The potential upside is huge. Dude could be a monster at ILB, maybe even outside a bit too. But that's not where the team was hurting the most. This was a need draft. Not only do the Packers need corners but they are going to need them to start. That Edmunds kid is a lot more raw than the Packer CBs.Originally Posted by Bretsky

I really like N Nelson form the Mighty Badgers
CB's were so deep this year they were there in round 4 and 5
Elite talent LB'ers were not.
Edmunds is a high risk/high reward guy though. He's only 19.
I worry we had a chance to get an elite person on defense...and we never get that shot because we never draft this high
Hope we made the right call.
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

I don't necessarily think the draft was that deep at CB this year. There were 4 CBs that I felt really good about (Ward, Alexander, Oliver, Josh Jackson). There were a few others that I liked (Dawson, Hughes, Donte Jackson). A couple of boom or bust prospects (Averett, Davis). After that, it wasn't overly impressive. There were some with good sleeper potential (Nelson, Hill, Maddox).

Why not draft a guy like Hill in the 7th, and assume he gets suspended at least you own his rights if he ever grows up.
I'd rather do that than take a long snapper.

With the issues we've had since Goode started getting hurt, LS was a need. I'd like to not go through the LS carousel anymore. Hopefully, this guy delivers. I have no idea why this guy over Carew, but I won't pretend to be a LS guru.

Exactly. They got the guy they think is the best prospect from this year's draft class.
Right now, the only LS on the roster is Zack Triner, who also has no NFL experience and has been out of college a couple years.
I expect Goode is their fallback guy again, but they have been trying to find a replacement for him since last year. I think they tried four different one last year, two during the season when Goode was out, but apparently they didn't like any of them well enough to sign them this year.
Right now, LS is a big question mark on this team.
