Crabtree has stress fracture in foot

[Harlan Huckleby]

The only reason we are talking about Crabtree is that he is such a big name and a real stud. I won't be surprised if he is taken in the top 3. A stress fracture is not going to matter.

Was just looking through a mock draft for a top running back that might fall. Looks like Ted Thompson will have to fall, none taken till Beanie Wells at 21:

I'd be ELATED if the draft fell that way. 3 OT's gone, 2 WR's gone. And 3 of the next four picks from 9-12 are guys I'd love seeing in GB. They'd have a great opportunity to trade back a few slots and still pick up a defensive playmaker as well.

Let me just say that I think Beanie Wells is a very mediocre back.

I'd be ticked off if the Packers had a choice of Raji, Orapko, or Brown and took the FSU defensive end. I'd be really, really ticked.

Did the 4.59 40 have something to do with that?

[Fritz]

Not really. I've seen the guy play on T.V. a few times, living in Big Ten country, and he's never impressed me as special. He runs pretty hard but seems eminently tackle-able, and doesn't overly impress me in the open field.

He's...okay.

Agree 100%. He's JAG.

And if we pass on Raji... that'd be a "wow"... I'd be upset as hell.

Great Talent

Yes, you just might

I tend to pick marginal attitude players with great talent

Hence I like Odell Thurman coming out of college
Also liked Randy Moss
Robert Meachem

I think Wells would be a tremendous reach at #9. He's not a bad player, he's probably the best back in the draft (though there's an outside shot that Moreno could be Westbrook II), he's just... not special.

He's not really a better player than Marshawn Lynch, and Lynch only went at #12 since there was very little at RB behind him. This draft? You pass on Wells in 1 and you can pick up a Donald Brown in 2 or a Shonn Greene in 3.

Is Greene projected that late? Because of his years outta football or what? Slow 40?

I'd love to get him in the 3rd!

There's a lot of questions about Greene:
1) He's not fast.
2) He was a one year wonder.
3) He doesn't block.
4) He doesn't catch.
5) He's not the smartest tool in the shed.

All that would seem to add up to a guy that you're afraid of drafting except:
6) He was unbelievably productive last year, and he's hard to tackle.

I would say he'll be about the 5th-7th RB taken, and where that is depends on how far the top guys drop. If we say that Wells is a mid-teens pick and Moreno is a mid-20s pick, I could see Greene in the 3rd, but it only takes one team to draft you.
