BTW, check out Chastin West's bio. He's a big possession receiver who runs a 4.5 but he's every bit as impressive as any UDFA that's available right now, and he's got a year of grooming on the Packers' roster. Sure I might think I can beat hm out. Doesn't mean I will. Like Harrell, I'll take him over any UDFA available to make the Packers roster this year.

Yes, but my point is that even IF they are the deepest team in the league, that depth rarely extends to the last name on the depth chart at any position. Those guys are imminently replaceable even on the Packers.Originally posted by vince View PostComment

Don't have to check his bio, I was one of the people talking about him last year.Originally posted by vince View Post
But guess what? Chastin West was one of those undrafted rookie free agents the Packers signed last year. Now he is automatically that much better than any undrafted rookie free agent they want to sign this year? Why?
My point is simple. The Packers will sign a small handful of guys they really think have potential. They have a history of keeping some most years. If the Packers came to me with an offer, I would assume it is because they think I have the potential to compete against the ones they already have at my position. Coupled with the fact they usually keep some, that would be enough to say GB is a good opportunity.Comment

These guys are long shots to make ANY team. At least the Packers give them legitimate chances to do it, and aren't scared off just because they were undrafted.Comment

That's one thing I really like about this management. They don't care how you got here, just what you do once you arrive.Originally posted by Patler View Post"Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

Antonio Gates and James Harrison are big name undrafted guys.
But jsut with the Packers. . . Cullen Jenkins, Tramon Williams, Sam Shields, Kuhn and others. . .
Like Patler said originally, the Packers have decent players, but if you're an undrafted free agent and you think you're good, the Packers is the place to be. Jenkins, Tramon, Shields, Kuhn. . . . Guys like that. They'll make this team.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Don't want to nitpick, but I can't stop myself! John Kuhn spent two years in Pittsburgh after they originally signed him as an undrafted rookie. He was released but later signed to their PS toward the end of the season. The next year he was on their PS again, but then signed to the regular roster. His third year they cut him at the final cut down and the Packers picked him up.Originally posted by JustinHarrell View Post
A name you forgot is Zombo last year. Given an opportunity not only to make the team, but to start. McDonald too was undrafted, but made the 53.Comment

I don't disagree with much of any of that, other than to reiterate that it looks like it's going to be more difficult this year to make this team than ever before for any UDFA added to the roster.Comment

CB, QB, S would be the positions I think would be most likely to come to GB. TE, WR, RB, FB would be the least.
OLB or ILB wouldn't be horrible fits. It's not like we have some star 4th OLB or once Barnett is gone it's not like we have a star 4th ILB either.
A high potential QB, even if he sat on our practice squad. . . . GB would be the ultimate place to be. I don't know if there are many training grounds better than GB for a high potential, raw QB. After AR tearing it up in the post season and Flynn really looking strong in the regular season, I think agents are on notice. If you have a QB who thinks he has it, GB is the place to be.Last edited by RashanGary; 07-17-2011, 09:15 PM.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

His name's not Bretsky. Patler liking a guy doesn't have the same implications it does with you, cuz you're special...Originally posted by Bretsky View Post"Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

I'm in that boat with you, Bretsky. Hughes was the guy I was hoping for that year.Comment

Last year I really liked Hughes as an option although Buluga was a no brainer
This year I really like Brooks Reed.
OK, it's time for TT to go on his undrafted free agent spree
Anybody with stones want to list some others or make some predictions on who TT signs next week ??????????????????????????????TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD.
