this guy existed. Caught everything thrown his way in 2015, with 2 TDs.

    All he does is score touchdowns

    I always thought he had the best name for a TE in football.
    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.

    Just did a FanSpeak 7 Round Draft
    1. Reggie Ragland, ILB Ala
    2. Jason Spriggs, OT Ind
    3. Hunter Henry, TE Ark
    4. Sterling SHepard, WR Okla
    5. Hassan Ridgeway, DT Tex
    6. Devon Johnson, RB Marshall
    7. Curt Maggitt, OLB Tenn

    Surprised that Ragland dropped to me in the first.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    I'm more surprised that Hunter Henry dropped to you in the 3rd.

    27: R1P27
    DT SHELDON RANKINS
    LOUISVILLE

    57: R2P26
    TE HUNTER HENRY
    ARKANSAS

    : R3P25
    RB KENYAN DRAKE
    ALABAMA

    122: R4P27
    OT JOE DAHL
    WASHINGTON STATE

    151: R5P24
    DT D.J. READER
    CLEMSON

    182: R6P25
    OLB JOE SCHOBERT
    WISCONSIN

    216: R7P27
    S KEVIN BYARD
    MIDDLE TENNESSEE

    This was a pretty interesting draft on FanSpeak. I think I went after players that offered some flexibility at their positions. I think Dahl could play all over the line, Rankins could play any spot on the defensive line, and there was some good value with Reader and Schobert.

    That website is awesome. Their ratings are not kind to Schobert.

    As for Byron Marshall, I would doubt he gets drafted. He's slow. Can't separate.

    Marshall's versatility makes him interesting. He's had both 1000 yard rushing and receiving seasons. I agree though he probably won't be drafted. Someone will give him a chance though if he's healthy.

  20. #20
    Yeah he'll definitely be signed. If he has the right personality, you can't begrudge a team using a 7th to secure his rights.

    1 OT Taylor Decker, Ohio State
    2 TE Hunter Henry, Arkansas
    3 WR Tyler Boyd, Pittsburgh
    4 DE Sheldon Day, Notre Dame
    4 LB Joe Schobert, Wisconsin
    4 RB Kelvin Taylor, Florida
    5 DE Adam Gotsis, Georgia Tech
    6 G Jordan Walsh, Iowa
    7 G Joe Dahl, Washington State

    Newer draft using the updated CBS draft board.
