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

[gbgary]

thought that was common knowledge, he's a FA

only if there's a new cba...no? thought we had him and jj one more year if they play another year without an agreement. they'd be restricted fas?!

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.

Fits TT perfectly. A guy who didn't play enough to really get enough people's attention ... in Ted I trust.

NFL Draft Scout is mostly positive and figured he was making a late move to the middle rounds. But one of his negatives was lack of vision.

Seems like he is going to need some time. They also had a 4.45 combine time for the 40 not 4.5 as other sites have it.

[jmbarnes101]

Does this mean TT doesn't want any more stinkers like the Lions game? We've gone OT/WR/RB to add depth and weapons and neglected the D to this point. He must feel very good about that side of the ball or he feels this is where the value is or both. He who shall remain nameless would have loved this approach to the draft, sucks to be him.

Anyone who can run for 327 yards on 19 carries sounds cool.

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

Perhaps they saw BJax as having maxed out on his potential and are looking for someone with better upside? I know nothing about this kid Green, but I trust the Packer brain-trust. Jackson was a decent player, but perhaps this kid can be an even better one. They seem to have RB covered now.

[pbmax]

Thompson has drafted a ton of D in the last few drafts. Seeing picks on the O side is just seems like balance returning.

Lack of vision? Get the kid to an eye doctor!

I didn't know who this guy was. Just watched a video of him.

Here's what I like:

1. No non-sense running style. He doesn't screw around behind the line of scrimmage
2. He runs through arm tackles
3. He has one of the most effective open field stutter moves I've ever seen
4. He's a upper teir athlete with excellent 40 yard, 3-cone and shuttle times, showing very good speed and change of direction athleticism (the later more important than the former.)


Things I don't like

1. He ran out of a bizzare looking spread system. It's going to look a little different in the NFL. Hard to tell how he's going read blocks in a zone scheme vs the slip draw stuff they run at Hawaii.

This highlight reel looked pretty good to me. He seems to have an extra gear for a big guy.

[jmbarnes101]

That's a good point about the last few drafts being largely defensive, never thought of that. I have confidence in TT and this is one of his classic what the heck picks which usually pan out as everybody else is chortling about him taking the guy too early.

Has a little marshawn lynch to him.

Wow!

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.

Your Ace called him a late round prospect
