    Ha Ha Clinton-Dix will wear No. 21.
    So the Pack is not planning on retiring 21?
    packers only have 5 retired numbers, maybe one day it will be 6

    3
    14
    15
    66
    92

    can't retire every number worn by our great players, we'd have no numbers left to use

      • So Ha Ha tweeted a picture this afternoon with what appears to be a marijuana cigarette in the backround. I wonder how many people caught that before the draft.

        • Love the highlights against Bowling Green and East Yennesse State
          But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

            Jimmie Ward
            School: Northern Illinois
            Position: S
            Positive: Three-year starter who led Northern Illinois in tackles the past two seasons. Lined up at multiple positions in the secondary and also blocked three punts as a freshman. Smart, instinctive defensive back who plays a physical brand of football. Breaks down well, anticipates the action, and constantly around plays. Quick up the field, voluntarily defends the run, and shows a closing burst. Does a terrific job reading receivers eyes then getting his head back around to defend the deep throw. Displays terrific hands for interceptions. Keeps the action in front of him, does not make mental errors, and shows a good feel for the game. Effectively times pass defenses and shows ability in zone or man coverage.

            Negative: Deep speed may be a concern. Not a strong open field tackler. Average size for the next level.

            Analysis: Ward was a consistent defender for Northern Illinois, making plays defending the run, covering the pass, as well as standing out on special teams. He's not a prospect who meets the eyeball test rather a very good football player who should have a long career at the next level.
            I can't run no more
            With that lawless crowd
            While the killers in high places
            Say their prayers out loud
            But they've summoned, they've summoned up
            A thundercloud
            They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

                And NOW Jimmy Ward is gone as well
                TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                • so trading out of the first would have also been a big mistake

                    Well, that would explain the red eyes. Ha ha!

                      I am so glad we didn't reach for Ward if the S had gone earlier.

                          Seriously, don't know what these GM's are looking at - other than size/speed ratio...

                          Size/Speed ratio does not a football player make.

                          Benjamin can't run routes to save his life... which, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that something a WR in the NFL has to do??

                          And Bucannon - my God, did you see that guys combine workout?? My hips are more fluid than his, and I have one artificial hip, and the other one is severely arthritic and needs to be replaced!!!!

                          Those are 2 terrible picks in the 1st round... Maybe Benjamin will develop over time, but you draft guys like that in the 3rd/4th round, not the 1st.

                          And Bucannon?? If I'm an opposing Offensive Coordinator?? I'm looking to match him up in coverage and put double moves on him all day...

                          • http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/...B/Bradley-Roby

                            Bradley Roby
                            School: Ohio State
                            Position: CB
                            Positive: Three-year starter coming off a disappointing season. Posted 69 tackles, 3 INTs, and broke up 13 passes in 2013 after 17 pass defenses as a junior. Talented cornerback who shuts down opponents when on his game. Displays a feel for coverage, terrific instincts and fights hard to break up passes. Fluid backpedaling, smooth flipping his hips, and easily runs downfield with opponents. Athletic, nimble, and shows a burst to the ball out of his plant. Remains disciplined with assignments and recognizes pass routes in zone coverage. Has a burst of speed which he turns on in a single step. Fast up the field defending running plays or screen passes, and sells out on the blitz. Terrific special teams player who's blocked punts in the past.

                            Negative: Struggled in all areas during the 2013 season. Consistently got caught out of position, blew assignments, and gave up big plays.

                            Analysis: After two tremendous seasons at Ohio State, Roby looked pedestrian last season and as a result his draft stock took a big hit. Potentially the first cornerback selected had he entered the 2013 draft, Roby now grades as a late first, early second-round pick but has all the tools necessary to start in the NFL if he gets his game back on track.

                              • I'm happy with the way it shook out. It is too bad we didn't have more options as I think CJ Mosley is a special, special player.

                                I would love to give up a 4th if possible to move up and get Stephen Tuitt or Van Noy. I want a second special player!
