I wish we could know what calls Ted fielded about trading back - as I said elsewhere, I'm guessing the Broncos and/or Cowboys called GB about trading up to get Lynch. Probably one or both teams realized there was a bidding war, so they had to move up higher to get Lynch, leaving GB behind.
I guess we'll find out how good Clark is compared to all the guys Ted didn't pick instead, especially the defensive linemen. We'll see. And if Wist will list the 5-6 guys he likes better, we can see how that plays out in three or four years, too.

Very nice writeup that covers about everything I have seen of Clark:
http://cheeseheadtv.com/blog/nfl-dra...-clark-dl-ucla
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
We'll have a better idea what Ted was thinking when we see him in camp getting reps. McGinn and every other Packer blogger had Clark as the need pick (or someone was leaking). And they ALL see him taking Raji's spot at NT.
From that perspective, you can see the Packers having him as their highest ranked at a position of need.
Nutz and some other write ups see him as more versatile, though he is not as tall as most 5 techs. If he gets reps all over the line, might mean the plan for Raji's replacement isn't set in stone and they just needed a body.
If that's the case, then you have to think they just liked him more than any other interior lineman.

I read one article that I can't find right now that said if you watch enough tape on Myles Jack, you come away with a strong appreciation for what Clark did to free him up.
In the game films you see him being double teamed constantly.
In terms of grading...how did DT Kenny Clark stack up?

It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out. I thought the plan was for guion to play the nose. I thought the consensus was he played nt much better in 2014 than he did end in 15. Mcginns article, as well as Clark being the top nt, indicate otherwise.

Tanner not impressed.
Boy, it sure has been one whirlwind of an offseason for the Green Bay Packers, hasn’t it? They haven’t been this busy in years. They signed tight end Jared Cook in free agency! And...someone named Lerentee McCray at linebacker! And...they also re-signed James Starks, Nick Perry and Don Barclay to provide extra anxiety for Aaron Rodgers! Re-signings are transactions, too!
Phew. What tumult. Can you stand the excitement, Packers fans? General manager Ted Thompson may need to sleep this one off for the next three or four free-agency periods.
Thompson stayed awake long enough to dip into this year's deep defensive tackle class, which means it's time for another installment of Big Uglies: A 2016 Field Guide. Don’t try to tell one monstrous interior lineman from another without it!
Here's Kenny Clark's profile:
Size: 6'3", 314 pounds
Athleticism: Former high school wrestler
Honors: All-Pac-12
Numbers: 47 tackles and six sacks last year—a lot of production for a defensive tackle
Defining Special Trait: High football IQ; Clark wins by reading blocks and diagnosing plays
Potential Flaws: Lacks top-notch physical traits
Also Worth Mentioning: Clark plans to coach after his college career
Clark is a film junkie who anticipates the snap count, diagnoses blocking schemes and out-thinks his blockers. Those skills don’t translate as well to the NFL as you might expect: Pro blockers are less predictable and more likely to grind a lot of film themselves than guys in the Pac-12. Still, Clark should excel at the smaller tasks of defensive line play: sniffing out screens, cleaning up sacks after the quarterback is flushed from the pocket, and so on.
You can tell why the Packers like Clark: He's like a giant Ted Thompson. That said, there are many other defensive tackles on the board with higher upside than Clark.
Grade: C+

Anyone feeling unenthused about the pick who'd like some Kenny Clark boner-fuel:
Sumbitch gets 11 tackles out of the NT position in this game! Several times you see him put his dude on skates and take him straight backwards. Good example of this at 1:10:25 where he gets a sack.

Here is a video focusing on just Clark of that same game:

Another 50 lbs. and he'd be Gilbert Brown.
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.
