Someone please name a high draft pick, that has had this many serious health problems this early, that still ended up doing well for the team. I can think of a lot (in all sports) that didn't. Please...point out one....I need hope. Darn facts and history getting in the way.

There was someone on the Packers, RaiderPride mentioned it awhile back.

Is Raiderpride the one that mentioned the Gravedigger. If so, doesn't count since he wasn't a high draft pick. One of my concerns is that high draft picks are not incented to push themselves since they already have their money. Again, please use high drafts as an example. Otherwise, I am 99.9% Harrell is a bust. I like Ted Thompson a lot, but this one was bad.

That's really not all that fair - by all accounts Harrell has been busting his ass to get healthy. I can see calling the pick a bust because they should have had some indication that dude's back was so bad, but just saying dude's lazy because he got paid, without any real indication that's true, that's unfair. My opinion.

Please, let's talk facts. I want to believe the stories. Just like the stories of how Carroll had turned it around, of how Randy Wirght is the answer, blah blah. The fact is I cannot find a high draft pick in any sport with these sort of health problems for 2 years straight where it worked out. I never said he as lazy. PLease leave OPINIONS out of it. Name me a guy that braks my rule....please.

Didn't Columbo for the Bears have all kinds of health problems and then go on to the Cowboys to have a decent career?

AAAHHHHHH....yes...good example. Whew. Thank you. Good fact that proves my theory wrong. Well, the odds are against Harrell but I won't feel like a dope for hoping. Thanks again!

OK---

This got missed, at least I don't think anyone noticed or commented upon it.

The Red Sox are in first place, the Yankees are in last, and the rest of the league opens today. It's a glorious day.
PACKERS PIPELINE
Let's be honest, there's not a whole lot going on. I did, however, run into someone this weekend that many of you have been asking about:

Justin Harrell.

Have to say, he looks really good and very happy.

Harrell said he is weighing about 305 pounds, did not have further back surgery in the off-season, and has been feeling really good so far this off-season.

That being said, even Harrell acknowledged that none of this really means anything, that the only things that matters is can he stay healthy for more than 10 days once the pads are put on.

I hope it happens for at least one season. Harrell's young and has made some mistakes, but he's a good kid and I'm rooting for him.

He's got to catch a break one of these days.

Big news, in at least one small way...because it is an inquiry / encounter / chance meeting / whatever of Justin himself, not Mike McCarthy or TT- mostly because I personally and honestly felt severely bullshat last time either of those two told me about him last year, so was waiting for the day when we heard from him-not them- this year.

It is the FIRST TIME any of these sports journalists have talked DIRECTLY to him in a LONG, LONG time. I know there isn't much of substance, but at least I know the kid is- alive, for example (ok-sarcasm).

C'mon Justin, we are all pullin' for ya ! We would ALL like to catch a break in the Justin Harrell sweepstakes! (especially since we have already paid out--OK, more sarcasm) :thumbleft:

If I had to guess between which would come first, Harrell playing 10+ games in a season, or the zombie plague, I'd bet on the latter. Not holding my breath.

If he plays a full season, great. But nobody get your hopes up.

Nothing personal against Justin, but my hopes of him making an impact, positively on the Packers defense. Well, I have him right there with Crosby meeting my expectations of a kicker in the FG percentage. I'm doomed on both accounts I fear.

Mucky Tundra (14h) : I really hope they stand pat and Draft a WR

Mucky Tundra (14h) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (14h) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend Penei Soul 4yrs - 112mil

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend St. Brown 4 years 120mil and

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.
