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?

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

I would love Braxton Miller. I don't think the Packers take a WR in R1 this year but if Miller was there he'd be a great candidate with his speed and versatility. He is a more athletic and bigger Randall Cobb.
Frankly, OSU is so stacked I wouldn't mind seeing several of their players picked. Then again, maybe the studs are making everyone else look better.
I am eyeing up Leonard Floyd in round 1. I haven't seen much of him but his measureables look quite good and some circles seem to think he's a top 10 type player. He looks fast and athletic in his highlights.
Nick Vannett had a nice game with 3 catches for 58 yards. Aaron Green had a 25 yard run for a TD. I saw Le'Raven Clark get beat once. Not sure how he did overall. The O-Linemen in this game were up against a very good group of D-Linemen.
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.
