So you get starters without a draft pick, after the draft as rookies, and that credit does not accrue to the scouting department and GM?

OK, I concede on Tramon. He went somewhere else first (Jags) and Packers snatched him up. But you have to count a UDFA who starts as a rookie for the team that signed him as a GM/scouting win.

Jimmie Ward. Spot on. When was he taken? Randall seems like a Jimmie Ward that can actually cover.

whoops sorry cap locks

Excerpts from the conference call:

Randall: I have a background of both, i can play corner or safety. Whatever the coaching staff feels I can play to help the team. It was mixed. 12 teams talked straight corner and eight maybe safety. It was their choice.

Randall: I can play both. Corner is fun to be on an island. Safety controlling the back end can be fun, too.

Randall: Every when I was at safety we played a lot of zero coverage because we blitz so much.

Randall: I was coming in as a corner, but we sat down and they said we need you at safety. We do not have a safety and asked me to play that role.

That's a coaching staff win. They get the credit for fixing what every team in the league saw as too many flaws to draft.

wha?

[pbmax]

He's 5' 11(7/8)" according to Scout.com. That's taller than Tramon and he goes 196, so that's heavier too.

Scout.com has him at 5' 11", but Combine numbers say 5' 10" and 7/8.

OK, but the scouting department had to get the guy in the door, didn't they? UDFA is just a free market draft.

[wpony]

LOL Oh ok duhwhat do you think we really need next I would love to get perryman no matter if we had to move up to get him we we his mean streak hardd hitting and sacks

[smuggler]

Packer Report @PackerReport 23m23 minutes ago
Randall said more teams liked him at corner than safety (about 12 to 8 by his recollection)

Actually heard someone mention on a radio show I was listening to today comparing Rabdall to Ward. I didn't see this coming - packers taking him

Geezeopete. The Packers are a team, dammit. It's everyone working together, everyone playing their assigned role to perfection to create a sum that is greater than it's parts. Except Bostick.
