What need do you think Perry can fill other than another body for the roster? I've read so many comments like "very stiff", "struggles to change directions" "straight ahead player only" that it doesn't seem he would be more, and might be a lot less than either Ryan or Barrington. What do you think?
I've not felt TE was much of a need after they signed Cook. Some seemed concerned that Cook is on a one year deal, but I'm not any more concerned than I am that Lacy, Bakhtiari, Sitton, Lang and Tretter are also on one year deals. I might even be less concerned with Cook, because I think he will stay if things go well. He openly talked about being disappointed in his personal accomplishments so far in his career. I think he will stay for a decent offer, and won't shop himself as much as some might.
What Patler said to you draftniks, it's a ton of work and is appreciated.
My guess is Ted picks a WR, an OG and a CB or another OLB.
This is as good a time as any for a Tyler Higbee update. This is direct from one of KYPack's secret Kentucky operatives. Sat nite in Bowling Green KY, Higbee and his GF were drinkin' in a BG bar. A drunken acting (although it was later found the guy HADN'T been drinkin') Middle Eastern lookin' dude started seriously hassling Higbee's chick. Higbee got all crazy on the guy, almost punched him and went generally nuts. Higbee and the GF went to another bar. There's only a handful of places you can rock and roll at in Bowling Green KY. The hassle guy appeared at that bar and began his act all over again. He kept bothering the GF and physically grabbed her. This time, Higbee threw the punch and laid the guy out. He was cold cocked and had both external bleeding to the face and internal bleeding in his addled brain. Higbee was spotted by both security& cops and he ran away. The cops chased him and caught his ass. And they laid on the charges. Drunk, real drunk, eluding the cops, lying to the cops, assault, assault and pepper, the whole bit. The "victim" is half way OK and got his etiquette lesson. Higbee screwed up his draft status and lost a good bit in this.
The big problem is that the incident happened where it did. If something like this happened in Pittsburgh to Gronk the week before his draft, you never would have heard a word. In Higbee's incident, he looks like Charlie Manson thx to the KY cops.
The big thing I learned is Higbee failed to elude the cops because he is recovering from a knee surgery he had in December. Never heard about that before.
WTH? lol.
C.H.U.D.
Browns trade back, they're gonna have a million picks....Raiders move way up for a QB????
I know, it's strange, but true, Freak.Originally Posted by Freak Out
IDK if they should bring Higbee in, he's a solid player, but all this shit & a Knee? Might be too much.
Take a flyer? Is he a playmaker?

I liked Perry's tape. His coverage skills aren't top notch, but he tested well athletically. Better than Ragland (and 3 inches and 7 pounds heavier). Actually, better than anybody not named Darron Lee, Deion Jones, or Nick Vigil at ILB (and he's much bigger than those guys). Testing wise he was tied the 4th best overall athlete at ILB (had the same SPARq score as Fackrell, in fact). I think, if nothing else, you get an upgrade on Barrington (or protection for Barrington) as a 2-down ILB. With Perry you get a great 2-down ILB prospect who has an outside chance to be better than people think on third downs. Now, I like Ryan more than most here it seems. I think he'll be a long-time starter for the Pack.

Shoot, he's gone--along with Schobert. Good fit for the Chargers and their 3-4 scheme. I think I would have taken Perry over Fackrell. If the Packers think Fackrell can play nickel/dime LB, then the Fackrell pick makes more sense to me.
Eric Murray also gone.

Agreed, and I'm rooting for former NDSU Bison Gus Bradley. The only pick that I didn't like was Yannick Ngakoue. I thought it was a little early for him.

Dang it. Higbee gone. Gotta go for a moment. Good pick for Goff. Got a little Travis Kelce or maybe Jared Cook to him. Very athletic.

Dang, Ryan Smith was one of my favorites.
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.
