TT is at the Shrine game practices scoping out DBs:

Michael Schottey @Schottey 28m
Ted Thompson is here...alway see him at the Senior Bowl. Don't know if I've ever seen him here before. Positioned to was defensive backs

[smuggler]

Joyner is not only small, but he's a headhunter, exactly the kind of safety to avoid in the draft. The shit he does in college is illegal in the pros, so he'd not only have the disadvantage of being a midget, but also have to completely reinvent his style of play. No thanks.

Hopefully his next draft pick at Safety works out better than McMillian. Anyone know anything about the guys red listed?

according to one of my main sites for draft info, this doesn't look like its the cream of the crop

http://walterfootball.com/draft2014S.php

they have tre boston as the 5th best safety in the draft, hakeem smith as #13, alan darby as 15, sean parker at 19, and southward at 25

so, exactly the type of guys TT would draft in the later rounds to fill our biggest need

The kid from Wisconsin is listed as injured, so they'll probably take him.

Draft Position: 21

Dream Fit: Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama

" He has great vision ...and can read a quarterback's eyes to make a quick break on the ball. He has the speed to make up ground in the secondary .... a physical, sure tackler who can make plays at the line of scrimmage."

[woodbuck27]

Who's off the board first @ the QB position?

Texans’ Bill O’Brien just beginning to evaluate Johnny Manziel

Posted on January 15, 2014 at 6:45 PM ... By: Ultimate Texans in 2013 season, Houston Texans, NFL draft

Comment woodbuck27:

The Houston Texans scored the second fewest points in the NFL and the QB position is getting much of the blame.

Once upon a time franchise QB, Matt Schaub, had an interception returned for a touchdown in an NFL record four straight games.

Schaub's replacement, on and off, Case Keenum never won a game this past season. "

An amazing band.


It looks very likely that the Texans will be drafting @ QB with their No. 1 overall pick.

Which of leading candidates will they elect to make the NO. 1 overall pick?

I've noticed of ** the three present leading candidates for first QB off the board. That Johnny "Mr. Football" Manziel is getting a lot of attention and LOVE of late. Is Johnny Manziel moving forward to be the consensus overall NO.1 Draft pick?

He might blow any serious thought of that "to HELL in a New Your minute", with one of his little antics hitting TMZ.

** Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville and Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M and Blake Bortles, UCF.

Who goes off the board at QB first and to which team?

Houston needs a QB:

Newly hired Texan's HC Pete " Irish" O'Brian has only watched Johnny Manziel on the tube. From reports he hasn't begun his evaluation process of this years QB class more so Johnny Manziel to any degree of depth.

Will the Texans Head Coach and Company select a certainly dynamic but undersized QB who has risen so suddenly to the top of some early mock drafts?

I look to see if the St. Louis RAMS get any offers to trade down from the NO. 2 slot. Cleveland or Minny?

Minny? That move will be a costly one from the NO. 8 slot to No. 2.

How costly? Which Trade Value Chart are we @ Packerrats going to rely on in this 2014 draft?

Which one does Ted Thompson and Company use?

Cleveland is picking at No. 4 and has QB needs as "Weeden" may get "weeded" ... OUT.

Are the Cleveland Browns the AFC equivalent to the NFC Detroit Lions or ... is it possible ...worse ?!

Changes @ the HC position will fix it all. You simply have to believe if your a Browns or Lions fan.

At least " the growing pains again Cleveland Browns" are waiting ... waiting patiently for this seasons playoff picture to clear. They may smartly wait until after Super Bowl XLVIII to select their new Head coach.

Enjoy some "Red Hot Chili Peppers" .... Kick It !!

Back to football:

The Cleveland BROWNS waiting until after the Super Bowl to get their HC?

Is that a good idea? Who's starving to go there? Will he be the new Bill Belichick?

[denverYooper]

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

Keep it in FYI

[mraynrand]

Keep it in FYI

Ha Ha!

[pbmax]

Just remember this when going Ha-Ha over the draft. Usually people dislike Ted's drafts. The one universally loved my media and fans? 2012.

That is the draft people are now killing Thompson over since they believe that draft is killing the Packers.

I hope Ted trades out of the first and takes Greg Jennings II in the 2nd round.

FWIW, Draftek has the Packers taking a WR:

DraftTek @Drafttek 27m
#NFLdraft sim #Packers Picks:
1- WR Matthews
2- SS Bailey
3- LT Mewhort

I think they just use an algorithm to make picks, at least for a while.

For a minute I thought Mewhort was just an anagram for Newhouse trying to get another signing bonus.
