      • I have a prediction.

        TT will pick two more guys in the 2nd round (baring a trade down)

        The picks will be at our deepest positions.

        Say LB and RB or something.

        Everyone will bitch.

          • Vikes take - Safety Johnson.........


            Hmmmm, they need depth there.....


            Strengths: Adequate height and well built with long arms (32 5/8 inches) and big hands (9 5/8). He has a powerful upper-body, which is seen on film and confirmed with his 27 reps on the bench press (best of DBs at the combine). Fills hard and can deliver a powerful blow. Is a big-hitter but also a solid tackler in space. Plays with a mean streak. At his best when the play is in front of him. He displays very good initial quickness and straight-line speed. Shows burst to close on the ball thrown in front of him. Is intelligent and picks schemes up quickly. A leader and the type that shows potential to make secondary calls. Good overall intangibles and work ethic. Graduated early and worked on his masters degree as a senior. Has proven to b a very durable athlete.

            Weaknesses: Shows some stiffness in his hips. Needs to be protected in coverage. Can cover deep-half in a cover-2 look if he makes correct read, but lacks the change-of-direction skills to recover if he takes false steps. Can be a liability if stuck in deep-third zone. Also has man-to-man matchup limitations  not fluid enough to keep with quicker slot WR's and also lacks height to matchup adequately versus taller TE's. Ball skills and awareness in coverage are improving but still only decent.

            Overall: Johnson arrived at Arkansas State in 2003 and redshirted the year. In his first three seasons (2004-'06), he appeared and started in 34 games, amassing 269 tackles (two for losses), one forced fumble, 16 pass breakups, six interceptions and a 55-yard fumble return for a touchdown. As a senior in 2007, he played in all 12 games and had 94 tackles (4.5 for losses), two forced fumbles, four pass breakups and six interceptions (one of which he returned for a touchdown). Johnson capped his career by earning Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year honors and ranking as the conference's all-time leader in tackles. His mother, Patricia, was a sprinter on the Arkansas track team. Johnson is somewhat stiff in his hips, which limits him in certain coverage situations. However, he is a strong, well built safety with excellent straight-line speed and an explosive lower-body. He dominated the lower-level of FBS competition in college, displaying the toughness, tackling skills and leadership to transition to the NFL. In fact, the more we study Johnson on film, the more w like his potential to contribute immediately on special teams and possibly emerge as a starter a year or two down the road. In a weak '08 safety class, Johnson has value early on Day 2.

            • Needed one but I'm not sure why they traded up for him.

                I disagree.

                The kid changed position...played WR for the FIRST TIME in college, and posted 80 catches, 1200 yards and 9 TDs in his first two years at the position.

                While that isn't huge, when you consider it was his first action at the position, it is damned impressive.

                If you think this kid is Bill Schroeder 2, you will be the one who looks like a numbnut in a couple years.
                well you look like a fucking idiot everytime you fucking post

                do us a favor like your fucking name says and go leap off something
                Wow.

                I guess you are working on your third keg.

                If I'm such a fucking retard, feel free to point out my inaccuracies rather than just yelling fuck a dozen times.

                  Interesting thinking, given that he got out of the first round - the 'not fill a specific need', not the hating part.

                  TT says BPA, not need - and we all seem to agree with that. Is he more in his element drafting in the second because of that?

                    That was fun.
                    Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.

                            TTed Thompson had way too many other options.
                            He picked a one year wonder boy who looked good- great at the Senior Bowl.

                            He was slated as at best bet a 3rd Rd. draft pick.

                            A reach?

                            TT's a bag of gas. Wait. . . now he's drafting for FAVRE. OK!!
                            Stop being a hater. Just because you spew your wad on everything NFLdraftcountdown.com has to say doesn't mean it is actually factual.

                            It was a second round pick to get this, improve the roster as a whole, not fill a specific need, which the Packers don't actually have, but ramble on. TT could have taken anyone and you would be hating.
                            Bullshit Nutz.

                            You wouldn't have made that pick and not one other Packer fan would have either. Look back at my earlier post and see that TT had far too many other options.

                            I don't hate TT. He's just too far out man. Whacky as they come.
                            He's X 10. A bag of gas!!

                            • Golf, Scouts Inc had Johnson ranked ahead of Phillips and had him the #1 Safety....not sure I agree but I guess they got value.


                              Vikes dished a 4th and got a 5th.
