Both 4ths? Not impressed at all with these choices

[Maxie the Taxi]

Yes. A taller Joe Thomas -- which wouldn't be bad, but to use two 4th round picks on it is questionable to me. It's almost like they convinced themselves they had to move up into the 3rd round with all of their extra picks.

I wish they could have traded up a little further for Michael Gallup.

+1

I love hating the draft again. Gives me good vibes of Rodgers and Collins picks long past.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Remember though, the guys I'm high on usually stink and the guys I don't like usually rock -- except for Nick Collins. I was the first on his bandwagon. I will say that Burks testing numbers were off the charts. As good as Shaquem Griffin did at the combine, Burks was a better athlete at the combine. Best athletic numbers for any OLB at the combine--except for maybe Matthew Thomas. Watch his tape though. He is not a good tackler.

I was pissed the moment I realized that was Brad Justaguy Milliondollar Thanksted LB Jones out there.

Looks like Tarzan plays like Jane

Who Fleeced us on that deal ?

Move up 13 for two fourths is insanity

It was picks 101 and 147 they traded. Their 1st 4th and second 5th.

[pittstang5]

heard it was the 4th and a 5th. 101 & 147

FWIW, trade value chart has Packers ahead on the trade. They have 4 5th's tomorrow. I think they'll use a couple to move into the 4th.

[Bretsky]

After trading our 3rd for a 1st next year (which I liked), I really wish we hadn't gone CB-CB to start this draft. Too many needs. Would have liked to use a high pick on another position. The cupboard is starting to get bare. I would have felt better if we'd would have been able to trade up back into early round 3 territory, but any trade up from 4.1 isn't going to net us much position now.

holy crap was there value in round two at CB.

[smuggler]

Burks will be a core special teamer and his measureables give him upside, but he's a project and he's a little light. Maybe he can develop into our coverage LB.

They have a 4th round comp pick and three 5ths tomorrow.

Yup a 5th to go up 13 spots. Sounds like we may use him in sub packages and they like his coverage skills vs TEs

Okay, that's even better. Demovsky must have had bad information.

[beveaux1]

He’s fast, tested well, and can probably add a few pounds. He’s played multiple positions including the secondary. He’s Ryan’s competition. He had to be someone whose grade was much better than the alternatives left on their board. Trust the process.

Matthew Thomas was the only one that came close. Watch his tape though. He is not a good tackler.

Check out these numbers (at the Combine -- which makes them legit numbers)

6'3" 233, 4.59 40, 4.15 shuttle, 6.82 3-cone, 39 1/2" vertical, 10'11" broad jump

To put that in perspective, these were numbers from some other athletic ILBs.

Deion Jones = 6'1" 222, 4.49 40, 4.32 shuttle, 7.16 3-cone, 34" vertical, 10' broad jump
Eric Kendricks = 6'0" 232, 4.61 40, 4.14 shuttle, 7.14 3-cone, 38" vertical, 10'5" broad jump
Jordan Hicks = 6'1" 236, 4.68 40, 4.15 shuttle, 6.78 3-cone, 38" vertical, 10'4" broad jump
Ryan Shazier = 6'1" 237, 4.38 40 (Pro Day time), 4.21 shuttle, 6.91 3-cone, 42" vertical, 10'10" broad jump

So, he is a great athlete.
