Mucky, I yield to your stats hahahaha.

I still have a high opinion of Quarless, though, and I would be highly pissed if Ted took a TE in the first or second round when we need Safetys and ILBs so much worse.

P2W, that guy musta grown like David Robinson, considering the academies' size limits.

yeah yeah yeah ....... the Packers don't need no stinkin' TE in the 1st round - or the 2nd or the 3rd or the 4th.

😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

I just hope it's Ebron, he is the only TE rated high enough to be considered at #21.

For the record, I got the #1 correct last season, and I got the position correct the two previous years. Not many hit Perry and Sherrod by name. How about you?

I am stating my prediction clearly right here - Safety and Clinton-Dix. Are you REALLY going on record with TE and Ebron? Seriously?

And that's without a team like the Eagles jumping in front of us to nab him away.

I wouldn't mind drafting a TE if the right one falls to 21. Ebron is a ridiculously talented player. Too good to fall to 21, really.

I'm not really a huge fan of TE. Unless you get a really well-rounded or complete guy (which seems rare) you are really just getting someone who even if he's pretty good is probably going to produce as a receiver like a #3 or #4 possession WR. A good receiving TE just seems to me like more of a luxury position and not something you really need. I would rather land a guy like Jordan Matthews than any of the TEs in this draft. If there's a TE who can be a decent receiving threat but is also a great blocker I could get on board with that early but I'm not buying all the hype lately for these "receiving only" TEs.

Personally, I can't see Clinton-Dix or Ebron there at 21. I don't think we take a TE in R1 as a result. Doesn't mean Ted won't take one later, and there are a handful of really good ones that will be available R2 and later.

I think with our new running game after having drafted Lacy last year, the dynamics of TE play may have changed in GB. I like Quarless a lot, and would not be surprised to see Bostick and Stoneburner develop into solid players. Quarless is a great blocker, and maybe the other two develop further in that dept. I question how great a need TE is for GB, but adding another into the mix who offers both receiving ability and solid blocking capabilities wouldn't hurt.

I love Troy Niklas' potential, you never now if a guy will live up to his potential, but Niklas is already one of the better blockers with potential to get better, as a receiver he's very raw but he has all the physical tools and growing and getting better as a receiver.

I'm saying that there are only so many players that Ted has rated as #21 worthy.

If for some reason all those players go early, BECASUE AS I SAID NOBODY KNOWS HOW THE DRAFT IS GOING TO UNFOLD, and Ebron is still on the board at 21, and is the BPA(on The Packers Board), then Ted will probably take him.

You said The Packers didn't need Raji, a week later they resigned him, you said The Packers didn't need matt Flynn, hmmm somebody signed today.

I could go back and list several more players you have deemed expendable, but for some reason Ted has decided to bring them back.

That is what I meant by your track record, you don't want them on The Team, Ted resigns them.

You say TE is irrelevant, I say There's a good chance Ted drafts one because your recent track record shows that you and Ted are not on the same page.(thankfully).

You got the 1st pick right last year?

Hell go back and check, I listed the final 53 man roster last year before FA started and got 42 of the names right.

The lesson, anybody can get lucky.
