THE draft thread (2013 version)

NFL.com on Franklin: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/profiles/johnathan-franklin?id=2539326
Excerpt: "Franklin had his best statistical year by far as a senior, and managed to clean up his fumbling issues. His speed, shifty hips, and one-cut ability will make him at least a nice NFL change-of-pace back."

What the hell? J.Franklin?
Does Thompson think Ross and Boykin are going to be the answer at WR? I get drafting OL, but draft a WR already!

Relax - America has 400 million FA's to choose from.

D Jones - Legit player - Fighter, athletic, long, nasty, impact player
E Lacey - Legit player - Hard runner, plays fast, he's a legit running back
Bakhtiari - Legit player (not man-boob project like Wist called him. Legit tough guy. Legit blocker. Nasty, consistent, well coached, ready to play)
Tretter - Project (Going to have to move to guard. Excellent athlete, high upside, project)
Franklin - Legit player. Runs well, blocks well, smart, hard working. . . . .

What did Packers give up in the trade?

[Bretsky]

what in the hell did we give up anyways ? Can we package the rest of our picks for two more fourths.....so we can end the day? lol...

Quinton Patton................taken by the San Francisco Forty Niners.........

Yeah, this draft is officially a complete disaster.

Maybe loosing McKenzie, Dorsey, Schneider, et al really is going to cause the Packer front office to implode??

This draft is straight out of the looney bin... maybe those guys kept Ted from hurting himself with sharp objects??

[Badgerinmaine]

That must be it.

I looked it up--yes, FCS 2d team All-American on multiple teams. Not bad for how late he was, though. http://cornellbigred.com/news/2012/1...210123651.aspx

The experts love Franklin. One expert said he was #2 RB on his board behind Lacy. Another said he was the reincarnacion of Warrick Dunn. Thunder and Lightning with Lacy/Franklin. RB position has been completely overhauled. Starks is done. Harris as the lone holdover (possibly Green, if he stays healthy). I like the pick.

[woodbuck27]

lol...

We already have Franklin on the roster, lol...

When you make donuts >>>do you just make one???

Per JSO - They traded away their fifth round, 146th overall pick and their sixth round, 173 overall pick.

We need to dig up some old draft threads.

Warick Dunn

[gbgary]

I'm guessing Starks is probably gone now.
