  • Who is the Packers' "Sleeper" Pick?

    The National Football Post is doing a series of articles, by divisions, to identify the "sleeper" pick on each team. Their definition is the third day draft choice having the biggest impact, so we are looking at rounds 4-7. They have not yet gotten to the NFC North, but I suspect it is their next article since they have done AFC East, NFC East and now AFC North.

    So, who will the Packers "sleeper" be? Martinez seems to be the logical choice, since he is a decently ranked player playing the position and having the skills corresponding to a significant team need.

    Keep in mind they aren't looking at impact this year, but looking back at the draft years later.

    Any support for Lowry, Davis or Murphy looking at it 5 years from now?

    I perceive that people have really high expectations for Blake Martinez. He is mentioned as much as any rookie on the radio. Probably because it's a position of need. Everyone says he quite articulate and a great interview, too, so I think that adds a bit to it.

      I would be expecting one of the Stanford guys to make an impact sooner or later.

        I hope it's Martinez but I think it will be Davis.

            Davis and before camp is over he needs a moniker. His name is too generic. Maybe we call him TD?

              Certainly not! Too many flashbacks of Terrell (TD) Davis running wild over a winded GB defense in Super Bowl XXXII.

                Short term it will be Martinez simply because he will probably be on the field more than the others. He plays a position of need, and could start as a rookie. Davis may be no more than the #6 WR this year.

                    Murphy and Lowry seem like good depth players long-term. High floor, low ceiling.

                    I'll take Martinez over Davis.

                      Damn you're right. Back to the drawing board.

                        One of the undrafted free agents.

                          Not a bad pick, but it doesn't count unless you give us a name!
