DAY THREE: OFFFICIAL DRAFT DAY THREAD FOR DA CHAMPS..GB PACKERS

[swede]

Big John Clay is still out there.

You mean he's STILL running his 40?

[gbgary]

I hope he sounds like Elmore James.


you got that right!!

[swede]

The Rams selected Mikhail Baker and he didn't have a position or a football grade listed on ESPN. Do they plan on using him on the dance team?

[pbmax]

Another TE. Special Teams have no excuses this year.

Packers (From Jaguars through Dolphins) Taylor, Ryan TE -- -- North Carolina

[gbgary]

Taylor, Ryan...we got that tightend we've been needing

[Carolina_Packer]

Another TE? Man, it would have been nice to roll the dice on Noel Devine!

[pbmax]

The Rams selected Mikhail Baker and he didn't have a position or a football grade listed on ESPN. Do they plan on using him on the dance team?

NFL.com has him as a DB. So, maybe (would be a definite yes if he was a WR)?

[RashanGary]

Sherrod, Cobb and Green are exciting.
House and Williams have a decent shot

The rest is a pile of poo that you throw against the wall and hope some sticks.

[digitaldean]

Another TE?! Wow.

Hoping Packers would draft Herzlich , OLB out of BC. I know the titanium rod in his leg and the cancer thing are huge red flags. But this kid can play.

[swede]

TT: Damn! The best player available is another tight end!

[Packgator]

TT: Damn! The best player available is another tight end!

Played offense, defense, and special teams at NC

[RashanGary]

Is Ted ramping up in case Finley blows up?

[swede]

Played offense, defense, and special teams at NC

And...he's a tight end.

You have to wonder if TT and MM are cooking up a five tight-end formation.

[Packgator]

Wonder what the all-time NFL record is for most TE's on a roster?

[Lurker64]

Another TE?! Wow.

He was announced as a fullback, so presumably he will not be a TE in Green Bay.

Entirely possible that next year:
TE: Finley, Quarless, Williams, Crabtree
FB: Quinn, Ryan
RB: Grant, Starks, Green.

That's one less TE/RB/FB than we carried last year.

[Scott Campbell]

And...he's a tight end.

That would definitely create some interesting matchups.

[Scott Campbell]

Ted has obviously given up every possible pretense of pandering to the fan base.

That doesn't look too bad. And having an H back will be great as ARod tries to survive the Detroit Lion's D-line.

[BobDobbs]

It's another reach for need. Ted is desperatley trying to replace Havner at the Frankenbacker position. We're thin there.

Nobody with long, blonde hair!!! :x

[BobDobbs]

Espn has Taylor credited with 37 tackles and 36 receptions for his college career.

[Lurker64]

I think you have nailed it exactly. From the JSO blog post:


Played reserve linebacker his first two seasons, earning special teams captain honors his junior season.Missed all of 2009 with a knee injury, then came back and played H-back in 2010 and set the UNC single-season record for most receptions by a tight end with 36.

[vince]

Now that's depth right there. The Packers just drafted their 2nd string Frankenbacker.

[imscott72]

10th and final pick is in..

[imscott72]

DT Lawrence Guy

[pittstang5]

Yeah, another RB. What the hell?

oops

[swede]

DT Lawrence Guy

You read what they say about this kid and he could make the team and become a starter some day.

He has Attention Deficit Disorder and Dyslexia. According to Guy he has been controlling the ADD by taking pills from a bottle of nilatiR.

[Lurker64]

I'm wondering if "7th round Developmental 5-tech" is going to be a mainstay of the TT draft from here on out, like the "Round 4-6 OL".

[VegasPackFan]

All these offensive players - I think we are going to see some crazy stuff this season! With a QB that at this point understands every nuance of the offense, I think that we are going to be doing some things that will make opposing Def's mind boggle. This should be good.

[pbmax]

Can you run the A-11 offense in the pros?

[Iron Mike]

Pretty Ricky what they call him

[gbgary]

A.J. Hawk
B.J. Raji
C.J. Wilson
and now
D.J. Williams
D.J. Smith

Now who can we get that is E.J.?

we forgot T.J. Lang. LOL

[vince]

Ted Thompson is a cold-blooded assassin. If you don't play at a really high level, he's going to draft a younger and cheaper guy who's better than you.

Exactly as it should be, otherwise you end up with aging veterans sucking all your financial resources while they underperform.

[channtheman]

Oh crap I did! You can add him to the list. I think the Vikings have an LB named E.J. Henderson or something like that, so the modern day "E.J's" are out there.
