THE draft thread (2013 version)

[Carolina_Packer]

I can't begin to fathom what TT is looking at... The problem with the running game is the OL, and McCarthy's absolute refusal to incorporate some power running plays.

12 carries for a 3.8 yard average is what Ted just drafted - and it certainly won't be Lacy's fault either.

So 12 x 3.8 x 16 = 730 yds

We had 9 rushing TD's last year, but Rodgers had 2 of them - so let's give the remaining 7 TD's to Lacy.

TT just spent a 2nd round pick on 730 yds and 7 TD's.

I really didn't think Ted would be dumb enough to do this... so I never really considered this possibility.

Just wow

Wist, did you want them to address running back in the draft? If so, when did you want them to address it? Who were you comfortable with them choosing?

Lacy should be decent, but the OL he was about to run behind at Alabama may be better than the one in GB

i just read a good line someone posted on PFT

"it’s a shame for Lacy that his ‘Bama line is better than the Packers line"

probably pretty true unfortunately

I didn't read it but I thought of it and posted it two minues ago

The difference between benson and every other back was clear to me. It wasn't the stats so much as the consistent yards that kept drives going. MM seemed much more willing to run the ball. This is hopefully going to improve them in the same way.

trent richardson also ran behind the same line and turned out jsut fine.

imo a notch below tr and an instant 1000+ yard rusher

Me too... absolutely hate this pick.

Horrible, horrible pick.

This guy is a led-footed piece of shit.

This is saying a lot, b/c Ted has drafted some real turds - but this is Ted's worst draft pick ever.

I remember when everyone said Brohm was his best pick ever.

Yes the oline is still somewhat of a mess, but a good running back makes a difference as well.

still plenty of guys available that can improve the o-line

[woodbuck27]

I'm surprized that some fellas are sliding.ie Damontre Moore (Head? or heart?) and **Keenan Allen (injury) and DT Jesse Williams (injury?).

How about Tackles Terron Armstead, Dallas Thomas, Oday Obushi and Reid Fragel??

** other WR's >>> Quinton Patton, Markus Wheaton and Stedman Bailey are sitting there still.

I don't know how Lacy will pan out but you need to recalibrate your numbers and expectations. The Packers ran for 9 TDs last year. He is going to get that number plus he might steal a couple of Rodgers TD passes (that could be a wash with play action).

And Denver and Washington somehow will run the ball in zone schemes with Montee Ball in Mile High 3Com Fieldhouse and the Redskins with a 6th round pick and do OK. McCarthy has incorporated some power schemes with Lang and the results haven't been dramatic.

They had 433 attempts total so 12 carries a game looks low. He is an improvement.

[Bretsky]

Schwenke would be a great pick in round three; I think he'll get picked before us....but I'd love to see him in GB.

SF is pretty DAM SCARY in how they are building this team. They fleeced Tennessee on an earlier trade to get an extra 3rd next year before picking on TT

damn, there goes armstead

do not understand all this negativity towards lacy. just wait until he is racking up 100 yard games

Harris averaged 4.6 ypc.
