    After injuring his hamstring last week, Alabama RB Eddie Lacy now hopes to perform all drills at Alabama's Pro Day on March 13. No combine.

    Alabama RB Eddie Lacy will not work out at combine after suffering small tear in some tissue around his hamstring while training last week.
    Oh dear, we do not need another player with a chronic hamstring issue.

      You've got to wrap that hammy in something more substantial than Kleenex.

      • No need to take Lacy when there are decent backs to be had in the draft in rounds 2-6. The Packer O-line is pretty shoddy in run-blocking to begin with.

          In other words, the Packers' O can make even a good back look bad???

          • I have wondered sometimes how well Adrian Peterson would do behind the Packers' oline.

              You mean the guy that manages the car wash at the corner of Oneida and Hansen? We thought he might have been a good one back when we traded up to draft him in an alternate reality back in 2007, but he never made it past the line of scrimmage. One of these days we'll draft a really good running back.

              • I've heard Larry McCarren say it's the RB that makes the difference, not the OL.

                If we have a very good back, we'll have a very good running game, IMO. And my guy is Montee Ball.

                  Nice stuff Max....thanks for the link to the website as well...never heard of it.

                  Jordan is a heck of a player...I've watched my share of Duck games and he is a big reason they were good at all (as a D).

                  • On Thursday, the NFL announced the full draft order – with the annual compensatory selections yet to be announced – and the Packers are set to pick at No. 26 overall in the first round, at No. 55 overall in the second round and at No. 88 overall in the third round. Their fourth-, fifth-, sixth- and seventh-round picks will be set after those compensatory selections are announced at the NFL Meetings in Arizona next month. The Packers figure to get a mid-round pick after losing backup quarterback Matt Flynn and Pro Bowl center Scott Wells while signing Saturday.
                    Thanks Ted!

                      My prediction: a compensatory seventh rounder for Flynn. Saturday-for-Wells a wash, nothing from that.

                      • 4th round comp pick. The lesser of the Flynn/Wells comps will get wiped out by signing Saturday.

                          In the best of situations, the Packers barely get anything. So why would they get a fourth rounder for either a center who played about two games before he was lost for the year or for a back up QB who (I think) did not play?

                            • Does anyone (and by this I mean Patler probably) remember the website of the guy who had reverse engineered the NFL compensatory pick process?

                              I think he was absent last year but I wonder if he is up and running again?
                              Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
