How many more draft picks will the #Packers get? They'll find out next week.

Someone at philly.com is guessing a 3rd (Jennings) and a 6th (Walden).

The guy (Craig Turner) guessing has a history of some success, but its not clear if he was the guy who invented this guesswork.

Can you get away with being both small and slow in the NFL? You put Ward's brain in Sean Richardson's body and you've got a hall of famer.

slow?

Sports On Earth, 3 man Mock Draft.

Packers get a WR, a CB and a Safety. Doesn't really break the Packers way. Mosley, Prior and Ebron gone.

heres a couple of game films of terrence brooks from this season, since joe and a couple others have brought him up lately

again, he does make some really nice plays, but to me, it looks like he doesn't "finish plays" all the time

he's #31 if the little boxes don't work for you

[Zool]

He hits around the shoulders like everyone else in the GB secondary. Played lower in the Pitt game.

[mraynrand]

Brooks: plays deep, good range, pretty decent tackler, decent recognition. Better than Peprah.

J. Football had a fantastic pro day. hope jerry jones loses his head and drafts him. that'll help us out as they're projected to draft a safety in some mocks.

I'm kinda rooting for the kid just so a bunch of pundits can eat some crow. There have been precious few great QB quotes since Ken Stabler said he studied the playbook by the light of the jukebox.

alright, you guys want jommy ward, you got him

this is the 2013 orange bowl against ej manual and florida state (last year,not this year)

some things you'll notice

1. he looks pretty small
2. he lines up all over the place (safety and CB) but plays a lot up near the line
3. he doesn't miss tackles
4. he makes just about every single play in the game.

An impressive football player.

He looks small but plays courageously. He sneaks into position fast.

He tackles effectively and in this game he's a tackling machine. He had a great day.

heres an interesting prospect

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/nfl-draft--canadian-college-offensive-tackle-could-be-picked-on-second-day-203607891.html

LT- Laurent (larry) Duvernay-Tardif

a dominate force up there north of the boarder

could be our midround LT-G-C prospect for this year

Here you go, all around knowledgeable ex-NFL player (and former Packer) Matt Bowen answers the question: what exactly is available at safety in the draft?

Unfortunately, its just video.

In case you don't want to watch/listen, Bowen lists his top 5 safeties:
HaHa
C.Pryor
J.Ward
D.Bucannon
T.Brooks

Seems about right to me. I think they'll all be gone within top 80 picks.

[smuggler]

Yeah. That's the order they're going off the board. Brooks might jump Bucannon because of his 40 time. Maybe one of those guys is available with our comp pick in the third round. Maybe, but probably not.
