Because that 2014 draft pick isn't 33 years old and the Packers tend to bring in younger guys, not guys already into their thirties.

Ted did bring in Koren Robinson all those years ago. It's not like he never does it, just far less often than those really unknown raw players.

Seems like the Packers don't usually bring vets in unless they already know someone on the inside.

Like Thompson (with the Seahawks) had been around Koren Robinson and Marquand Manuel

Peppers had been coached by DL coach Mike Trgovac (with the Panthers)

I haven't found a direct connection for Pickett and Woodson, but both have an indirect connection of Packers coaches leaving the other teams right before drafted Pickett/Woodson and still could of had connections. Packers DE coach Carl Hairston was the Rams DL coach the year before they drafted Pickett. And Packers CB coach Lionel Washington was with the Raiders (as a player) the year before they drafted Woodson.

TE Kellen Winslow Jr. connection is that he and Packers new TE coach Brian Angelichio were both on the Bucs for an offseason together... before control freak (head coach) Greg Schiano got annoyed he couldn't control Winslow and traded him away.

Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Against tbd
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
