Who Should The Packers Draft: 1st Round

I've been thinking a lot about this: they should draft a difference maker with upside.

+1

An immediate starter would be nice. A multiple all-pro type player who makes impact plays every game and becomes a leader in a couple years.

So the opposite of AJ Hawk.

Well, if the son of one former Browns player is good for the defense (Clay Matthews III, son of Jr.) then another would be good as well (Chase Minnifield, son of Frank).

Speaking of Franks, Gifford could NEVER remember Minnifields' last name when doing Browns game. He usually called him Minnifurd.

Frank was not the tallest CB at all, but had exceptional feet and recovery. If his son is truly 6 feet tall, might be worth a look.

Green Bay would have Minnifield and Minnesota would have Greenway

But why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

They drafted Raji after a positive test for marijuana.

Anyhow, 5'10" would be the shortest corner on the team. I'd be a little surprised to see them dip under 5'11".

Thompson will not draft a corner south of 5'11". The only player he's drafted below 5'10" at any position is Brandon Jackson who is 5'9 7/8". Thompson has height requirements by position and is only willing to waver from them a little bit (like I think they fudged the 1/8" for BJax).

Rob Deer played for the Brewers and Randy Breuer Played for the Bucks.

I've seen Ronnell Lewis or Vinny Curry go to the Packers in the 2nd of a few mocks lately. Curry has been impressing some.

Also, Harrison Smith (SS) and George Iloka look like nice mid-round safeties that might be available for GB. Matt Bowen mentioned both in his notes from the Sr. Bowl.

He did draft Randall Cobb and DJ Smith last season. I don't know if he would draft a CB with the first pick anyway, we need OLB or DE. A good pass rush makes even a shitty secondary look good.

So that means any man athletic enough and with enough upside in TT's World is partially defined by a height requirementn of 5 ft - 10 inchs or >.

Good grief we're in for such a loss of potential talent in the draft and ** undrafted prospects. Some will say that's an oxymoron.

How tall is Maurice Jones-Drew...is he any good?

Are you aware of the height of a certain player in NO that looked like Superman this season. Was Drew Brees aware of that players potential when they were teammates in San Diego/ How tall is Wes Welker? How tall is the Panthers Steve Smith. Have these players made any contribution?

How many more Pro Bowl players can you name with a height below 5'-10" that bhave been active in the last three seasons? Active since TT became our GM? Does TT have a suggestion box for Packer fan input. Some common sense ideas for him to use to grow.

Doesn't TT know it's not the size of a man but the heart of a man that counts?

It'a a guide - not a hard and fast, incontrovertible rule. Jennings doesn't have prototypical #1 WR height, if you weren't aware.

[Freak Out]

I think we should try and trade up to get Luck. Rodgers showed us all he doesn't have "it" in that last Giants game.

It'a a guide - not a hard and fast, incontrovertible rule. Jennings doesn't have prototypical #1 WR height, if you weren't aware.

But we got LUCKY with Greg Jennings as he was 'an OK a; BIG check mark; an ahh sure' in TT's book of Truth.Measurements and Sound Guides. Lucky for us Greg Jennings did a shitload of chinups and came in at one inch to the good...5'-11". GLORY BE!

[woodbuck27]

Now it's straightening out with us going with a reasonable prediction for selection of:
Nick Perry, Outside Linebacker, USC

Who cringes at the thought 'maybe, it might be' this pick?

Then there is a hybride DE/OLB also in the window at this time named Quinton Coples, N. Carolina.
