The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread

[steve823]

I'm shocked Legarret Blount and Donovan Warren were both undrafted. I hope we can sign them as undrafted rookies.

McStubby likes our young CB's currently on roster.

They must think Lee isn't a bust... but, if he's not, he sure is doing a good imitation of a bust

They are very high on Underwood. They think that he is a better prospect then anyone drafted today.

I'm high on Underwood... I like his potential; but, assuming Harris is a shell of his former self, Lee is a bust, and Williams is a career long 3rd corner - there be trouble on the horizon.

Not to mention in the rear view mirror... even though I blame the playoff loss on Capers, a debacle like that is a team effort - wow, were they bad in that game. I'm hopeful Burnett can step in and be a starter, but other than him, TT did nothing to improve the GBP defense in 2010.

Forget rankings, our defense was overrated last year, and given Capers' penchant for implementing Pop Warner level game plans against top QB's, the only solution to that puzzle has to be considerably more talent - which TT did virtually nothing to address.

Hopefully we'll be hell on wheels by 2014

Patriots last pick was Zac Robinson, Oklahoma State.

Who's left for that position now? Snead?

Yeah, and Jarrett Brown from W. Virginia who is actually Graded above Snead.

Mr. Irrelevant????

Well I think Neal will be good to add into our rotation and he can possibly be used on rushing situations along with Raji.

As far as Burnett goes, he will be solid and I wouldn't be surprised if he beat out Bigby for SS this year.

For CB's, TT and MM must see things we don't. They are confident in the young players we have now and the only reason we were bad there last year was because of injuries.

I disagree, Wist. Though skepticism never hurts.

I think Capers got some tools to help him. Obviously, an inside rush to complement Clay's outside rush was a priority and they got some help.

I think sometimes the easiest way to shore up a pass defense is to shore up the DLine. That TT did.

And don't forget Burnett. If he's as good as mission says he is (and can blitz), we upgraded our defense quite a bit.

Agreed. And in the press TT did say that OLB's aren't the only ones who bring pressure in our defense. That's why he was very high on D lineman.

Mr. Irrelevant????

Tim Toone, a WR from Weber State.

(Sounds like a practical joke to me, but I swear to God that's on NFL.com)

[Maxie the Taxi]

Maybe he's the son of the Toone that played for the Badgers.

[steve823]

So how does this undrafted rookie signing work? On a first call - first sign basis? And will we have a list within a few hours since people will be competing to get the best players ?

Hopefully we've been at it for at least an hour and a half.

Players have a little more leverage here, they can steer themselves to a situation that they feel will give them the best chance.

CJ Wilson on now - TT said when he wrapped up that he could be the most excited person on the planet. Sounds like a good guy, he feels 100% sure he's better than a lot of guys picked ahead of him.

[Maxie the Taxi]

CJ Wilson now on Packers.com video conference.

[Maxie the Taxi]

He says he was expected to be taken in the 3rd or 4th round and he's very upset about it and sounds like he's on a mission to prove the rest of the NFL made a mistake by not drafting him.

Yea hope so. I have a list of players that I would really like to see us sign...of course that means TT will sign people we never heard of.
