--- We're lumped up with another NFCN team and I'll bet you know who that is without looking.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

"learn from Raji" - that's a laugh.

I am extremely pleased with the Clinton-Dix pick; I'm moderately pleased with the Adams pick - I didn't want a WR that high in the draft, but he seems like a good choice - similar to James Jones but better at holding onto the ball - hopefully. I didn't like the choice of a D-Lineman and a TE this early in the draft also, and neither seems like much of a bargain. I'm willing to keep an open mind on Thornton and Rodgers though. They both seem like projects.

Ted shoulda got an ILB and a second Safety by now. Hopefully he accomplishes that effectively on Saturday.

"When you're younger, you're a little more impressionable, it's easier to get (to them) than a guy who's been doing it for six or seven years. I want to get my hands on those young guys." -Mike Daniels

No worries about being around Raji, in Mike Daniels I trust!

Hey guys!

Haven't posted in a while. Thought I would try to contribute some more when I can.

I actually like our draft so far. Seem to be hitting on need positions.

Not sure about the talent a inside backer in this draft. Shazier and Mosely were both guys I would have picked over Dix, but I think getting the consensus best safety was a great fall-back plan.

S Clinton-Dix - Will be immediate upgrade over MD Jennings and anyone else. Will help the defense from day 1.

WR - Davis - intelligence is biggest attribute. Contributor from day one. Can play all three WR positions which GB loves. Most productive WR in college.

DT/DE: Thornton - can't say I've heard of this guy. Seems to have great size for both DE and NT in our 3-4. Highlights show a big boy with great speed and athleticism. Potential seems high.

TE: Rodgers - looks a little soft for a TE. Could likely use some conditioning + going up against Clay, Peppers, Neal, and Perry for a few months this offseason. Another potential pick. Should not unseat Quarless. Still holding out hope for a Finley return.

I like the Thornton pick. One of those prospects you didn't hear a lot about going inLooks like a kid who had to deal with a lot of adversity playing on a bad team particularly on offense. He has all you look for in a 3-4 defensive end prospect. I believe he was picked to later fill the void left by Jolly.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
