So this is Ted's first draft not taking an offensive lineman.
@RobDemovsky: First time Ted Thompson hasn't drafted an offensive linemen. He's taken more there, 18, than at any other spot.
"Yikes."
Okay...
@AdamSchefter: Rams RB Zac Stacy traded to Jets for pick 224, per source.

Whiny tools in game threads deftly adapt to being whiny tools in draft threads.
Mad props.
Penis envy runs rapid during the season, penis envy runs rapid during draft
Do you have extra penises lying around? Gross.

I think we're gonna be OK.
Why not just trade Micah Hyde for a 7th round pick?
Kiper and McShay are finally at each other's throats. **** they hate each other.
@jasonjwilde: McCarthy says rookies will come in Thursday night for orientation camp. Practice Friday morning and Saturday. #Packers
Cris Carter's emotional speech to Shane Ray prior to the draft was comedy on the highest order.
More Internet hits. Mayweather Pacquiao or Kiper McShay?
Are hair pulling and squeeling like a little girl allowed?

I'm liking Heeney as well, he has almost the exact measurables as Kendricks, but just played on a crappy team. Could also see the kid from Michigan, Jake Ryan as a ILB for the Pack in the 4th or 5th.
Helluva prediction there DD. Nice job.
Re-reading through this thread....lotsa comedy in here.
I still can't believe the Titans didn't make that trade. What Ian Rap was reporting is accurate. If that was the Packers in that slot, even if we didn't have a QB & TT passed on a deal like that, I'd be super pissed off. A chance at 6 starters incl, a QB + a nickle back for Marcus "Miracle Man" Mariota?
It'll be fun see how this plays out in 2-3 years
I agree with you Boris
For that non-trade to work out for the Titans it would seem that Mariotra needs to become an elite QB and Tennessee has so mahy holes to fill that the trade could have helped them some more I think

Redskins gm Scott mccloughan on Leonard Williams... 'Only trade offers received were for fowler, as soon as fowler was off the board, the calls stopped coming in...'
I think that's interesting. Most "draft pundits" had Leonard Williams rated the top player in the draft
They're pundits for a reason. They know nothing of tiers.
I thought Cooper was the best player in the draft, not Williams.
Neither one is a QB nor a pass rusher, so it's moot.
Goal line....would you put Cooper at Julio or Calvin Johnson level?
Or more AJ Green, Jordy level?
Or even lower ....Alshon Jeffrey or Anquan Boldin?

I liken him to a bigger Marvin Harrison or maybe a poor man's Jerry Rice, he's smooth and complete, doesn't have that one "it" thing that makes you go "WOW"! but will always be productive inside, outside, underneath and sneaky deep.

Good question. This was a weak draft so o surprise that the best player can't match the best from other drafts. I would put him at below the AJ Green/Jordy level, but only by a bit.
Seattle didn't exactly do a fine job of sluethin'. What could go wrong?
"Team officials had conducted an extensive investigation" = Seattle talked with Frank Clark to get his side of the story.
Well, like any good scouts they looked at the tape. The more productive he was the more innocent he became.
More & more I'm disliking Schneider along with Carroll
Ron Wolf knew Wayne Simmons was a turd, but he also felt they needed that kind of turd on the defense for his attitude. As Keim said 'If Hannibal Lecter ran a 4.3 40 we'd list him as having an eating disorder'. The question is more often which and how many of these guys do we roll the dice with.
I'm not saying I'm a fan of that line of thinking, just that it is.
TT has been far more conscientious about drafting bad eggs than Wolf was.
Ron became a made man with the 60s-70s Raiders. Just sayin.

But they admit they never talked to the witnesses.
Was looking at Brian's predictions before the draft. None of them bad choices....however...
FIVE of the 7 players he lists were available when the Packers selected & TT passed on them all. Says something....yes?
Says Ted knows a lot more than Brian.
Eh, who needs sleep tonight anyways?
He looks scarier when he is sipping on a bud light on ice.
Wayne Simmons was not just a turd - the guy was a menace to society. Not much separating him from the Lawrence Phillips of the world.
The "means to an end" approach isn't what I would do and for the most part I think TT stays away from turds or criminals. Let some other team deal with that baggage and drama.

Koren Robinson, Johnny Jolly and now Letroy Guion? Not always
Alcohol, purple drank and weed. Hard core criminals.
Yeah there is a massive difference between domestic abuse and drug abuse. Koran Rob had already gotten help for his issues by the time GB signed him if I recall. And the Packers helped Jolly through his recovery rather than dismiss him or worse, enable him. Is anyone surprised Pete Carroll is okay with having a POS like Clark on his team? Just win baby...

Yep, marijuana is a gateway drug.
