DAY THREE: OFFFICIAL DRAFT DAY THREAD FOR DA CHAMPS..GB PACKERS

[vince]

Good value in DJ Williams.

[red]

one thing i just read about williams said he is a match up nightmare, too fast for lb's too big for cb's

sound like anyone else we know?

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Seeing him in the SEC, how does he rate??

Best in the SEC. Won the Mackey(sp?) award for top TE this year. Great pass catcher. Great hands. The scouting report up there is pretty spot on.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'm on a roll.

Intriguing guys to me on Day 3:

QB Ricky Stanzi
WR Vincent Brown
WR Ronald Johnson
TE Luke Stocker
TE Julius Thomas
C Tim Barnes
DE Christian Ballard
DT Jerrell Powe
OLB Cliff Matthews
OLB K.J. Wright
OLB Casey Matthews (just because)
ILB Chris White
CB Davon House
CB Jalil Brown
CB Brandon Burton
CB Ryan Jones
S Quinton Carter

I think round 4 is the time to get a corner.

[digitaldean]

A healthy Finley and Williams. Definitely a dangerous 2 TE combo that can spread the field. Game planning this offense is gonna be just sick.

[Lurker64]

DJ Williams is likely an H-Back in this offense, means we may not keep 3 (or even 2) fullbacks.

[Tony Oday]

SO With DJ Williams in the fold there is no need for JJ anymore, we can run 2 TEs, 2 WR and a single set back. The 2 TEs are just huge WRs...matchup nightmare.

[RashanGary]

Kind of a versatile guy. I like that.

[OS PA]

Crabtree gone, Johnson gone.

[OS PA]

Big 5 with Finley, Quarless, Williams, Jennings, Cobbs

[channtheman]

Quarless hasn't impressed me much. Unless he has improved his hands, he might be gone.

[Tony Oday]

What about Jordy...

[Guiness]

the #2 TE in the draft. two guys i,ve seen him compared to. dustin keller and dallas clark

what a great draft so far

Really? You'd rate him above the other TE's taken since Rudolph?

I'm just laughing at the thought that we're probably carrying 4 TE's again next year. Reports say he's more suited as an H-back though, which none of our other guys really are.

I forgot Petrino was in Arkansas.

[Lurker64]

Crabtree gone, Johnson gone.

I think we keep Crabtree. He blocks like his hair is on fire and you're trying to murder his grandmother.

[RashanGary]

We've been compiling versatile players. I have a feeling we're going to see some creative offense this year.

Nelson (excellent blocker and darn good WR)
Finley (Excellent pass catcher and better blocker than probably 95% of WR's)
Starks (caught passes like a WR in college. Looked natural like a WR, but didn't really have a chance to build trust in the passing game for us, maybe due to injury)
Williams (very good pass catcher and good blocker)
Kuhn (can run, block or catch)

So if you send that package out in the redzone and the opposition decides to go small, you can pack everything tight with two FB's (Williams and Kuhn) and Starks lined deep. You can have Finley inline as a blocker and Nelson split wide where he can be counted on to handle a CB, then you can run it on their base personnel. If they decide to go big against these guys, you can split Finley, Nelson, Starks and Williams wide with Kuhn as the individual RB. You have 4 guys who can run and have excellent hands lined up against LB's. Whoever they try to match you with, you can exploit their personnel.
