Beefs with Ted Thompson draft choices.

When drafting always go for the bigger guy, that what most coaches do!

You'd end up with a team full of lineman.

I find it fascinating that people who don't normally visit the forum show up in droves when the Packers suffer a bad loss or two.

Not true. Why do the NFL have a combine because they are looking for big fast human beings. Scenario you have two high school QB's with the same arm strength, but one qb is 6.4 220 Lbs and the other qb is 5:11 205, which player do you think has a better chance of landing a major scholarship? The big qb

[Patler]

The talking heads on one of the pregame or post game shows earlier this season were discussing the subtle yet definite change among NFL teams to be re-emphasizing athleticism over sheer size on both lines.

Who would you take an athletic 5:8 cb or athletic 6;1 cb? Always take the bigger guy.

Do you really think TT would draft the smaller guy in your scenario? If it were that simple, they could hire you to do the job for a quarter of what they pay TT.

Here's a scenario, you have 1) a 6'2" DB that had a single INT (a pass the WR deflected) through college and ran a 4.6 40; 2) a 5'10" DB that led the nation in INTs and ran a 4.4 40. Who do think has a better chance of being drafted?

2010 NFL draft - safeties order selected:

Eric Berry - 6'0", 211#
Earl Thomas - 5'10", 202#
Nate Allen - 6'1", 210#
TJ Ward - 5'10", 200#
Taylor Mays - 6'3", 225#

Do you think the Chiefs, Seahawks, Eagles or Browns regret passing on the bigger guy, Taylor Mays?

Give me Mays over Earl Thomas every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

With the parity measures built into the NFL you've got to find value anywhere you can get it. In the draft that would mean spending your picks on players with attributes that are undervalued by the rest of the league. You're advocating the opposite.

The fact that the Packer's don't offer scholarships probably explains the lack of blue chip prospects in Green Bay.

It could help in the cheerleading department

I think some of you guys are missing the point. I knew when I started this discussion it would up in the toilet. I'm through....

That's what your mom said.
