Official 2015 NFL Draft Thread

Remember it's in Chicago this year.

"Drink heavily" is on the agenda along with that Italian place you recommended.

Couple of decent ILB UFA's this year...Rolando McClain from the Cryboys, and Josh Mauga from KC...he had 103 tackles and only 27.

 

Larry Foote is also available, and though he's 34, he had 89 tackles and 2 sacks. He's an upgrade to who we have.

If Bulaga leaves then yeah, it gets interesting. I think they like Tretter's athleticism and look at him like a poor-man's Flanny, backing up center and LT. That's why I wouldn't be surprised to see TT take a Havenstein late: someone who can play RT or can maul at guard in a pinch to compete with Barclay.

 

Cedric Ogbuehi from Texas A&M is intriguing. He looked like the next stud LT prospect at A&M until tearing his ACL in the bowl game. Were he to fall far enough I could see TT taking him. Andrus Peat is a guy I like a lot, but he'll be gone before Green Bay picks and he's a better fit on the left side if they moved Bakhtiari over. I'm generally not a fan of replacing/moving more than one o-lineman in a season. We saw this year how much continuity matters.   

La Scarola!!! 

 

No FAs in the middle. I want homegrown organic badasses. Perryman is the closest CJ Mosley in this draft. Kendricks and McKinney have higher combine flash. 

 

AJ Hawk and Brad Jones are in the rear view mirror. 

 

Green Bay is going to have a good defense next year. Really good. 

Jesus ****...[catts] is an upgrade over what we have at MLB.

I donot understand thenumber of complaints aboutTTs draft.  The great(?) Ron Wolf had a very poor record of drafting first rounders!!   But did well in rounds after that.  TT is about the same way and it probably is at least partly due to the fact that he has had to draft late in the rounds since the Pack has had so many decent years.  Unlike some of the earlier years where any type of a win at all was some big surprise.   But too many of the youngsters on this board apparently do not remember those years. 

You really are a stupid football **** 

Disagree....ankles are too skinny

 

"Tretter was completely overmatched when he stepped in at tackle."

 

Because Mario Williams made a freakish athletic move and swiped the ball away from #12 as he was getting pushed by?   I don't know what else you could be basing this on besides that single play.

 

I agree we need depth, but ILB continues to be this teams weakness!  

From WalterFootball:

One player who has had a mixed Senior Bowl is Iowa defensive tackle Carl Davis. He has displayed a nice skill set with strength, size, and a burst. However, Davis has flunked the team interviews. He has said he didn't work hard in practice at Iowa because he was going against young scout team linemen and he didn't want to risk injury against some overzealous underclassmen. He told teams that he should only play about half the snaps in a game in order to be effective. Teams felt he came across as very arrogant and lazy. Davis is going to need to turn that around before his Combine and pre-draft visit interviews.

Ouch, sounds like Jonathan Perzley and Brian Mackler haven't done much with Mr. Davis. If I'm an agent with a potential high draft pick who's playing in a a post-season all-star game, I'm drilling and grilling him for the interviews.          

If we read a statement like that from a Wisconsin Badger, we'd soon see an indictment of the entire program by one of the dum dums around here.

Cletidus Hunt....is that you?!?!?

The place you have to hit is the pizza place downtown called Giodarno's (not sure how that is spelled but if you ask where it is anyone will get you there.  Great pizza

)

Its a chain and it's garbage.  I've only had fireworks after ever eating there.  Try Gino's East or Pizano's.

Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinders co. 

 

Portillos just to scrub the drunk off. 

I'm not sure what makes him dumberer, what he said or that he said it?

We ate at THIS Gino's

 

Love that deep dish crust. So light & slightly sweet. Excellent pizza & beer.

From Packers.com

 

 Iowa’s Carl Davis dominated from the first practice through the last. He was athletic and explosive, and Pauline says Davis has the strength to play on the nose and the athleticism to play end in a three-man front. “Unstoppable all week. Double-teamed on the last day to slow him down. Second round to late first round,” Pauline said. 

I'm a pizza hater and even I love Giordanos. I know, un-American to hate pizza. That's what happens when you  allow foreigners into your country.

I wish I could hear what some of these guys say in meetings. I bet some really ridiculous stuff comes out from both the player and the team (I'm looking at you Jeff Ireland)! That said, I take reports like these with a grain of salt. I'm sure teams love to play games with the media. This could easily be a team at the end of R1 or beginning of R2 trying to shine a negative light on Davis' character so some team thinks twice about picking him.

 

 

I've been leary of Walter Football for some time now. He tends to repeat himself quite a bit, holds his opinions as stone-cold facts, and will crucify teams who don't do EXACTLY what he would do.  Charlie Campbell isn't bad though, as at least he appears to put some thought into his mock drafts. CBS Sports seems to have better overall writers, or at least scouting reports than he does.

Your bread tastes like metal.

 

Another intriguing, "TT-type" guy would be Quinten Rollins from Miami (OH). Guy played hoops and only played football for one season but had seven interceptions and was all-conference at CB. Might be a mid-round guy to add depth to the secondary.

 

Then again, if Tramon Williams is not brought back they could grab a CB early. Hayward is best suited for the slot and lacks outside speed and House (if re-signed) hasn't been consistent or healthy. Goodson is a project at this point.  

I think that's true with a lot of these draft sites. Shawn Zobel is the worst at that, I stopped reading his site. I don't take Walterfootball as Gospel, but I do find they are pretty accurate in terms of draft slot projections...more so than CBS.  CBS guys are much more articulate, but their rankings are kind of ridiculous sometimes and they leave out a lot of lesser known prospects. I've seen guys everyone is predicting as a potential 2nd or 3rd rounder not even be listed as a potential UDFA in their rankings. They kind of pimp whoever is popular IMO. Walterfootball sticks to his guns a little bit, but his site isn't as detailed or well put together. Frank Cooney's NFLDraftScout used to be the best site before CBS bought it. It still exists, but not like it used to be. Draftbreakdown.com has become a really interesting site, not for their analysis, but for their quantity and quality of videos on every prospect. 

Looks to me like if you want a Super Bowl Team draft a lot of Big Ten Players.  

 

With six players on either roster, your Wisconsin Badgers are the most represented college in this year's Super Bowl. No matter which stupid team (and believe me, both teams are stupid) wins the Super Bowl, a Badger will be getting a ring.

Either James White and Jonathan Casillas of the New England Patriots or O'Brien Schofield, Russell Wilson, David Gilreath and Mike Taylor of the Seattle Seahawkswill see their football dreams come true in two weeks. This will be the second straight year that a Badger is Super Bowl champion, since Russell and the gang did it last year as well.

USC has the second most players, with five, followed by a whole host of schools with four. Included on that list are Alabama (Wisconsin's first opponent of 2015), Illinois, Michigan, Oregon, Rutgers, Stanford, Texas A&M and UCLA. Cal, LSU, Mississippi State, Oklahoma State, Purdue and TCU all have three representatives in the big game.

Continuing its run of dominance over all things football related, the Big Ten  as a conference, has the most players in the big game with 29. The Pac-12 (second place again, fellas) has 27, the SEC has 25, the ACC has 11 and the Big 12 has nine. Notre Dame has two players in the Super Bowl, which is only one more than Florida A&M and Concordia have.

Davis was hot and cold and played when he wanted to.   When he wanted to he was pretty damn good.

 

He is a better prospect then the fat slob Gopher from last year

Is this where we can start posting our FanSpeak Drafts?

 

To high for Herring.  Love the first three picks.  

Just don't say anything about Golden Corral.  You'll be in front of a House Committee lickity split. 

And rightly so. Guantanamo makes sense for eating at that place.

Golden Corral has pizza. 

Guantanamo is just a giant Golden Corral.  Force feed Murica to the terrorists!  

 

Packers just found their new Dline.

Feeding Golden Corral to terrorists? Well, the terrorists just lost. Cruel and unusual punishment.

1.  Benardrick McKinney/ILB/Mississippi State

2.  Malcom Brown/DT/Texas

3.  Sean Hickey/OT/Syracuse

4.  Tyler Lockett/WR/Kansas State

5.  Geneo Grissom/OLB/Oklahoma

6.  Byron Jones/CB/UConn

7.  Jean Sifrin/TE/UMass

I hope this is the year that TT is able to find a difference maker at ILB.   CJ Mosley had a very good year and while I think Dix will become a very good player there's no question Mosley would have helped them big time this year. 

I also think that they need to try to find another good corner and DL given the fact Tramon may not be back and Raji will likely not return.

Of course TT could throw us all a curve and select a WR or TE high

I guess it is a fact Tramon and Raji might not return (it is a fact Rodgers might not return...), I still think odds are good Raji is back on the team and better than 50/50 for Williams.  It is a fact that I think that.  

Found on internet:

"odds are good Raji is back on the team and better than 50/50 for Williams"
