Official 2014 NFL Draft Thread

Great Pick.  Will make the Badger guy look less slow.

This CB is about to be 25 years old(next month) and sounds like a project.

 

fine with CB depth, but wish they got somebody younger they can develop

I am done with this team and Ted if he goes honky on this last pick.

Also spelled honkie and sometimes even honkey.

I'll say this, the word "versatile" is becoming the new "tweener".

 

 

Short arms=stout.

Is this the first time TT hasn't traded at all during the draft? This is historic

 

Cracker

stout=fat

Beau Allen to Philly. Good for him.

Jaguars with SOD in UCF RB Storm Johnson.

Over/under Packers draft the ghey guy?

Through the 5th round, the Packers have drafted 5 of the Natl Football Post's top 100 prospects:

Dix-15

Adams-37

Bradford-54

Abbrederis-88

Linsley-100

 

Oddly, the two 3rd rounders were considered reaches by NFP, with Rodgers ranked 217 and Thornton not listed among the top 300 prospects.

 

 I noticed several "200+" rated prospects drafted in the 3rd. It seems after rnd 2 teams are looking for a very specific fit. for need. It also may be that the salary draw is low enough to take high risk/high reward players.  Versus the 64th pick (rnd 2# 32), the 65th choice (rnd3 #1) makes about 1/4 million less over 4 years, with ~150K less in signing bonus.

 

For example rd3  picks 2-4 (numbers 66, 67, 68) selected players ranked 51, 147 and 296.

Blue light special on kickers, aisle 7.

 

Not happenin'.  He's a 4-3 specialist.

Seriously. Crosby is toast.

I'd like to see that crazy Eye-talian get another shot at Crosby in camp.  I'm pretty drunk.

James Morris   make it happen ROTTT

I may have to enroll in detox after the draft.

I'd let Bert make this pick.

Raiders take former Badger Shelby Harris with long arms.

Ryan Groy is available if TT wants to totally freak out Packer Nation.

 

Pretty sure Mike Mayock is in good company with you at this point. 

Noticing most of the picks have a element of commitment through adversity.  Wonder if TT is trying to get the belly fire index up.  (Pssst, start with position coaches)

AJ Hawk lost his belly fire when he married Brady Quinn's doppelganger. 

That wasn't Brady Quinn?

Watkins and Henderson get busted smoking dope together.

There's my shot call.

Do they have a roofied coed tied up in the bedroom?

Let's go Rams.

TT quote, post draft. 

"We try to look at a young man's path, at how they got to where they got. The hardship and difficulty of the young men getting to where they get to. I do have a personal bias to the ones who have a difficult trek"

Good catch Henry. 

Some obscure udfa linebacker will push for a roster spot...

I hope.

It won't be Yawin Smallwood.

Thank you Rusty.

Mike McCarthy is stout?

From CNNSI:

 

Green Bay Packers

Few teams addressed obvious needs as aggressively and intelligently in this draft as the Packers, starting with first-round safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. The Alabama product can cover deep, and he’s a great hitter from linebacker depth up. Three underrated receivers — Fresno State’s Davante Adams in the second round, Wisconsin slot man Jared Abbrederis in the fifth round and Saginaw Valley State’s Jeff Janis in the seventh — should make Aaron Rodgers very happy. Cal tight end Richard Rodgers is the Jermichael Finley replacement — a receiver who can flare wide and make plays. And Southern Miss defensive tackle Khyri Thornton will help a line in great need of young, tough talent.

Grade: A

 

Good thing every pick fell into Teddy's lap.

 

I just looked at 5 or 6 different draft grade sites and ALL had the Packers graded as an "A".

It's up to the UDFA's to push the grade to A+.
