For the Packers to take Ridley 14th, he'd have to be better than Jennings. He's need to be Marvin Harrison.

Why I try not not post from a tablet. It comes out dumber than I normally am.

Now that I think about it, wasn’t that a knock on GJ coming out?

Possibly. I don't remember. Also frequently a complaint about college WR is their release against press man coverage.

But as a pro, if not a young player or college guy, his routes were so good and his breaks so quick he separated like no one's business.

So its possible Ridley is like young Jennings, and it would be great if he would improve like Jennings.

Were in a position now of such need and a real addition on 'D'.

The Packers will in all sense pick 'D' at NO. 14.

Our situation at CB is really bad.

one thing that no one is really talking about as far as WR's are concerned is monty

i gotta imagine he's moving back to full time WR this season

gotta thank TT and fat mike for retarding his growth at WR. before the move to RB, monty looked like he could take over the cobb role in the offense

[red]

If they take a WR in R1 it will be because they traded to get a 2nd pick at the bottom of the round. People seem to like the Moore kid from Maryland...

when a lot of people start to really like a guy, that means he's gonna get drafted higher. i've seen a few drafts that have him going around our pick at #14

[HarveyWallbangers]

Moore and Chark tested better than they played. I'm not sure either put enough on film to move into round 1, but I guess it only takes one team enamored with the measurables. I'd be shocked if Moore went anywhere near pick #14 personally. I think two underrated WRs are Michael Gallup and Tre'Quan Smith. Gallup in round 2-3. Smith in round 3-4. Those two are football players. Smith reminds me a bit of Davante Adams. Pretty comparable measurables too.

Adams = 6'1" 212, 4.56 40, 4.30 shuttle, 6.83 3 cone, 39 1/2" vertical, 123" broad jump
Smith = 6'2" 210, 4.49 40, 4.50 shuttle, 6.97 3 cone, 37 1/2" vertical, 130" broad jump
Gallup = 6'1" 205, 4.51 40, 4.37 shuttle, 6.95 3 cone, 36" vertical, 122" broad jump

I think both Smith and Gallup are a little underrated athletically.

Yup TT and MM sure place a real screwing on the Packers.

Too many won't admit that fact.

Yeah, it's not like the season-ending injuries had any effect. Still, in his full rb year, he had 56 targets in the passing game to 77 rushes. He had almost 6 yards/rush compared to around 8 yards/catch and 800 total yards from scrimmage. I suppose he missed out of some refinement in back shoulder throws or something, but I imagine he can catch up, given his ability to transition to a role coming out of the backfield so readily. I'm more concerned about his overall productivity. It seems like a guy with his combination of size and speed makes for more of a utility type receiver out of the backfield than say a deep downfield threat.

Well, don't you just draft someone for defense in the first round, or draft that awesome guard, and in the second round tell TT to pick a wide receiver for you? That seems to be his golden zone.

Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame. With McGlinchey at right tackle and the vastly underrated David Bakhtiari on the left side, the Packers will boast two quality pass-protectors for Aaron Rodgers.

All 3 of the mocks on that site have us taking guys I don't want... I like Hernandez, but he's not the kind of guy MM would take; and, I don't want him in the 1st.

Beginning to like Denzel Ward more and more...

Tons of mocks are having Ward go in the top 8. Wouldn't mind if they traded up to get him.

If Gute drafts a fat guy in round 1, I'm gonna puke.

Color me with those who subscribe to the notion that fat guys should be avoided like the plague in round 1. An offensive lineman by himself is not a difference maker. Even with a great LT, defenses can still pressure the QB simply by pressuring away from the LT. Fat defensive linemen are prone to eating themselves out of the league.

[SavedByGrace]

Good. Lord. Since we are not really doing much of anything in free agency, there is so much work that needs to be done in the draft. We also need some of our players to actually step up and produce (see Josh Jones). If not, our defense could be the new definition for "epic bad." Definitely would make sense to me to trade up to make sure we get that impact player or players we need (see Ward or James)
