Isn't the goal to win? And if the goal is to win, how long do we wait? 2 years? 3 years? 4 years?

Thus far, everyone we've drafted has a reasonable chance of getting significant playing time this year. What exactly are you looking for? We were 8-8 last year. We don't get to draft Calvin Johnson.

Who is getting significant playing time? Maybe Johnson. I would be surprised if Harrell cracks the starting line.

So you think we drafted Jackson in the 2nd to sit behind Herron and Pope?

Heron is proven so I don't see him getting the nod over him. Over Pope and Beach, yes. I see him getting playing time as whenever we have 3 healthy backs, they all play.

You have had too many. Herron will barely make the team.

We run a rotation at DT. Everybody who's good enough to play gets significant downs. Having quality depth at DT results in all of the other tackles playing better as well. You don't have to start to matter.

Well i think (except maybe the bears) that the NFC North has had a pretty good draft. Im still in shock that Detroit actually made some smart moves. Minesota comes out with the best draft so far, they have gotten steals for all three people

If Jackson isn't better than Herron right now then it was a bad second round pick. Herron is a pedestrian NFL talent

Rover. I don't like Rovers and Tweeners unless they are rushing the passer.

I like Underwoord but he can't stay healthy

He played in all 16 games in 2006 and had an unfortunate injury in which he blew out two knee ligaments. Staying healthy isn't a problem with him.

I agree. Herron is junk IMO. He's the RB equivilant to Colin Cole.

I would be shocked if Harrell didn't get significant playing time (unless he's injured).

Who is he playing in front of? Most of our DL have experience and they aren't bad by any means. Jolly? I see him getting the nod over Harrell because he was injured last year and showed potential. Maybe as a sub for Picket now and then but significant? Who are we going to sit?

Herron won't make it out of camp.

Panthers may have added 4 starters today. Their draft is very, very good.

I think Harrell is an awesome talent. He should be playing most of the snaps. You're absolutely right though; if he's not, TT wasted a pick.

I'm shocked by Rouse...

In a good or bad way?

He's big and fast, and bigger and faster is better... however, I'm skeptical of this pick.

The Packers have historically preferred ballarina's at Safety... are they drafting him to be an OLB, or an in the box safety??? The Packers play their safties over the top, or match them up one on one in coverage much more often than they ask them to play in the box.

Weird pick for the Packers, IMO.

Agreed. I figured they'd trade down and add a 4th or 5th.
