Who gives a **** how tall he is? How tall is Steve Smith?

I care. It appears he is 5'105 - 5'11.

Bad pick. Reach. Non-football school risk. Mostly lucky. Not a position of need. Thompson's ego at work. Trying to be too cute. Too small. Dum.

Oh, and here's his catch to beat the 'Cocks last year, 1:15 left in the game.



We had just offed #1 'Bama the previous week.

I'll let Thompson know that he's a 1/2 inch too short for you.

I did'nt think that message got posted. I went to SI to find his height and was just reporting what his height was listed as. I was not meaning to say because he was 5'105 that I was not happy with the pick- just making the statement. Take a deep chug and a deep breath BeerGuy. Relax a little.

Might have to get a custom helmet made.

Not necessarily.

Unless he signs the the tender. If he signs an offer sheet for starter money with another team we can let him walk and get a 3rd round pick as compensation (his original round).

Some team may be willing to do that, and I'm sure we'd be happy to have the pick.

I love a "reach" on someone projected a round earlier than he was taken.

Did it get called back for all the coaches on the field?

No, but that's a damn good point! I'm sending this photo to the NCAA right now.

I'm not convinced the addition of Cobb means the subtraction of Jones.

I wish the Packers could get Alshon Jeffrey next year. Mad skills.

Even if Jones does go, Finley/Cobb/compensatory pick for Jones = net gain for the GBP.

Especially if Green Bay pedals that 3rd round pick for a respected ball carrier.

I don't think you can expect too much from Driver this year. I would not be surprised to see another WR drafted.

Agreed, but I do expect him to make the roster.

Yeah, Jones is gettign the boot. Love the versatility this guy brings.

Thanks for the new avatar Brak!

Love it....Good call by Gravediggrya.

Last year 3 full backs on the roster...this year 6 Wrs

You...you're not good.

This kid has mad skillz. Hopefully he'll make Slocum look smarter too. Although that may be asking too much.

Fearless! Everything he does is between the hashes. Kinda reminds me of DD.

I think the real winners here are those of us who play Madden with the Packers. The days of having to pic up crapy FAs who are fast or using Jordy Nelson on are return game are over, thank god.

Who knows, but count me out of the "Good bye Jones" bandwagon.

I hope he is still with the Pack.

Brett Swain hates this pick...thought TT should've gone defense.

More options for Mad Mike, he now can go to a WildCobb formation.

Don't think TT is going to resign Jones at all. They have Jordy who is a FA next year. Jennings has a nice salary and Driver should be back for one more year. Finley is a FA next year and now they have Cobb. No way TT pays Jones a big deal with his lack of consistent production. Someone will pay Jones a decent deal.

Or he signs the tender, plays one more season (fine with me), and then leaves next year.

We still get a compensatory pick (although it may not be a 3rd).

That would be fine with me. Either way, as you said, the Packers are going to get comp pick if he leaves this or next year.

Hopefully, someone signs Colledge to a 4-5 year deal worth 20 million.

Watching Cobb's highlights make me smile

While it's not likely, I don't think it's out of the question for Driver to be released and GB to sign Jones to a long term deal.

Me either. People need to get over Jones dropsies. The guy is a baller that will only get better.

Perennial winners have great depth and can utilize different players in different situations. Cobb and Green sound like the Wes Welker/Danny Woodhead players that make the offense even more dangerous.

It isn't all about the dropsies with me. It's got something to do with bone-crushing drops at the most critical moments, sure, to a relatively minor extent. It's more about how (a) no way Ted lets him get to this point if he considers him more than a luxury to keep around at the team's price and (b) some dumdum team will pay him number one money that he's not worth.

Jennings didn't even get to RFA. Don't be shocked to see Jordy get a deal when the CBA crap is resolved. They paid Driver a couple of years ago when they didn't have to. Finley is a decision that's already on the horizon, and that's a huge one. I just think there's only so much $$ to go around one position group when you're this deep.

I don't know about this pick being a direct replacement for Jones, but it's at minimum a CYA if Jones leaves.

I don't know how anyone thinks Jones "will only get better". He has had the dropsies fairly consistently. Some can live with that, others can't but he's not going to get "better".

The Cobb kid has a great set of returner skills and would look good in the slot.

But I was really hoping TT would trade up to get Reed.

Cobb waited an awfully long time in green room


Love this quote: “I would have waited until the seventh round if I could go to the Packers,” Cobb said. “It was well worth the wait.”

quote:

Green Bay fans....here you got the steal of this entire draft. This kid is Mr. EXCITEMENT on the football field. He can do it all at FOUR postions! Watch the film of this guy. Watch him in the second half against AUBURN this year. Best player on the field.

From the comments too. Really? Double super bonus glee.

Kid reminded me of a blend of Robert Brooks and a young Donald Driver from the video I saw.

'nuther hell yeah I figgure!

Let me tell you. It's a concentration problem, not a skill problem. A young guy that can mature over a case of concentration lapse, not skill lapse, is worth keeping.

Think about it. Driver, at the end of his career. Jennings, Jones, Nelson; great core. Who is there after that? Swain? You're 4 deep with Cobb. How many teams have 5 or 6 receivers in depth?

How many balls did Jordy drop at opportune times? You see Jones make a big time catch and you wonder how I can think he can only get better?

Simple fact, fans get one or two plays in their head and stick the player with a tag. Jones isn't Robert Ferguson, he has made more than one impressive catch.

Christ, how many people were flipping between Jordy and Jones as "cut him now" scapegoats throughout the season.

You're a slowcoach to think he can't get "better". Try to fight through the stupid.
