Whaaaaaaaaat !
You've got to be kidding me !
This skinflint...has a 4.9 Grade and right now TT is the laughing stock of the NFL.
Isn't there anyone in the Packers War Room that can wrestle Ted Thompson to the floor?
Analysis
Strengths Quality return man specializing in kick*offs with two touchdowns under his belt while at Cal. Former high school long jumper and sprinter with build*up speed to challenge deep safeties from the hash. Competitive runner after the catch with ability to make defenders miss and finish his runs with some authority. Hands are adequate.
Weaknesses Track speed doesn't translate underneath. Needs runway to get going and can't hit jets out of his breaks for separation. Needs to improve hard vertical push to clear space for comebacks and outs. One*-speed, rounded routes need work.
Struggles to release cleanly against quality press coverage.
Draft Projection Rounds 6 or 7
Sources Tell Us "He's a pretty good returner. I don't see him being drafted, but he could make a team as a return man and last receiver on the depth chart." -- NFC West scout
Bottom Line Wiry catch-*and-*run specialist whose NFL value rests in his return ability. Davis could be a difficult sell because he's not an NFL*-ready receiver, but a big combine could create late-round interest or elevate his stock as a priority free agent.

Lowry and Davis were both late risers. Davis was ranked about 25 spots below his teammate Kenny Lawler, but had moved ahead of Lawler in many boards by draft time (including being in McGinn's top 20 WRs; Lawler was not listed). That's what being 6'1" and testing incredibly well will do for you. Plus, he's a return man. Only Josh Doctson tested as a better overall athlete than Davis at the combine among WRs.
One common theme of the Packers draft is that most of these guys quietly tested well at the combine.
Clark was the second best athlete among 3-4 NT types (behind Vernon Butler, same as Billings, and ahead of the likes of Jarran Reed, A'Shawn Robinson, Austin Johnson, Hassan Ridgeway)
Spriggs was the most athletic OL in the draft.
Fackrell tested around the top 1/3 of OLBs.
Martinez tested in the top 1/2 of ILBs.
Lowry was the second best athlete among 3-4 DEs (behind Bronson Faufusi and ahead of the likes of DeForest Buckner, Jihad Ward, Chris Jones, etc.)
Davis was the second best athlete among WRs (behind Josh Doctson).
Martinez is probably the most average athlete of the bunch, when you look at their testing numbers."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

I actually liked Davis a bit. I had him ranked in my top 20 WRs. Incredible athlete, but I would have picked Adams there. I wonder why Adams has dropped all the way to the 6th round. Must be something going on there.Originally posted by Strange Brew View Post"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

Some other quotes
Davis is a transfer from Hawaii who brings upside with big-play potential. He has the top-end speed to stretch the field vertically thanks to his athleticism and long, lean frame. Davis needs to continue to get stronger and add polish as a route runner. He has quality ball skills and adequate body control to make the tough catch outside the frame. He has a chance to add depth as a No. 4 or No. 5 receiver who will likely need to contribute as a returner on special teams to make it at the next level.A three-year starter, Lowry has quality measureables but shorter arms for his size. He is at his best as a run defender, but has underrated athleticism to work with as a pass-rusher. He will fit well as a 5-technique within Green Bay's base 3-4 scheme.Martinez is an instinctive player with good recognition and ball-reaction skills. He has adequate range and shows very good body control and balance as a tackler. Martinez also has a great feel in coverage in terms of getting into throwing lanes and making plays on the ball. He has a chance to add depth to a linebacker corps and make an immediate impact on special teams."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

Seems that way. The consensus on Davis before the combine was that he wasn't ready for the NFL, but afterwards that he had played himself there on to the draft board. I am little concerned about the head injury he got as a KR last year.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers View PostTeamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.

I don't think TT was in the market for a TE, frankly. That's all I can think of.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers View Post
Davis is a great pick. I see what you mean now. I mostly rely on NFL.com and some of these guys TT took eclipsed the guys NFL.com had rated higher earlier.
I still hope they draft the punter.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.
