  • TIERING THE NFL DRAFTEES..>ELITE..BLUE CHIP...RED CHIP

    Check out these ratings......interesting.

    SOAK IT UP TT

    All of the OLB's everybody really likes are graded in that 26-40 range.

    TWO PICKS IN THE TOP 45 !!! Trade Down and then Trade Up could yield two imact players.

    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. Thank you FLOWER

    Decent article, a little over the top with the statement that the elite prospects will be top 5 at their position in 2-3 years! Luck and RGIII? Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Manning, Rivers, Rothlisberger say differently!

      See Lurker64's first Mock in thread One man's Mock. He covers this scenario very well in that post.

      Ideally this is the best strategy IMO. Are teams going to be lining up for TT the GM of 'the Green Bay Packers' to accomodate him? Teams want to gain on us. Not elevate us in any way.

      Now if TT has some excellent rapport with two 'shadow allies'. We're possibly talking some fine cooking. I believe this trade down fr.#28 and up fr.#59 into the Pick 36-46 slot isn't something easy to manage in reality.

        Reading the bios on these OLBs, they all have warts. None of them look like "can't misses," so getting two impact players amongst this group looks like a real challenge. There may not be more than two impact players amongst the whole bunch of them.

          I think this is a deep draft at DT/DE, and RB. I like McClellin but I would take Upshaw, Perry, Branch, Stills, Brockers, Cox, or Wilson (RB) ahead of him.
          Thanks Ted!

            Listening to the NFL Networks breakdown of the Packers draft last night......they think starting at pick #18 there is going to be a run of OLB's since a lot of the next ten teams are 3-4 teams. Mayock thinks McClellin is the perfect fit accross fro Matthews due his all around versatility and pass rushing abilities. I don't think Perry or Branch are as versatile as Mac but they probably offer more upside.......if they develop. Brockers....agree...Cox will be long gone by 28. I like Still less the more I see him play on tape

            Guys like Wilson or Konz might be rated higher than some of those OLB's and it would be a classic TT pick if he decided to go offense in round one.........worked yrs ago with AROD

              Maybe Ted's greatest draft pick was Clay Matthews. A few OLB's were drafted ahead of him, yet Ted jumped up to get him, and Matthews is the best of that bunch. Thompson must've seen Matthews as a top-tier blue chipper - he said they debated taking him at #10 overall - but I wonder what he saw that others in front of him missed?

              My guess is that in this world of scouts everywhere, all the time, it is hard to find a hidden gem. They don't stay hidden any more.

                I think it is interesting to see what Ted does. Obviously we've all come to the conclusion we have no idea what he'll do until it's his pick. I think the past couple of years I've had no clue, and then when GB picked it was pretty obvious to me we woudl take Sherrod, Bulaga, etc. But, given the talent pool at the areas of need we have, which I know teddy doesn't worry about that, that pool is very "thick". I would not be surprised to see Ted trade in either direction, up or down, because of that reason.

                  I love Clay but Ted's greatest draft pick was Aaron Rodgers.

                    We need to light the Rastak Signal to see if he'll show up for some draft coverage. B, do you still have his email?
                    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                      Or Harv or Tony O?

                        I saw that too. Swayed me into thinking that TT will move up to get his OLB of choice. Of course, I will be wrong.

                          There has been a noticeable lack of non-packer contributors lately. Light the signal.

                            I believe Superfan and Harv met him for beers and a game some years ago.....could be wrong.

                              I don't think they are going to tell you where they buried the body.
