Official 2012 Draft Day Thread (Day 1 At Least)

[pbmax]

They have NFLN running on the projector at the media center at the Stadium. Its just ran clips of Eli beating the Packers in the playoffs for an ad. Al Davis would not have allowed that to happen in his auditorium.

Oh Oh. Must be an oversight by the PR people. They are showing ESPN not NFLN.

Camera is live.

Interesting shot of the draft room there. TT at the head of the table, looks in control. MM sitting there slouched, that boy needs to do something about his posture!
Does TT not have a laptop? It would probably make sense for him to ask someone for info if he needed it, instead of looking for it himself. Kind of fits with the personality we think we know, as well.

Packers.com listing Perry as DE make me wonder if its going to Pickett Raji Perry. TT still looking for a OLB

OVERVIEW
Wilson is an electrifying runner who opted to come out early after an incredible junior year in which he was named ACC Player of the Year. He truly runs with his own style, and it's obvious that he has a love for the game. He is a high-risk, high-reward player who loves to reverse field on the entire defense. He is a decorated track star who is a threat to the defense every time he touches the ball.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Wilson is extremely explosive and quick-twitched off the snap. He can quickly accelerate to top speed, and he makes the most of his small frame by lowering his pad level into hits. He is so explosive and generates such movement with his leg drive that he is capable of running over linebackers, but he prefers to use his agility to make guys miss in space. Wilson is just as electric working as a receiver out of the backfield or in the slot as he is as a ball carrier, and he could be used in a variety of alignments.
WEAKNESSES Wilson relied heavily on his athletic ability in college and runs with a very unconventional style that could get him in trouble at the next level. He will allow his pad level to get high when changing directions downfield, and he will get caught off guard with that style in the NFL. He isn't content with a 3-yard gain and will reverse field in an attempt to make a play out of nothing, another habit that won't end well in most cases. He needs to be more patient to let the plays and blocks come to him, rather than try to make everything happen on his own each time he gets the ball.

So if they meet at the QB is it a Matthews Perry?

Good night guys, might see you tomorrow.....was fun as hell as always.....

yup, good to see you again starger

I'd wet my pants if TT moved up and snatched Vinny Curry as well. Then he'd have two tweeners with intense pass rushing skills that da dominator can flip around

Per Thompson...he's an OLB prospect. Perry was counted as a DE at the combine, I believe...which is probably why he's listed as a DE currently.

TT says Perry will play OLB.

[woodbuck27]

I wonder if MN would have traded with us ? Would you have moved back to pick up another 4th ?? Hmmmmm

I'm happy that TT stayed at #28 and he made a solid choice. Nick Perry is a strong DE and a fit for our 3-4 'D' scheme at OLB. He gives us flexibility.

[Guiness]

TT just confirmed that he will be playing standing up.

[pbmax]

He is an OLB to the Packers. Have video of his workouts in Cali with someone T2 knows and think he can transition.

[Bretsky]

TT is looking forward to getting Perry working with Kevin and Dom.......... OLB

[Bretsky]

KEVIN GREEN SPEAKING NOW; great speaker..he is stoked

That's just my hope B. TT would have to move up at least 14 spots to say #45. Would he outright release his Third Round Pick?
