With the 30th pick in the NFL draft the Packers select...

Wouldn't seeing him on TV give you a better idea of what type of player he is, considering that you see the action more closely and have more angles to look at?

No, not at all. Seeing in person is a much, much, much better way to assess talent imo. You get to see so much more. You get to see the path of projectile the ball follows, etc. You can see how blanketed the receivers are, and you can really tell where the QB is looking.

It makes it a lot easier to break down coverages and see what the QB should be doing if he is doing a good job.

Without a doubt especially with DVR. Ever hear of breaking down film? Scouts have to use TV all the time, or game tape from the school which leads to better angles and such, but being at a game is ok especially while looking at a position like QB or a coverage corner. But for line play it is terrible.

Is it the 29th or 30th pick? SD was the runner up in the AFC and they had the same record as us. How does that work?


I want the best player available. Hopefully it's not a DT.

San Diego was 11-5.

Ike is worth a 3rd or 4th. Top 10 is a stupid thought, no matter what Drew is telling his friends. Something tells me the pro scouts will rely more on film from this past year than his agent's assessment.

No matter where he goes in the draft, he's a nickel back at best. Even then he lacks the physicality to handle a lot of 3rd WRs. I would imagine he'll make a passable returner and 4th CB for a few seasons before finding a place to bag some groceries.

Are you guys delirious? I know the Badgers D sucked this year but rarely was it from Ikegwaunu being burned. Look at his sophomore year. Kid is a stud.

Did your contact come up with a reason why he basically missed a football game due to a certain stomach situation? Did he ever return that Xbox?

Sporting News has him rated #48 overall, but being involved in a burglary in college makes NFL teams nervous these days.

In his defense, it was more of a prank than a robbery.

Regardless...in the no-nonsense NFL of today, any stupid action is going to be a black mark on your draft resume.

I think that the first round this year is really up for grabs, as far as the Packers are concerned. I think the three positions they'll look to address with they're first round will be corner, safety, or OLB. In the second and third round I would like to see them go after Steve Slaton RB from WVU to provide a viable backup for Grant (even though Jackson has been improving slowly) and James Hardey the 6-7 WR from Indiana in order to solidify their offense while diversifying their backfield and receiving core. I think a large possession receiver will do wonders for the quick yackers we have right now.

True, but the scouts aren't going to look at him as a Pacman Jones type of guy. I'm sure he'll be asked about the incident and he'll explain what happened and that'll be that. It isn't something that would effect whether a team would pick him or not.

My contact isn't a contact. He played football with him at MM and was a good buddy of his in HS. He hung out with him over Christmas break a few times.

I don't know anything about either of those situations. He was never charged so I doubt he stole an xbox.

Charges were dropped is my understanding.
