Reply to "Official 2016 NFL Draft Thread"

One other interesting note that I found out today.  WR-Kolby Listenbee/Texas Christian was a player the Packers interviewed at the combine.  At that time the draft experts had him as a fourth/fifth round type player.  He missed a couple games this season with a hip injury and then didn't do shuttles at the combine due to a groin injury.  There were no reports to indicate that he had any major issues, and the 4.35 second 40-time certainly would indicate that there were no major issues.  I still found it odd that Thompson was looking at him because he didn't seem to fit Thompson's preferences for a fourth/fifth round wide receiver (he's purely a speed guy at this point, not a player that was super-productive and not very good in traffic).  Turns out Listenbee has a sports hernia injury, and while it's probably not serious it sounds like something that could take the 20th best receiver in the draft and make him into the 30th best receiver in the draft, which would basically take him from a 4th/5th rounder to a 7th rounder.  It will be interesting to see what happens with this player.
