    Yeah, I really liked what I saw, too. Just because we signed Cook, and he MIGHT be good for the Packers, doesn't mean the team should not go after a guy like Higbee to build for the future, or some other TE that they have graded just as highly. Free agency is for the now, the draft is hopefully for the now, but on stronger teams, it is more for the future.

      Still wouldnt mind seeing Ted draft a project TE in the 4th rd or later too. That Higbee guy maybe? Have a guy ready after Cook leaves.
      Evidently the 2017 draft class will be light-years better than this one so perhaps signing Cook will allow us to concentrate on other areas of need and go for a TE next spring?

        That "project TE" guy will be TANNER MCEVOY but he'll be drafted in the 6th or 7th round, not the 4th. [TT is reading my posts here.]
        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.

          Seeing that Tanner never played TE in Madison I have a feeling he won't be drafted but some team will bring him in as an UDFA.

            The Packers' interest in Cook dates to last season. They made an attempt to trade for him at the deadline last year but couldn't get a deal done with the St. Louis Rams, who finally cut him after the season.

              That must be wrong. We all know that TT doesn't trade for players during the season.

              It makes me chuckle to think of all the things people post here. The reality is we don't know 5% of what actually happens at Lombardi Ave.
              But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

                I disagree. He's got uncommon size and athletic ability. He's played receiver and QB. He's tough, smart, versatile. Somebody will draft him based on potential. It's been done before.

                  You think we know THAT much? I'd guess we know less than 1%.

                    If the Packers really did pursue a trade for Cook last year, they must really like him. By a trade, he would have come to them with a very expensive contract.

                      I'm no Badger Homer, but I'd like to see him get picked up. Ted likes them smart, tough and with a passion for the game. I'm afraid Belicheat will get him before us.

                        So Ted got him at a cheaper price. I'd love to play poker with the guy, just to learn.

                          I don't see Tanner as a TE in the NFL. He has the wrong body type. I would guess he gets invited to a camp as a WR.

                            I always thought the Badgers shoulda made him a TE. He's not really fast enough for WR. I bet he ends up being a decent TE in the NFL - maybe a lot like Owen Daniels. I wouldn't mind the Packers getting him with a fairly low round pick.
                            What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

                              Maybe. Either way he'd be a deadly red zone weapon IMO.

                                Are there TE drills at the Combine/Pro Days? Because each time I read about him, he's doing safety and WR drills.

                                He is very lean for a TE.
                                Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
