Official Day 3 2014 NFL Draft

[pbmax]

Did not know he had return skills, I do like that about him.

Yep. Not a blazer, but good hands and makes decent yardage with good vision.

[Carolina_Packer]

Abbrederis=Steady Eddie, Wes Welker type.

I think if he sticks this year as a 5th or 6th WR, he will be a returner, which is good because then he can do it instead of Cobb.

[Brandon494]

Was not a fan on how he catches the ball but looking at his stats as a punt and kick returner this pick makes a lot of sense. Someone just get this kid in the weight room though, only 4 reps? Also have some concerns about his concussion history in todays NFL.

[pbmax]

Well, his arms and shoulders don't look like they are going to get more defined. Maybe its his chest.

[Brandon494]

Its his chest for sure....its a bench press. When was the last time you went to a gym?

So far and in Review and the Green Bay Packers:

** Pick # 21 Rd. 1 ... Hasean Clinton-Dix | FS, Alabama

This is a great pick. They needed range in the secondary and they now have it. Love it.

***GRADE A ***


** Pick #53 Rd. 2 ... Davante Adams | WR, Fresno State

I like the pick of Adams for a team that lost James Jones. He will be a perfect fit for their offense.

*GRADE B*


** Pick #85 Rd. 3 ... Khyri Thornton | DT, Southern Mississippi

The Packers had to get more help on the line with age and B.J. Raji's contract situation. Thornton will fit in with his wide body.

*GRADE B*


** Pick #98 Rd. 3 "Compensatory Pick" ... Richard Rodgers | TE, California

The Packers needed to get help at tight end, so they take one who can get down the field. He's a former receiver, which is the type of tight end they like.

*GRADE B*


** Pick #121 Rd. 4 ... Carl Bradford | OLB, Arizona State

Bradford brings instincts, fundamentals and a tough demeanor to a Packers' defense that needed to bolster its group of linebackers. He lacks ideal length, but is a good athlete and offers the versatility to rush off the edge, or rotate inside and be a productive tackler with his toughness and instincts against the run.

**GRADE B+**


** Pick #161 Rd. 5 ... Corey Linsley | C, Ohio State

Linsley is a sound technician with nice short-area quickness and good awareness, who lacks size and power on contact. Little, if any, upside, but has starter potential at center, considering his smarts and technique.

GRADE C+

finally it's happened....TT has selected a prospect from the University of Wisconsin .....A Badger is aiming for a Roster spot.


** Pick # 176 Rd. 5 ... Jared Abbrederis | WR, Wisconsin.. A very solid Compensatory Pick..Great TT !

Abbrederis may be this year´s top route-runner, and plays with underrated physicality off the line of scrimmage. Great hands, and a firey competitor.

***GRADE A *** Excellent ! 'Only' 3 "A's" handed out this round...the Bills and GIANTS received an "A" as well for their picks.

Overall so far TT and the Packers have 2 X A ; 1 X B+; 3 X B and 1 X C+

A = 9.5
B+ = 8.75
B = 8.5
C+ = 7.75

Avg. = 19 + 8.75 + 25.5 + 7.75 = 8.71 = B+ Overall.


************************************************** *****************


Two more Picks to come ( Picks Rd. 6 Pick NO. 197 and Rd. 7 Pick NO. 236... and the 2014 Green Bay Packers 2014 NFL Draft will be in the history book.

************************************************** ******************

[Brandon494]

Please TT....select CB Rashaad Reynolds with our next pick.

[wpony]

I like the Jared Abbrederis pick like I was saying in the other thread he never gives up and loves the game but dont understand the center pick when there was much better and bigger smarter centers left but oh well I still love the darft just TT is so confusing again LOL

[Brandon494]

I thought he was the best center left...I'm just surprised we took a center.

Jared Abbrederis ( Last name is pronounced "ab-bruh-DAIR-is) is the first Wisconsin player selected by the Packers in the NFL draft since 2001, when the team took guard Bill Ferrario in the fourth round.

Did not know he had return skills, I do like that about him.

Comment woodbuck27: That's all very good. Great job Ted Thompson. A fantastic pick.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Man, I thought Brandon Dixon might be a guy we'd be interested in.

[Brandon494]

Come on Raashad Reynolds!!!

[HarveyWallbangers]

I want Reynolds and Carrie.

pick 197

demetri goodson cb baylor

[Brandon494]

First pick I hate.....25 year old rookie with durability concerns. Hes a raw player who started his career playing basketball at Gonzaga for 3 years before moving to football.
