Well, Blackmon doesn't really fill a need, and that is why I like this pick. This is Thompson's first pick of the draft that doesn't fit a need, not that their is anything wrong with that.

Packers go with versatility

With their second fourth-round choice, the 115th overall, the Packers selected Will Blackmon of Boston College. Blackmon has played both wide receiver and cornerback, and also returns kicks. Blackmon stands 6-foot-0 1/4 and weighs 198 pounds.

Blackmon played mostly wide receiver as a senior, but the Packers said they were projecting him as a cornerback.

Blackmon caught 51 passes for 763 yards, a 15.0 average, as a senior. He played corner in nickel and dime packages. Blackmon also returned 22 kickoffs for a 22.2 average and 15 punts for an 8.3 average. He returned one kickoff and one punt for touchdowns, both in his junior year. He also had eight interceptions from his freshman through his junior year, when he played cornerback.

lol cory rodgers is growing as the draft progresses. packers.com has him listed as 6'1" now. at this rate, by the time its over he will be the next harold carmichael

Blackmon - so a CB or a WR.

I'd be surprised they'd take another WR. That would be the 3rd, but I guess all these guys can compete for KR/PR, and maybe they want a few bodies to audition for the #4/5 WR spot.

Looks like Philly traded OT Artis Hicks for a 4th round swap....to Minnesota

Anyone know when our next pick is? ESPN says 148.

I think 148 is the correct number

We only have one pick in the 7th round. Ted better get busy.

[Fritz]

I wonder if Sherman is disappointed the Texans wouldn't trade up to get him.

Anyone know what the Vikings got for #115? Eagles turned it around and sent it to Green Bay
