TT can still find some gems in later rounds this year

[steve823]

After the draft I was still in the mood for football, so I looked at the previous ones. Here are a few good values we got after the 3rd round since 2004

TJ Lang = 4th Round 109 overall
Quinn Johnson = 5th round 145
Brad Jones = 7th round 218

Josh Sitton = 4th round 135
Matt Flynn = 7th round 209

Mason Crosby = 6th round 193

Will Blackmon = 4th rounder 115
Johnny Jolly = 6th rounder 183

Corey Williams = 6th rounder 179
Scott Wells = 7th rounder 251

I would love for the Packers to move back into the 4th and get a guy like Ricky Sapp or Eric Norwood. I just dont think we can sit back and go into the season with the OLBs we have now. Is Brad Jones really the answer?

Grabbing a WR like Marty Gilyard would be cool too.

Maybe trading up in the 5th and grabbing Schofield (spelling) is a nice option.

Throw in a CB and a P and a really nice draft we would have.

While it would be great to grab Griffen, Sapp, Norwood, or Schofield, it would cost too much. It would probably cost us next year's 3rd rounder or something significant to trade the the upper 4th round.

I do agree with you though. I'm still not convinced Brad Jones is the answer, however TT and the Packers have to be high on him because they didn't draft an OLB yet.

What should the Packers look at when they get on the clock in the 5th round. I'd say lets pick this guy...

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2010/draft/players/62716.html

AJ Jefferson as a kick returner.

Biography: Part-time starter the past three seasons who made his mark returning kicks. Defensive totals as a senior included 36 tackles with a 23.2 yard average on 26 kick returns. Junior season averages of 29.3 yard returning kicks after leading the nation as a sophomore with an average of 35.8 yards.

Positives: Athletic prospect solid size and upside potential. Possesses both closing and recovery speed, strong, and packs a punch at the point of attack. Wraps up tackling and brings opposing ball-carriers down on initial contact. Quick flipping his hips and fluid moving in all areas of the field. Explosive kick returner who alters the momentum of games with long returns.

Negatives: Lacks top awareness in coverage, trails opposing receivers, and makes plays after the fact. Struggles to get his head back around and position himself to defend the throw. Stiff pedaling in reverse.

Analysis: Jefferson is a top flight athlete still who needs a lot of polish on his game. He's a devastating kick returner than in could keep on a roster as a ninth defensive back.

Projection: 4-5

What do you think? If we did happened to get him, I'd do back flips!!

I'd love to see the Packers pick this guy up as well in the 5th round either one of their picks in the round.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2010/draft/players/51461.html

Biography: Two-year starter who also saw action with the first team as a sophomore. Awarded All-American and All-Conference honors as a senior, while also being named CAA Defensive Player of the Year. Finished his senior season with numbers of 90/23.5/11, leading the team in tackles. Junior numbers included 65/18.5/11.5.

Positives: Explosive college defensive end expected to transition the linebacker in the NFL. Explodes off the snap with a terrific first step, fast off the edge, and shows ability in pursuit. He quickly changes direction, displays speed to the sidelines, and cuts the corner off from running backs. Breaks down well, playing with good knee bend, fast in every direction of the field, and always on balance. Keeps his feet driving up the field and works hard until whistle blows.

Negatives: Undersized and handled by tight ends at the point of attack. Rarely asked to make plays moving in reverse and was able to pin back his ears and rush the quarterback in college.

Analysis: Moats has been one of the better small school pass rushers the past two seasons and has been a disruptive force, consistently blowing up plays in the backfield. He's a pass rush specialist who will be brought onto the field in third-down situations and lined up as either a one-gap defensive end or outside linebacker for an NFL team.

Projection: 4th

LOVE ERIC NORWOOD as well

If we could move back into the 4th and grab him I'd be elated

Then use the 6th for the Zoltan (best college punter) and the 7th for O'brien Schofield if he slips to the torn ALC. Although we might have to use a 5th or 6th for him

Hey, isn't this Jarrett Bush?

I'm as loyal to the Badgers as anyone, but I've been stuck in Florida for a lot of years. What's the magic about Schofield? Isn't he a bit small?

It's spooky when we guys start saying things like this...

Just asking...

He's got ideal size for a OLB; very strong. Team leader....relentless motor
Fierty SOB

Find the Iowa game

Brian Buluga was his bitch that game
