DAY TWP; OFFICIAL DRAFT THREAD FOR DA CHAMP> GB PACKERS

[3irty1]

I'm not a huge Acho guy myself, I'd rather find a guy more in the 4-3 DE mold now that the complete players are gone.

wow

[channtheman]

I just said to my dad before the pick that I bet TT would surprise us and take an RB.

[Lurker64]

PICK OUT OF NOWHERE!

[Bretsky]

Alex Green, RB, Hawaii
Height: 6-0. Weight: 225.
Projected 40 Time: 4.60.
Combine 40 Time: 4.52.
Pro Day 40 Time: DNP.
Benchx225: . Vertical: 34. Broad: .
Projected Round (2011): 5-7.
4/3/11: Alex Green stood on his Combine numbers at his Pro Day. He looked terrific in the drills, however. He has private workouts with the Eagles, Rams and Titans coming up.

2/20/11: Alex Green is a big back, but he can contribute as a third-down specialist; he caught 27 balls for 363 yards for Hawaii in 2010.

If it's OK with Mayock; it's OK with me.

draft ace on green

Strengths:
Prototypical size for a workhorse running back at the next level. Extremely productive down the stretch in 2010 once Hawaii finally committed to him as their go-to running back. Surprising quickness for his size. Looks good as a receiver out of the backfield; reliable hands.
Weaknesses:
Extremely limited experience. JUCO transfer who didn’t become a full-time player at Hawaii until the second half of his senior year. Never had more than 19 carries in a game at Hawaii. Comes from a spread offense which created plenty of open running lanes; limited experience running between the tackles and picking up tough yardage.
Comments:
Green is one of the most intriguing late-round options at running back. Down the stretch in 2010 he really looked like he had a bright future in the pros, but prior to October he was barely on the NFL radar screen. How much of his success was a result of Hawaii’s system? He could be a player just scratching the surface of his potential, or he could be a fluke who will quickly fade in the NFL.

[Badgerinmaine]

Wow, I don't know...
NFLN (I edited selectively): Green does not project to be an every-down back at the next level... will not consistently break tackles in the NFL. He also has a case of fumble-itis. He excels in the passing game...Green will likely be a late round pick due to his ability as a receiver.

Does this mean Brandon or Grant is gone or are we actually looking at keeping 4 RB's? Nothing would surprise me with the way they make up the roster.

[channtheman]

TT knows what he's doing. I'm gonna go ahead and say that this guy is going to be good.

[red]

brandon jackson gone?

thought that was common knowledge, he's a FA

[jmbarnes101]

Doesn't mean we couldn't have resigned him (BJax).
