I really like Floyd - but I've only seen highlights. He looks super athletic to me.

I think Floyd is the kind of guy that you're drafting for 2 years down the line... he's rail thin. Give him a couple of years to mature and get in an NFL training program and he has the potential to be a guy like Javon Kearse.Originally Posted by call_me_ishmael
He has length, long arms, and can bend the corner... he's got upside. Don't think he's the athlete Kearse was, but I think he can be a player. Might take a year or two though.

Well the theoretical draft is going south on us:
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
Someone may be laying in ambush, but unless Dallas trades back into first round, hard to find a landing spot for QB Paxton Lynch in round 1.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Just wait. Lynch or Cook will be sitting there at #27 and Denver will get antsy and trade up with Green Bay to get one of them. Green Bay ends up at the end of the first and gets another third to pick up another offensive tackle.

That's kinda funny woodie, because all of Twitter (mainly Schefter and RapSheet) are now saying he is falling today.
Might be a lie, or draftniks might have overestimated how much teams liked him, so they reported him "rocketing up draft boards" a bit too strongly.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
PBmax: do you see any influence of Twitter on the draft? If so, what?

Some players we have been looking at...
Green Bay — Scouts haven't been flocking to Dover, Del., this draft season to get a look at Wesley College's senior class, but those who have been thorough enough to watch tape of the Wolverines have spotted a potential sleeper.
His name is Joe Callahan, a record-setting quarterback who was awarded Division III's version of the Heisman Trophy after throwing for 5,068 yards and 55 touchdowns last season.
The 6-foot-1, 216-pound Callahan has drawn the attention of the Green Bay Packers, who have been in contact with him regularly and appear very interested in signing him if he isn't drafted. Regional scout Mike Owens did the groundwork and director of player personnel Brian Gutekunst has been following up with phone calls.
PRE-DRAFT VISITS
The following are draft-eligible players who made visits to the Packers, according to league sources and published reports. Unless indicated, players are late-round or free-agent candidates.
WR Moritz Boehringer, Germany (6-4, 227): 40-yard dash: 4.43 seconds. Vertical jump: 39 inches. Broad jump: 10 feet, 11 inches. Bench: 17 reps. After training at XPE Sports Academy in Boca Raton was invited to Florida Atlantic's pro day, where he lit up the place. Almost same height, weight, speed as Jeff Janis. Has played just four years of football, starting on a youth team in Germany in 2013 and getting promoted to the premier league in 2015. Caught 70 passes for 1,461 yards and 16 TDs against what could be considered Division III talent.
OLB Christian French, Oregon (6-5, 249): 40: 4.75. Vertical: 33. Broad: 9-10. Bench: Not available. Played in eight games and had 29 tackles, including five for loss and two sacks. Started first eight games but missed last five with a torn pectoral muscle and was not able to lift at Oregon's pro day. Would have ranked 12th out of 22 OLBs at the combine with his 40 time.
S Kevin Byard, Middle Tennessee State (5-11, 212): 40: 4.46. Vertical: 38. Broad: 9-10. Bench: 22. Decent-sized safety who set school record with 19 interceptions and had 19 pass breakups during his final two seasons. Played back and will have to prove he's physical enough to play in the box. Smart and a leader in the secondary. His three-cone time of 6.73 seconds would have been third-best among safeties at the combine.
DT Alex Balducci, Oregon (6-4, 309): 40: 5.01. Vertical: 33. Broad: 9-5. Bench: 25. Big-bodied interior lineman who has the size teams are looking for, but isn't a great athlete. Had single-season highs of 40 tackles and six tackles for loss in '15. In four seasons he had 77 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, two quarterback hits, four fumble recoveries and one pass defensed.
CB Makinton Dorleant, Northern Iowa (5-101/2, 177): 40: 4.40. Vertical: 39. Broad: 10-3. Bench: 16. Started out at Maryland and transferred after one year. Three-year starter who finished senior season with 54 tackles, one interception and four pass breakups. Played outside almost exclusively, but projected as a nickel back, which he played at the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.
C/G Kyle Steuck, Northern Michigan (6-3, 217): 40: 5.25. Vertical: 30. Broad: 9-1. Bench: NA. West De Pere High School standout and starter on the team's 2010 state championship team. Four-year starter in college, playing all five positions on the offensive line, including 18 at center. Worked out with former Packers C Evan Dietrich-Smith at House of Speed in 2015.
WR Mitch Mathews, BYU (6-51/2, 222): 40: 4.49. Vertical: 36. Broad: 10-0. Bench: 12. 26 years old. Spent three years on a Mormon mission. Caught 54 passes for 737 yards and 11 TDs as a senior. Has tight end height and wing span but not the body. Building strength a priority. Ran much better than expected at pro day.
OT Josh James, Carroll College (Mont.) (6-6, 315): 40: NA. Vertical: 30. Broad: NA. Bench: 26. Was a mainstay at left tackle, starting 44 games over four seasons. Named AFCA NAIA All-America first team. Worked out at Montana's pro day and impressed Packers scouts with his strength and athletic ability. Was invited for a visit right after.
OL Alex Lewis, Nebraska (6-6, 310): 40: 5.2. Vertical: 29.5. Broad: 8-3. Bench: 27. Started out at Colorado as tight end and tackle, then played left guard as a sophomore. Like David Bakhtiari before him, tired of losing all the time. Was arrested for felony assault and wound up pleading to a misdemeanor. Transferred to Nebraska. Sat out '13. Started at left tackle final two years. Needs to develop into lineman's body. Mid- to late-round pick.
DE/OLB Roy Robertson-Harris, Texas-El Paso (6-5, 256): 40: 4.84. Vertical: 35. Broad: 9-11. Bench: 23. Started all 12 games as a senior and was team captain. Had 7.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and four pass breakups. Long arms and big body are attracting scouts, but his production has not always matched his physical ability. Could play end in a 4-3. Cousin is former NFL guard Carl Nicks.
OL Wes Schweitzer, San Jose State (6-4, 300): 40: 5.15. Vertical: 27.5. Broad: 9-10. Bench: 28. Started 36 consecutive games, mostly at left tackle, over a three-season span. A three-time academic all-conference award winner.
RB Dwayne Washington, Washington (6-1, 223): 40: 4.48. Vertical: 37.5. Broad: 10-7. Bench: 21. Entered draft as a junior. Former wide receiver with home run speed. A long-strider who is still transitioning into a running back. Could be a dangerous third-down back. Had some fumble problems. Lost his starting job last year and rushed for 282 yards on 47 carries with four touchdowns.
DL David Onyemata, University of Manitoba (6-3, 304): 40: 5.07. Vertical: 33. Broad: 9-11. Bench: 33. Born in Lagos, Nigeria. Has played only four years of football and will need grooming. Tremendously strong with an 82-inch wingspan and 103/8-inch hands. Held a pro day in Manitoba and 17 scouts showed up, including the Packers. Had a tackle for loss and sack in the East-West Shrine Game. Could be selected on the second day of draft.
WR Bryce Treggs, California (5-11 ½, 190): 40: 4.39. Vertical: 34. Broad: 10-2. Bench: 16. Speed burner who averaged 19.8 yards per reception playing with QB Jared Goff in 2015. Started five games and had a team-high 813 yards receiving on 41 catches with six touchdowns as a senior. Has some kick return experience. Had one catch in NFLPA Collegiate Bowl. Father Brian played at Cal and for Seattle Seahawks.
OL Ted Karras, Illinois (6-4, 307): 40: 5.34. Vertical: 26.5. Broad: 8-10. Bench: 32. Great uncle is NFL great Alex Karras. Four-year starter at right guard. Suffered ACL tear at end of junior year but played all 12 games the following year. Not a great athlete but tremendously strong and extremely intense.
CB Kalan Reed, Southern Mississippi (5-11, 192): 40: 4.49. Vertical: 41.5. Broad: 10-2. Bench: 11. Great athleticism but lacks strength. Started since sophomore year. Had 56 tackles and 19 pass breakups as senior. Probably will be limited to being a slot corner until he builds body up. Needs time to develop.
S Peni Vea, UNLV (6-1, 206): 40: 4.46. Vertical: 39. Broad: 9-11. Bench: 19. Only two scouts showed up at his pro day. His 40 time would have ranked tied for third among safeties at combine. Team won only three games. Had four interceptions in four seasons. Had 80 tackles and four pass breakups.
OL Blake Muir, Baylor (6-5, 315): 40: NA. Vertical: 32. Broad: 9-8. Bench: 28. First-team all-Big 12 last year, two-time all-academic team. Started 12 games at left tackle for Hawaii and then transferred. Started all but one game at Baylor. Born in Australia and has background in Australian Rules Football.
FB Joe Kerridge, Michigan (6-0, 245): 40: 4.89. Vertical: 34.5. Broad: 9-9. Bench: 24. Walked on in Ann Arbor. Team captain as a senior. Fits as a power fullback and special teams player. Roomed with Packers linebacker Jake Ryan in 2014.
DE Noah Spence, Eastern Kentucky (6-2 ½, 251): 40: 4.80. Vertical: 35. Broad: 10-1. Bench: 25. Started out at Ohio State, starting 13 games at end his second season. Tested positive twice for Ecstasy and was banned by the Big Ten. Went into drug treatment and then transferred to EKU. Was the FCS defensive player of the year in '15. Could be taken in first round.
WR Devin Fuller, UCLA (6-0, 194 pounds): 40: 4.39. Vertical: 36. Broad: 10-4. Bench: NA. Caught 24 passes for 259 yards and 3 TDs. Biggest impact was as a returner. Averaged 24.2 yards on 17 kickoffs and 11.8 on 12 punt returns. Played three seasons with Packers QB Brett Hundley.
DE Bronson Kaufusi, BYU (6-6 ½, 285): 40: 4.87. Vertical: 30. Broad: 9-3; Bench: 25. Served a two-year mission and returned to the field in '12. Moved to outside linebacker in '14 and then back to end in '15. Has great quickness around the corner and decent strength. Had 26 ½ sacks in four seasons. Not a lot of lower-body strength. Will be 25 this year.
OL Le'Raven Clark, Texas Tech (6-5, 316): 40: 5.16. Vertical: 30. Broad: 9-1. Bench: 20. Long arms, huge hands and experience playing guard and tackle. A developmental player because of some strength issues, but has starter potential. Good in the run game but needs work on pass-blocking techniques. Could go high in second round.
I'll bet Ted's scouring the Twitter wires right now trying to figure out who he should take based on what all the, "experts" say. I read a tweet that says a lot of the Packer's draft board is predicated on the opinions of the Twitter geniuses. Lol...

These three are intriguing players with a very high upside.
Joe Callahan is UDFA probably.
Obviously, TT will have to draft the other two.
Onyemata is a project, but has great potential. Maybe TT is interested only if he's undrafted.
Lance Zierlein, on the one hand, says Clark "has a Pro Bowl upside with the floor of an average NFL starter." On the other hand, Zierlein has labelled Clark a boom-or-bust player. Intriguing.
I watched Clark in the Senior Bowl and was unimpressed. He couldn't block the edge rushers to save his life. But then maybe I don't see what scouts see.
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.
