Official Day 2 (Rounds 2 and 3) of the 2015 NFL Draft Thread

[smuggler]

PJ williams is a shitter, though. Rollins might actually have some class.

Matthews is starting in base and maybe nickel. I have been telling you all this for a month.

if thats the plan then ok, but someone needs to tell clay that, and then tell him to shut up about wanting to move back to OLB

we still need a decent backup

[wist43]

Either Ted sees something in our ILB's that we don't see, or he just didn't think the ILB's this year were good...or he did a horrid job anticipating how this draft would go down as the ILB run hit in round 2

Ted, Dom, and the Packers as an organization view the game as almost strictly a passing game... stopping the run is incidental and an afterthought.

Unfortunately, it seems that with his completely ignoring ILB early in the draft, that we are in for a full reversion back to playing nickel as our base - as we did from 2011-2013 when we fielded some of the worst defenses in league history (2011), and had to endure embarrassing beatdowns in the playoffs.

We're stuck with dunderdummy... and Ted likes that passive style of play too I guess - so as frustrating as it is to watch, that's the way our team has been built, is built, and will continue to be built.

I bet the plan is to let the current ILBs work on their position. But if they fail, he moves back inside. He might be next for the Brett Favre made at the GM segment.

Although, Bob could be on the right track that the Packers (perhaps the coaches themselves) really like Bradford inside.

then what has changed? like i said earlier today, they did not think he was an ILB last year when they drafted him, and they didn't move him there during the season when the two starters (hawk and jones) clearly should not have been on the field. we had a shit ton of talent in front of him at OLB, and next to nothing at ILB, yet the braintrust didn't want him as an ILB, for whatever reason

That would be a wow... b/c that guy looked like he should be bartending last year - regardless of where they might try him, he did not look like an NFL football player at all!!

TT will draft a thumper later....Maybe Jeff Luc or Taiwan Jones.

You can't get too many corners. All these raw type of inexperienced guys seem like a huge vote of confidence in Whitt. This is going to be one ball hawking secondary.

I'm ready for some LB talent. We didn't need 1st or 2nd rounders to replace the shit we had but we're now in the meat of this draft. Lets get someone mean. The defense always looks like the MLB.

[Teamcheez1]

I'm expecting a QB as our next pick.....

[run pMc]

Very late to the party. So it sounds like people like Ted's R2 pick better than his R1 pick?
The Matt Bowen story is a nice fluff piece, hard to tell from the video if that's actually how Rollins plays. Looks like a decent tackler, and along with Goodson might be a good contributor on ST.
Our secondary can probably beat any other teams' on the basketball court. It's a lot of bodies to throw at CB, but with losing both House and Tramon and Bush unsigned, I guess it makes sense.

Would have liked to have seen TT take Anthony in R1 though.

From what I heard the ILB crop is not that good, but I think TT will pick one up either mid-to-late or via UDFA.

[sharpe1027]

Calm down. No need to draft an ILB in the first two rounds if the talent sucks. We had one if the highest picked ILB in recent history with Hawk. Nuff said.

Well, they're going to have to intercept it, b/c they sure as shitfuck aint gonna be able to tackle anyone... Rollins can tackle, but Randall needs to have a cell phone on him to call for help.

I think we're going to revert back to a lot of nickel as our base... maybe Richardson will be deployed as a rover of sorts. We'll be small as fuck upfront and on the second level, but Dom never thinks the opponent will run the ball anyway.

Last year's encouraging signs of actually trying to play some tough football seem to be out the window, and we're back to flag football.

It's very discouraging.

On a positive note, neither of the first two DB's are named Ahmad Carroll.

Ted and the Scouts get the first shot to place the players. There is some evidence the O Line might be different. So they thought Bradford could provide pass rush, but it didn't pan out.

So he switches to ILB with a week or two of camp to go. He is switching positions from college AND from the rest of the offseason. He wasn't going to be able to do it that fast.

With a whole offseason, its more feasible.

I don't KNOW that is happening, but Bob did report that someone in the Packers like him inside. We won't know until camp and preseason.

Randall will fit right in then.

Small up front? Compared to what?!
