Anthony would be great. Not a fan of Darby for the Packers though. He's a finesse corner who's shy to tackle on a team that already has one of those (Shields and Tramon are more willing tacklers than Darby) in a division/conference where that can pose problems. (Detroit, Minnesota, Seattle, etc., etc.) I'd shudder to see Darby trying to get Peterson to the ground. You can maybe get away with one of those guys but two is a bit of a problem I think.

Packers don't really have a Zone Read RB or offense, but I suppose they could run it at some point. Could be a good CB, but seems like a FA, PS kinda guy.Originally posted by Maxie the Taxi View PostNo, probably a 5th rnd though, not so much as a CB, but I think the guy is a great QB. I've seen him play many times. Guy would be a value pick at 5. Coach has called him the best zone read QB in the country. Got a great arm and is fast. Better than anything we've got after Rodgers."Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - Woodbuck

Probably. But you never know how things will sort out.Originally posted by Patler View PostIsn't it just about a lock for the 4th round?
(My list wasn't intended to be rounds of the draft, just order of need.)Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

I'm no film jockey but I'd say Johnson is far more willing to mix it up, and as he continues to mature he could add some size to his thin frame. I think he'd be a good pick though not sure how ready he'll be out of the shoot. Like Shields, he may need a year to ramp up. A year to mature and put some meat on his bones would do him a ton of good. Unlike a couple of the raw guys this year though, he looks pretty natural to me. He can turn and make a play on the ball like Shields too. Most of these guys I'd like a lot better on Day 2 than Day 1.Originally posted by smuggler View PostHow do you regard the tackling of Wake Forest's Kevin Johnson, vince?

I just read an article that said McCarthy wants to run the pistol offense more this year. Marshall could do that way better than Rodgers, especially in the end zone. Besides, Marshall doesn't need to run the zone read to be effective. Guy has a strong arm...don't know what his Wonderlic is though.

He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Man, I've watched tape of Darby and I just don't see the shyness to tackle. He seems very aggressive to me and doesn't hesitate to mix it up. Maybe I'm missing something.Originally posted by vince View PostAnthony would be great. Not a fan of Darby for the Packers though.

Had some character issues, but might be worth a shot in the 4th round. About the same height and weight that Finley was when drafted. Looked pretty effortless when running that 4.6.Originally posted by Maxie the Taxi View PostI really like Darren Waller for a playmaking TE. Guy is 6'6" 238 lbs and runs the 40 in 4.46.

IN MY BOOK DL is clearly a need
We get our 3rd round reach back this year but he looked like Sherrod...aka...junk while he was playing last year.
We need to restock a player or two there and it would not surprise me at all if we grab one high
For me you have to add DL in one of those slots and I would not be surprised if we drafted two of themTERD 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

My report is based on what I've seen from a full 10 minutes of "best of" youtube highlights and projecting his play at the NFL level so don't be so quick to second-guess yourself Maxie. I'm seeing a track guy who can get by at the college level on the football field but I'd be concerned will be overpowered at the NFL level, but that don't make me right.Originally posted by Maxie the Taxi View PostMan, I've watched tape of Darby and I just don't see the shyness to tackle.

I want a guy who can hang with the big dogs in the league like Calvin Johnson, Dez Bryant, Julio Jones, etc. - not another speed demon who those guys can push aside at the line or climb up over the top of if they need, and who's a liability coming up against the run at the NFL level. We already got one of those guys on the other side...
Is it too much to ask for an Al Harris or Richard Sherman kind of guy? Sherman lasted til the 5th round and Harris til the 6th... Those guys are legends but their physicality, length and cover capabilities can't be THAT rare can they?
