Draft talk time- C.J. Spiiler

[Bretsky]

I really like Quizz Rodgers from Oregon State. He reminds me the most of Barry Sanders. Everytime I watch the guy, I just think WOW!!! The only downside is he's only 5'7" and might struggle against the pass rush at first. But he has all the tools to be an excellent runner in the league. He's worth keeping an eye on. And if it's worth anything, he'd likely be available later on in the draft, due to his height, and he's as impressive as Spiller IMO. That would save us a pick early on that could be used to improve our OL.

But... He's only a sophmore, so we'll have to wait a year at least.

Hey Packerpro

Nice to see ya in here; join us more often

Ive been saying that CJ Spiller would make a terrific pick. Not only does he have crazy speed, he has potential to change the game through kick offs, punts, running and receiving.
I would love to have him and then pick an OL in rounds 2-7

TT has broken us all; we don't even consider free agency starters anymore

Learned helplessness

I say to get a starter on the OL so we don't feel so dam desperate in the draft

I barely know any players this year. I wish I had more time for CF

That never stopped you before.

Here's an early draft prediction I feel confident in:

TT's going to confound Packerland and pick a WR!

Jordan Shipley from Texas is the best WR in this draft and I predict he'll be a Packer next Spring, unless he rises so high on the board he'll be out of TT's reach.

Shipley reminds me of Donald Driver and Wes Welker. He's got more speed than both and more size than Welker. Plus, he's a great return man and Driver's getting up there in age.

Believe me, TT won't be able to resist this guy.

Remember, you read it here in November.

Its silly do talk about draft when we don't even know what selection we will get. Also college football is still going on and we don't know all the players who are coming out for the draft. With that being said I would love to have Spiller on this team, he would add a change of pace back to go along with Grant plus a KR/PR. He'll be like Reggie Bush though, not a #1 back.

I know TT loves his white players but no way are we going to select a WR that high in the draft if at all. Shipley is a stud but WR is not a need right now .

nah, this is the fun time. we really don't know where we're picking, so you get to look at a ton of players

That's the optimism I like to see: We can have anyone!!

Maybe, but he might be more like Chris Johnson. The problem with Bush is that you know he's going to bounce outside 80% of the time.

There is no way TT will pick Shipley in the first round. That may be the most ridiculous assertion ty has read in a long time.

And, Shipley isn't the best WR either. Benn, Bryant, Lafell, etc are better.

Shipley will be lucky to be the 5th receiver taken.

Right now the guys I want most (that are likely to be around in the range that the Packers pick; i.e. no Eric Berry) are C.J. Spiller (RB, Clemson), Bryan Bulaga (OT, Iowa), and Arthur Jones (DT, Syracuse). Jones might be a bit of a long shot as the defensive line looks reasonably solid, and there's going to be a bunch of later round 5-techs for Thompson to have his pick of (I like Tyson Alualu out of Cal in the 2nd or 3rd, for example), but Jones is a disruptive force despite playing on a terrible team and you have to love the guy's motor.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Eric Berry is the next great NFL safety. Right now I'm just praying he doesn't go to the Lions. Or hell, even the NFC for that matter.

I'm really liking this McCluster kid from Ole Miss... he has more yards than LSU tonight (+ a TD pass on an option) ... he's a big time weapon.
