I don't think he watched enough Packer games. The last thing the Packers need is a guy tailor made for the slot.

14. Green Bay Packers: Denzel Ward, Cornerback, Ohio State
The Packers ranked dead last in the NFL at stopping opponents' No. 1 receivers and 26th at stopping their No. 2 receivers, according to Football Outsiders. Injuries at cornerback were a huge part of the problem, but projected starters Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins have never been consistent, Davon House is about to enter free agency and the bottom of the depth chart is full of names like Lenzy Pipkins.
Denzel Ward is a mighty-mite type: undersized at 5'10", 191 pounds, but with the physicality of an enforcer on the edge of the defense. Drop him in the slot, and he'll throw his body around against the run while demonstrating range and alertness as an underneath defender. Move him outside and he can grow into a shutdown corner, albeit one who will have to be moved around to avoid size mismatches against Julio Jones types.
This is a safe, down-the-middle choice by the standards of the Packers, who often listened to the music of the spheres when Ted Thompson ran the draft. Look for new GM Brian Gutekunst to be a little more conventional as the Packers try to rebound from a season that exposed their reliance on Aaron Rodgers.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Most of what is wrong on defense was due to Dom Capers and the outgoing coaching staff... it's tough to tell what we really have in terms of talent b/c of how misused everyone was.
That said, we do know some things...
Ryan is maxed out as a backup/ST's guy - has no business in an NFL starting lineup.
Martinez is average, probably needs to be replaced. Maybe some coaching can help him - he's better than Ryan, and occasionally shows some ability, but overall he's not shown he should be a starter in the league.
Randall is a one-trick pony, can't tackle, takes bad angles, and just isn't a very good football player. Needs to be replaced.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Tackling overall has always been an issue since Capers has been there, and some of that has to do with the skirt-wearing style of players the Packers have preferred in the past. Hopefully with a new staff coming in, we'll see some fundamental changes in approach and attitude.
------------------------------------------------------------------
As for players in this draft - I don't want Davenport at all. I just don't see him having enough quickness or any other outstanding quality that puts him in the 1st round. To me, from the little tape that I've watched, he looks like a low-round, undrafted FA type.
Been hearing some buzz too about Darius Leonard, LB, South Carolina State... but I didn't like what I saw of him either.
Front seven guys I've looked at that I've like so far are...
Leighton Vander Esch, LB, Boise State
Arden Key, LB/Edge, LSU
Roquan Smith, LB, Georgia
Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virgina Tech
Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, LB, Oklahoma
Harold Landry, LB/Edge, Boston College

I agree that Ryan is nothing special. Martinez is above average now.
I would have to disagree on Randall. He may have had his issues, but he has the most potential of any of our CB's right now. Does he achieve it? I guess we'll find out.
LOL, wist lists 6 top 45 players as the guys he likes. Well no shit sherlock :-p
This is a really deep ILB class. Lots of good players here. I have to imagine the Packers pick two ILBs in the first 5 rounds or so simply because the talent is too good. Pass rushers are going to be tough to come by I think though. My gut feeling is if Edmunds is there, you can't pass him up. He's like Peppers with the size and speed. It's just rare. I doubt he will be, though. He's not a pass rusher so he won't go #1, but he will be top 5 I think. Some of the beat writers like Landry, they say he has great bend.
I wouldn't mind any of those peeps except for Key. Seems to be a head case. Roquan Smith is an absolute animal.
wist has never seen a field hockey game.
At least watch Meatballs wist. Those girls are brutal.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

is he this years great white hype?Originally Posted by Joemailman
You mean like Urlacher?
There are now 4 potential ILB's who could be possible picks for the Packers: Roquan Smith, Tremaine Edmunds, Rashaan Evans and Vander Esch. Unusual depth for that position.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...ual-qb-rivalryDRAFT RISER ALERT. Texas Tech's Nic Shimonek(QB) was the surprise star of the drills. His dropback and delivery are smooth and quick, and his anticipation and accuracy were consistently strong. The 6'3" Shimonek has the size and athleticism to play at the NFL level. Don't rank him among the top five just yet, but Shimonek should be on the middle-round watch list for teams seeking long-term prospects. (Hello, Patriots.)

According to teams, Leighton Vander Esch has been crushing interviews and continues to impress people. After weighing in at 256 pounds and completing 20 reps on the bench, the Boise State linebacker is hoping to run under 4.7 in the 40-yard dash. Truth be told, anything at or below 4.75 would be a great time. I’ve been told the Green Bay Packers are very high on Vander Esch and that he won’t get past the Pittsburgh Steelers in Round 1.

So, is #14 to high to draft a guy with only one hand?
Cause shaquem griffin just ran a 4.38
And I the bowl game I watched of him, the guy flat out dominated
wrong thread

Everybody seems to have him rated a Day 3 pick. A great 40 time won't change that.
HOFer
i have a feeling his stock is gonna go up
he's one of those guys that impresses at the combine and makes people go look at his tape. and the tape is impressive, guy is everywhere on the field
like i said, one or two hands, the guy can flat out play
If he's going to play 3-4 OLB, I guess the biggest question would be whether he can fight off NFL offensive tackles with one hand. On the bright side, he would be 50% less likely to get flagged for illegal use of the hands.
HOFer
coutland sutton a 6'4 wr out of SMU might be someone we should be looking at, he had a really good combine
