    If the Packers draft someone named Ferguson, Bretsky will melt down and someone will be very confused about the PackerRat relationship between them and Turd Ferguson.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    My gut feeling is the Packers will trade down into the mid-20s or something. Somebody is gonna fall in love with one of the QBs.

    I don't think I've ever seen Edmunds, Vea or Davenport play, but I'm good with any of them in that order. Vea may not fit the ideal spot but getting a huge and powerful line will enable line backers to run free and make things happen.

    No, no! We waste 5th round picks on failed backups. We blow second round picks on guys we pick as insurance in case Rodgers doesn't pan out. First round picks are all used for golden HOF MVPs - especially the guys who drop to the end of the first round or drunks who Jerry Glanville hates.

    LOL.

    I did think about that. Favre was 35 when then then-new Packers GM Ted Thompson drafted Rodgers. Rodgers is 34.

    Think of the power the Packers have to change lives, just due to draft position. If Lamar Jackson falls to them in the 1st, he will be a HOF QB. If he falls to them the second round, he will be a bust (especially since he's from Louisville).

    Atlanta could also take him late and then trade him for a first to compete the incantation.

    Very different report on Davenport:

    http://draftanalyst.com/senior-bowl-south-team-page

    Tues: Primarily lined up at defensive end. Looked super quick and very athletic. Quick with his hands and explosive and flashed impressive lower-body power. Struggles once engaged in a block and was manhandled by Alex Cappa on one down.

    Wed: Another solid practice for Davenport. He is an imposing figure and can be tough to handle. Davenport plays with great balance and body control and is never off his feet. He held his ground against double-team blocks and besides the power, showed excellent speed.
    People making a big deal about him getting flattened on one running play. He's a guy with a lot of potential upside. Lot of evaluation left to be done.

    I’m going to the back yard to behead a chicken right now. If only I had a hecatome of cattle to sacrifice to the football Gods.

    The only thing that I keep coming back to is that if this guy was a sure thing and a guaranteed star, he'd go #1 in the draft with that size. He's going to be a project but I agree, lots of upside potential. Boom or bust pick, I wouldn't mind it I don't think. Worse case, he should be able to defend okay with that size alone.

    The Lamar Jackson Project

    1. Falls to Packers in the first or taken before Packers second round pick (need a trade then)
    2. Regarded as typical athletic college QB with big arm (add in some racially tinged anonymous scout commentary for chip on shoulder)
    3. Louisville's non track record of producing pro QBs
    4. Packer's don't need a starting QB, do need a few other things

    The only thing not going the Packer way here is Bridgewater. His relative success might mess up the draft/trade juju here.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Packers need pass rush. Plenty of cheap FAs to play the run (Quentin Dial, RJF, Lawrence Guy, Ahmad Brooks).

    his own words were most surprising.

    this quote from your post doesn't bode well:

    Tues: Primarily lined up at defensive end. Looked super quick and very athletic. Quick with his hands and explosive and flashed impressive lower-body power. Struggles once engaged in a block and was manhandled by Alex Cappa on one down.
    that's going to happen on every play where's he rushing...and this is against big-time college guys not pros. sounds like he's a project guy for some team who can afford to put low in a depth chart.

    give me a no-brainer even at a different position first.

    So, you have chickens, but no cattle? What kind of operation are you running?

    Just starting to look at guys...

    So far I like Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, LB, Oklahoma

    Would pass on Marcus Davenport, DE, UT-San Antonio... not quick enough.

    Jeff Holland, LB, Auburn... doesn't have any special traits. His get off is average - didn't see much of him dropping in coverage. Seems to be a one-speed player.

    Tremaine Edmunds, LB, VT... very intriguing player. Tall, rangy, takes good angles - can get caught looking in the backfield too much though. Could be a very versatile player. Want to see what he runs at the combine.
