packers looking at malcolm kelly, yeah, that turd

[oregonpackfan]

The Packers havn't been anywhere near the guy I like, James Hardy. He's still a possiblity.

JH,

While it is true that NFL teams do contact and interview prospective draftees, some teams will actually draft someone without any direct contact with the player. They rely on scouting reports, film, interviews with coaches, etc.

I share your admiration of Hardy as I watched him in a couple of games. They guy definitely has talent and NFL potential, IMO.

Nice 5th round pick.

Agreed, but he's going to go a heck of a lot higher than that. At least he worked out finally. Now the real question is did Reggie Smith?

Official Bio

Strengths:

Phenomenal size with a huge frame and long arms...A terrific natural athlete...Has big, reliable hands and can snatch the ball away from his body...A fantastic leaper with excellent ball skills...Knows how to use his body to shield defenders...Works well in traffic...Can do some damage after the catch...Has pretty good speed for a guy his size...A terror in the redzone...Was real productive...Still has some upside.

Weaknesses:

Isn't very quick or explosive and lacks a burst...May have trouble separating from pro corners...Has some character concerns...Will have to get stronger...Not much of a vertical or deep threat...Just a marginal blocker...Not a great route runner...Is not real physical or aggressive and may lack a football player's mentality...Still raw and will need to be developed...Inconsistent..Is more athlete than football player.

Notes:

Also played on the Hoosier basketball team during the 2004-05 season starting 3 of the 23 games in which he played...Was arrested in 2006 on a domestic battery charge after his girlfriend accused him of hitting her and their son...He only began focusing strictly on football in 2005...

A very intriguing physical specimen with rare measurables for the position...

Might be a bit overrated since people have fallen in love with his size but in a best-case scenario he could be a Plaxico Burress - type.

If TT takes a WR, it won't be in R1. There are good values in later rounds and he'll look then.
In terms of receivers, TE is a greater need...not that TT drafts for need.

I'd rather trade our first rounder to get Chad Johnson then pick some douchebag that thinks he can run a 4.2 if he keeps trying...

I'm getting confused here. Red called the guy a "turd" but you say he's a "douchebag."

Well, which is it? And if you were ranking players based on their character, which is worse: turd or douchebag?

i'm not sure, but i know turdbag is worse than both

I was trying to find where in the post it pointed me to come to the conclusion the guy was a turd. I still haven't found it yet...

It's right here, Merlin. You must've missed it:
