New WR Chris Harper was drafted late in the 4th
1 pick after Tretter and 2 picks before Jonathan Franklin

6'1" 230 and runs a 4.55 40. Seattle was hoping to keep him around after final cuts in pre-season but SF snapped him up with the thoughts of developing him as an H-back to replace Delaine Walker who they lost to TN. He's absolutely Harbaughs kind of guy for that position.
SF had to cut him loose to make room for DL help with Aldon Smith in rehab and Justin Smith, McDonald, and Dorsey out with injuries (about time they had to deal with them) they had no choice.
Red flag is that he's not a high effort guy. Not in love with playing football. General thinking is he's a TE masquerading as a WR. Heavily recruited out of HS. Incredibly strong hands and toys with DB's trying to press him in coverage. Tough to tackle. Played QB in HS as well.
Second highest drafted player in 2013 not on a roster opening day. Will be interesting to see how MM decides to use him but he looks like another TE.
Obviously was on ROTTTs radar during the draft. It would be extra special if he developed for us after being cast away by seachickens and 9urs

Just the other day Rodgers was singing praises for Antonio Chapman. I think he misses him.
If Harper is a WR in a TE body, maybe he's been picked up for ST since they're down so many LBs.
Loins released Tony Scheffler today. Wouldn't mind TT taking a long look at adding him to the roster... 30 but still productive at TE.
EDIT... Yikes. 3 concussions in 4 years and #4 happened 3 weeks ago. Never mind and carry on.

Speaking of TT and the draft....did you know that the Mighty Green Bay Packers spent less draft value in acquiring an entire secondary than Dallas did in grabbing (1) CB named Morris Claiborne ?
Tramon Williams- undrafted
Sam Shields- undrafted
Casey Hayward- 2nd round
Davon House - 4th round
Micah Hyde - 5th round
Chris Banjo- undrafted
MD Jennings - undrafted
Morgan Burnett- 3rd round
Jerron McMillian 4th round
That's how you win in a game of attrition...
Green Bay Practice Squad:
cut - Reggie Dunn, KR/WR
signed - Michael Hill, RB
Soooo, Jordan Cameron is next? Could you imagine MM and Rodgers with that guy?
Would love to see Jordan Cameron in Green and Gold.
How about his sister in grey?
She looks as pure as a snowflake from a remote alpine village. I'll bet she does shampoo commercials.
Apparently she has a kid with Matt Leinart and another with Blake Griffin.
So you're saying there's a chance...
If she had a kid with Matt Leinart I have one thing to say to that kid. Your catching genes are better than your throwing genes. A jugs machine would make a great Xmas gift.
Blakes kid would flop on every marginal contact play but the post TD goal post dunks would make Jimmy Graham weep.

That kid already has a "jugs machine". Haven't you seen the picture?!?!?
If Mom's rack reinforces catcher. Then she's done her job twice.
Tori Gurley is available. Come on TT, go all in with fatsos.
Can you blame him? He was right in the middle of a Hee-Haw marathon.
Brett Favre IS a Hee-Haw marathon.
One of my favorite clips to illustrate TOG's never leaving:
I call BS...I bet Bus Cook is the source...definitely a subscriber to "love me, hate me, just don't ignore me," school of thought.
Top 10 players who could be traded. But, would TT trade a draft pick for any of them? And, not sure CB or RB are that high on his players of need like this author might think. Tony Gonzalez would be interesting? Hakeem Nicks or Josh Gordon maybe?
I stopped reading when he wrote that Will Blackmon could interest teams looking for a cornerback. He couldn't play corner when he was young and healthy.
And the fact that GB would be interested? I as hoping Will Black would make it back, but I don't see us interested in him as a CB/DB, maybe punt returner, but we have the "Natural".

He obviously knows nothing about the Packers. DB and running back are two positions where The Packers have plenty of depth. Also, like Thompson would do any trade. At the end of the day, these so called "experts" look silly a lot of times.
What do they look like at the beginning of the day?
