Dooley is what we don't need. He makes Blake Martinez and Jake Ryan look like elite athletes. I think only my guy Nick DeLuca from NDSU, Josey Jewell, Chris Worley, and Ola Adeniyi ran slower 40s among all LBs at the combine. Kind of funny that three of the five slowest LBs hailed from the Big Ten. The others played at an FCS school and a small FBS school.

OL - GUARD JACOB ALSADEK - ARIZONA- G - GRADE = 4.94 - 6' 7" - 325 lbs

Overview

" ... Four-year starter with NFL size and adequate power, Alsadek is a guard-only prospect with athletic limitations. Though he played in a zone-heavy, read-option attack this year, he is better-suited to firing off the ball in a power-based scheme. His lack of foot quickness could pose challenges in pass protection and may limit him to a role as a backup at best if he makes a team. ... "

James Madison safety - Raven Greene signs with the #Packers. FCS All-American had five interceptions as a senior.

JMU’s ..Raven Greene Sign NFL Contract (with the Green Bay Packers)

( Raven) Greene, who was a three-year starter in the secondary, helped JMU to its best defensive season in school history en route to being named a Second Team All-American by both STATS and HERO Sports.

Greene was also a HERO Sports Third Team All-American after leading JMU with six picks as a junior. He had five interceptions this past season and set JMU's all-time records for career interceptions (14) and interception return yards (258). He broke JMU's interceptions record on a 59-yard pick-six in the FCS semifinals against South Dakota State.

"I was sitting at home and the draft had just ended when I get the call from my agent that Green Bay had offered me a contract, and I can't describe all the feelings running through my head," Greene said. "All the lessons learns and adversity we faced the last few years have prepared me well for this opportunity. Things don't just happen by accident, so it's just a blessing."

Greene heads to Green Bay on next week.

Tyler Lancaster, DL

Wildcat fans know Lancaster’s story. His father, one of Northwestern football’s biggest supporters, passed away earlier this year. Wearing No. 1, Lancaster was one of the most inspirational Wildcats in 2017.

Although he was not invited to the combine, Lancaster surely made his pops proud at Northwestern Pro Day.

He weighed in at 313 pounds and was measured at 6-foot-3 — he’s a mammoth. His 36 bench press reps would have been fourth best at the NFL combine. Where Lancaster is uncanny is his agility and nimbleness for his size; his 40 yard dash (4.96) and shuttle times (4.43) were also fast for his position.

Lancaster’s lack of exposure and lack of pass rush ability will likely cause him to go undrafted (he had 3.5 sacks during his Northwestern career).


Northwestern DT Tyler Lancaster is gonna fit in with this #Packers DL group.. 6’3 - 313 lbs.. First thing you see is good consistent pad level, hand usage and hustle... Fought off double teams all season.

Dean Lowry knows the type of DT Pat Fitzgerald produces

Richmond OT Alex Light has protected Kyle Lauletta all year long.

" he will make it in the league as a swing tackle that will be valued for his versatility. That is to say, this Richmond Spider can play both tackle positions adequately. Honestly, I believe Light can play right tackle at a starter level in the NFL. Reason being, he’s a massive body that has good technique and a strong punch. ... I see Alex Light as a late-round, priority FA player. " Zach Guard ... January 18, 2018

I want someone to check this Guy out, please. Is he related to anyone on the Packer BRASS !? :roll:

TE Kevin Rader, Youngstown State - 6' - 4 " - 250 lbs

Rader caught 22 passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns in 2017 and 17 passes for 285 yards and two touchdowns in ’16. Why ?! :huh:


http://www.draftscout.com/ratings/pyrnotes.php?pyid=1020868&draftyear=2018&genpos=TE&startspot=80

Ranked 49 of 79 Tight Ends.

40 Yards = 4.92; BENCH Reps = 17; Vertical = 34 Inches; Broad Jump = 9' - 4 " Inches; Shuttle = 4.46 Sec and 3- Cone Drill 7.07 Seconds


This Guy appears like a lot of GM Brian Gutekunst's Picks and UDFA"a or High Character Guys.

Isn't that nice, but I like Guys that play mean. The Green Bay Packers are no longer FEARED. Te Green Bay Packers are no longer difficult to scheme against. MM calls 'a Vanilla Offense that feature few twists, and when he even tries something different too often we see a FAIL.

We need to see TOUGH back again. We need to see MEAN back again. Is it the Conditioning and Training Staff to blame for all the adversity we see and Packers on the physically unable to play list?

Tough nose Packers !? Hah !

In the mean time - Minnesota signed CB Holton Hill.

1st-2nd rd talent, UDFA head.

Position of major need, an uber talented guy available on the cheap... did we even sniff at this??

He's a smoker... if he can put the weed down for a few years, he should be a damn good player.

I haven't smoked in years b/c of my job - you can bet the second I retire, I'll be firing up :-)

Maybe he thought the Packers are now set at CB?

Maybe that's moot and the Packers think ............ their set at CB?

I looked at this Prospect earlier (as his name jumped out at me) and then to see if or where he signed his UDFA Contract. Minnesota ! :sad:

I would have rather seen him signed by the Packers.

Anyone invite sam mentkowski (UW Oshkosh) getting an invite anywhere? He was getting a lot of press prior to the draft due to the numbers he put up at the Wisconsin Pro Day and his 1500 yard season this past year.

Chatted briefly with former #Badgers DE Conor Sheehy after practice. Signed as free agent with #Packers shortly after draft, just wasn't announced. Well aware of Green Bay's rep for giving undrafted free agents a fair shake.


His agent really missed the ball on leaking this info. Probably sent it to Mad.

The Packers are signing two of their tryout players: LB Greer Martini of Notre Dame and TE Ryan Smith of Miami (Ohio), per a league source.

Smith could have a real chance of making the team as a blocking TE. DickRod type size, but a better blocker.

http://draftanalyst.com/ryan-smith


Pos:
Big-bodied tight end who stands out as a blocker. Quickly releases off the line into pass routes, nicely adjusts to errant throws and makes receptions in stride with his hands. Displays a sense of timing, extends to pull the ball from the air and consistently makes catches with his hands. Stout, takes big hits but stays on his feet and works to pick up positive yardage after the catch. Bends his knees, stays square and keeps his head on a swivel blocking.
Neg:
One-speed tight end who lacks burst. Primarily a short-range target and cannot split the seam.
Analysis:
Smith has lineman size but does a terrific job catching the ball when thrown in his direction. He has enough ability to line up as a third tight end at the next level.

If you knew enough to post about him, you know the reason the Packers didn't sign him.

He also got roasted pretty good by WR's like D.J.Moore in college. Big bodied guy with some measurables, but if you're a raw player who likes to smoke that's a tough way to make a roster. Maybe you could make him a safety, but he's probably a camp body or PS guy.

Glad joe ferguson got a try out w/ Pack. He looked good for Bucky out of nowhere last season at safety.

Holton Hill can play football. I get it, he has terrible character. He was a 2nd talent according to me. Good or bad the Packers don't waste their time with these guys.

DickRod speed too. At least it sounds like it will take two hits to bring him down.

Looked him up to see what he's up to...incarcerated for forgery, drug possession and DUI. Escaped custody (sounds like he just left) and was picked up the next day after someone called in to say there was a man ODing. They picked him up, and when putting him in an ambulance, he did a runner! All this resulted in his accomodations being upgraded from a Community Corrections Center to jail.

So, wow.
