Their first two draft picks, cornerbacks Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins, showed enough to suggest they might push for playing time even though the Packers didn't draft them to play a lot as rookies.

Both of them bring so much range as DB. So many people were hung up on Randell playing Safety but that was out of need ... he's an outside corner. Their rookies so your going to have a few bumps but both solid players IMHO.

Obviously, there will rarely ever be anything negative said at this time. If a question was asked of Taveris Manning on Monday we'd have been told how well he's doing and then he's cut Wednesday. So we just dont know how accurate the praise is. However, no one would go out of their way to talk good of a guy who's struggling. IMHO the Gunter talk has some truth behind it.

I can't shake the feeling of Randall being a bust and Rollins being a sensational player.

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."

Who says they weren't drafted to play a lot, even start? Hayward is iffy at best with his injury history, and Goodson needs to prove he is even in the mix.

I'm extremely glad we drafted highly athletic players, and all things considered, I'm glad we got a pair of 'em at the top of the draft. Corner is one position where an athletic and skilled rookie can excel, and I expect one, hopefully both of these guys to do that.
