Different Pablo.

I've heard there are quite a few Pablos out there.

I for one am shocked by this revelation

Pretty sure I got the right Pablo...

We haven't had too many "I'm leaving" posts in Spanish, so he gets bonus points for originality.
And I don't blame him too much...you guys are all meanies.

Oooo, fun!

Translated...

I do not understand his nonsense. The truth I'm sick of your jokes and think they have the whole truth. They feel very s**t. is the last time I post something. Go eat s**t.

The translation is like Hawks game. Lacking flow but you understand what's trying to be done and talk yourself into appreciation of the the effort.

Not me. I slowed down on the freeway today and let someone make a lane change. You guys really have no idea what kind of a human being I am.

Peter King's Mock Draft released:

quote:

Star Lotulelei
DT Utah
Sr.6-3
320
A classic example of Packers GM Ted Thompson's taking the best player on the board. Patience is a virtue this year. And Star will be a star.

I understand he had a brief heart concern that got completely resolved but wasn't he projected as a top 8 pick?

Pete needs to understand stuff like this doesn't help the perception he doesn't know anything about the sport he covers full time.

No chance in hell that Lotulelei is there at #26 for the Packers, none. I'd be beside myself with joy if I were wrong, but the guy has no real knocks on him, he isn't going to hang around. He's the kind of player who could transform this defense into a top 5 unit.

This happens I am going to be arrested. If we draft Star I am going to immediately whip it out at the bar I will be watching at.

Book a hotel room in Jersey for Feb 1st 2014, pitch a massive dome tent, bottle of scotch. Those would all be in play if Star fell to 26. It's nice to know Minny has two picks right in front of GB so it's really like him falling to 22nd.

But like Red told Andy, "I don't think you oughta' be doing this to yourself. That's just a s****y pipe dream. Star is way the hell down there and you're stuck up here at 26".

If the draft falls together the way the rumors are saying it will, Star falling to the Packers isn't unrealistic. Right now it's sounding like he may be the 4th DT that is picked and looking at some of the team needs between 1 and 25 there may not be a huge market for him. Sharrif Floyd may also take a tumble if the Raiders don't take him.

I think Minny is going to trade down from 23 to their own pick at 25 so they can move up to get Geno Smith. Then miss 25 completely while they celbrate getting the guy they wanted.

What does derps think? My goodness.

So, you see public masturbation in my future. How embarrassing.

McGinn predicts Sylvester Williams. I wouldn't cry.

Larry Fitzgerald in green and gold

This draft has so much equal talent from the 15th best guy to the 96th pick. The best talent evaluators should absolutely clean up in this draft in rounds 2-4 and get some talented starters for years. If TT moves down and loads up on picks in 2,3,4, and 5 it could really help decide power in the North for quite a while.

Mayock has us taking Lacy.

So does Pete Dougherty of the GBPG. Though Datone Jones close second guess.

McGinn seems to think GB is going to take several wide bodies during this draft, especially on defense. He mentioned in a recent article that Pickett and Raji showed up for off season workouts fat and out of shape.

...not good considering that both looked like they were on roller skates when we last saw them vs. SF. SF's OC went into the game thinking he wouldn't be able to run between the tackles,what a pleasant surprise for him that Raji & Pickett offered little resistance.

I have a hard time seeing him as the 26th best player, not that I would mind him on my team, just seems like he should be taken later.

This...especially when there are so many needs at DL, ILB and OL. As much as we'd like to have a workhorse RB, defense was the reason we lost games last year. The offense is fine...especially if we get a starting OL out of this draft.

Sly Williams, Datone Jones, Justin Pugh, Menelik Watson...I am OK with any of these dudes. I'm also OK with TT trading into the 2nd and adding a 3rd and 4th, etc. This team needs depth more than it needs a bellcow RB. RB by committee has worked just fine. Especially when you lineup Cobb as a change of pace RB.

McCarthy said he wants an every down back and it's been reported that the Packers want to get more physical, so by that criteria Eddie Lacy makes a lot of sense. He's a strong runner for early downs and a solid pass protector for 3rd down. I've read the Bengals really covet him though so he might not make it to 26.

I think they're going to look for beef on DLine. They've shown a ton of interest in Georgia DL Kwame Geathers. I expect him to either be their 3rd or 4th round pick. So if they go DL in round 1, it will be a BIG guy. I'm wondering if they want to fight fire with fire when they play San Fran...they have massive OL, so they're going to bring in some massive DL to match.

When you only run 2 d-linemen as often as Green Bay does, it helps when they're massive.

And that's kind of why I am unsure of the Sly Williams pick. Despite his listed weight of 310+, he doesn't play like a big guy. He's not a guy who can anchor and hold against a double team. He's very quick and has a good array of pass rush moves, but his bull rush is almost non-existent.

That's where a guy like Jonathan Hankins is different. He's a huge guy, and he plays like it. His pass rush technique needs a lot of work, but when he gets that big body moving he's hard to stop. So if it comes down to Williams vs. Hankins, my money would be on Hankins.

I wouldn't mind a running back taken early, I just don't think the talent matches up with where the first round pick is.

Ultimately, this time, I will let Ted decide.

I'd also prefer Jesse Williams/Hankins/Jenkins for that reason. I wouldn't mind seeing two behemoths taken early, rotate 'em as needed and not let them wear down as much.

Lacy is not Peterson and that is the only kind of RB I'd draft in the first. Please, please, please someoone come calling for a trade when the Packers 1st round pick is up.

You are right! I forgot. Sorry about that. Never again!!! jajajajajaja

Hey, you can't leave now, we're down to our last Pablo

Final from Kiper and McShay. Link

Kiper: UCLA defensive end Datone Jones
McShay: Syracuse offensive lineman Justin Pugh

My guess: someone wants to move up to grab a QB and TT trades down for some extra picks.

To win a championship, this team needs to get more physical. I don't care if it takes Olivia-Newton-John. We were manhandled by the Niners. Physical in the trenches and Safety, speed in the LB corp. And Crosby needs a legitimate threat in camp.

One Bakersfield boy I wish would end up on the Packer roster is a guy from Oregon named Ryan Clanton. Did not get invited to the combine, but is 6-5, 310 pound guard who has done some work at Center, 42 bench presses of 225, runs a 5.0 40.... 15 NFL teams have shown interest so he may be a 7th round pick.
