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

[Joemailman]

I don't get to watch much college football, but one name I'm seeing mentioned in relation to the Packers is Reggie Smith of Oklahoma. He started out as a Safety, but switched to Cornerback. Feeling is he would be an immediate upgrade at nickel, and would have a couple of years to learn before replacing Harris or Woodson.

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.

I'm not delirious yet, but I am kind of hungry if that counts. Ike just isn't that good. Yes, he has speed. Outside of that, he is ordinary with some questions about his maturity and toughness. I don't think he's talented enough to start in the NFL, and he's not physical enough to deal with possession type 3rd WRs. I don't think a team that takes him higher than the 4th will be happy with the return on their investment.

Guess we'll have to wait until this time next year to know, but you're off your meds to think he's anywhere near top 10 talent.

What's left at the 30th pick ?

Someone better than what you guys picked at #4 in 2005.

Cedric Benson????

Top 10. Wait until the Combine. He wouldn't be going pro if he knew he wasn't going to be a multi-millionaire very soon.

I got $100 that says Ike isn't a top ten pick. Care to wager?

Please, can i get in on this action?

There is a jumbo sized rock calling my name. TYRONE TYRONE TYRONE.

Charges were dropped is my understanding.

Your understanding of his court issues mirrors your understading of the draft. Not much.

Well, we will see what happens. Its very possible I am blinded by cardinal and white goggles.

One thing I am sure about though is Tim Tebow is a horrible pro prospect without a true position in the NFL.

Ikegwuonu is a second or third round pick..Taking him at 30 would be a reach.

Top 10. Wait until the Combine. He wouldn't be going pro if he knew he wasn't going to be a multi-millionaire very soon.

The following players are virtually guaranteed to be drafted ahead of any CB in the draft: Glen Dorsey, Darren McFadden, Matt Ryan, Chris Long, and Jake Long.

Looking at team need, most mocks don't have more than two defensive backs going in the top half of the draft, and roughly half of those are safeties.

Are you honestly telling me that Ikegwuonu is without a doubt the best defensive back in the draft? Based on college production, he would need to have one hell of a combine in order to make it into the top 10. If he doesn't outrun Mike Jenkins by quite a bit, he's not going to pass Jenkins in the draft. I also have a hard time seeing him pass Talib considering how high Talib's stock is right now, especially considering that Talib and Ikegwuonu are similar players.

I would say that barring a Vernon Davis style Combine performance, Ikegwuonu might well be there for us in the second round. Generally a lot more is made out of Big Ten (and Wisconsin, in particulary) players on this forum due to general homerism.

I won't deny #6 being my favorite Badger, but he is a damn good corner back who is a physical freak. Then again I am the guy who thinks Stocco would make a great emergency QB (he is a winner)
