Last report was multiple torn ligaments., ACL and LCL, but the feared nerve damage did not occur. There was some thought that he might stay at ND for another year, but I see he did declare for the draft.Last edited by Patler; 01-28-2016, 11:31 PM. -
Ted Thompson in his glory.
He may not be a perfect GM, but he knows how to scout the kids.
I wonder if he drives a rusted white van to the field."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Just some guys I think the Packers might be interested at various points in the 1st 3 rounds.Originally posted by Pugger View PostI can't run no more with that lawless crowd

Seems that the defensive line is the show case at the Senior Bowl practice. CJ Reader from Clemson had a big day to go along with Rankins from Louisville, and Vernon Butler from Louisiana Tech.

If anyone saw Ask Vic today on Packers.com, there was a guy who posted an interesting way to "beat the system" if you are always drafting near the end of each round, like the Packers have been. Here is his question and Vic's response.
If you were a GM, would you ever consider trying to do this? I wish they had started that in 2007 before they chose Justin Harrell! Ah, a crystal ball would be nice.Poster said: Here’s how to beat the draft. One year, trade your one for a one next year. Next year you have two ones. Take a player with the higher pick, and trade the lower pick for another one the following year. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Vic replied: It’s easier said than done, but it’s the kind of creativity necessary to beat the system. If you don’t like what’s available to you with your pick and you can trade it for a higher pick the following season, I’m all for doing it because, in my opinion, the draft is all about value and the future. Take care of the future and the future will take care of the present.

Carson Wentz
Not surprising, but always fun to read. He said his favorite QB growing up was Brett Favre, but he also said he kind of rooted for the Vikings because they were the closest team. That's the biggest negative on him.Q: Is there a quarterback you look up to or try to model your game after?
A: Aaron Rodgers is extremely fun. I love watching him and Tom Brady because of the way they control the offense. They have the unique ability to put the ball wherever they want. They extend and make plays outside the given play. Those are guys I learn form. In Bismarck it's kind of 50/50 for Packers to Vikings fans with a lot of Steelers and Broncos fans mixed in.

PFT: list of scout picks at top of each position.
Also voted as top performers at their respective positions were Carson Wentz of North Dakota State, top quarterback; Kenneth Dixon of Louisiana Tech, top running back; Sterling Shepard of Oklahoma, top wide receiver; Jason Spriggs of Indiana, top offensive lineman; Noah Spence of Eastern Kentucky, top defensive lineman; Reggie Ragland of Alabama, top linebacker; Harlan Miller of Southeast Louisiana, top defensive back; and Jeff Overbaugh of San Diego State, top specialist.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Brownies are hot for Wentz - his numbers top their analytics - apparently."Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - WoodbuckComment

This sounds like a nice little formula, but there are three problems, the second bigger than the first and third:
One, you have to be willing, that first year, to give up a number one pick. In the win-today world of the NFL, that's tough to do. Plus, what if you do see a guy you really like in that late-round spot? Do you pass just because you're trying to set up the future?
Secondly, this formula assumes that every single year you're going to find a trading partner who will want your pick and will be willing to give you their next year's number one pick.
Third, this formula also assumes that the team you've traded your late-round pick to, in exchange for their next year's number one, will suck the following year, so you'll have a good pick.
Sounds cool and all, but wouldn't work in reality. Though I do wish, and did at the time, that the Pack would've traded that #16 overall to Cleveland for their #23 overall plus next year's number one. That might've set off a fun chain of events that might've led to another SB.
Although it might've set off a different chain of events that would've resulted in their never getting to the heights they did. You never know."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I'd love to see the Packers draft RB Kenneth Dixon and WR Sterling Shephard. However, if they shine at the Senior Bowl, we probably won't have a chance at them. The cream rises quickly to the top after these bowl games and the Combine.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. 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.

You mean the media catches up to what the teams already know?No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.Comment
