I thought bigger penis meant better 40 times. Hmm, live and learn, I guess.
It's the best reason I've seen that explains Teddy Bridgewater's quiet demeanor.
Former Wisconsin RB Corey Clement said a #Packers scout told him the team may draft two tailbacks this year because they are so thin.

Wouldn't mind seeing the Packers grab Dare Ogunbowale if the price is right. He's smart, tough and versatile and could have a decent NFL career.
Dare would make a great UDFA

Poor guy has to be the butt of so many jokes.
Who gives a rat's ass?
Butt?
SI just had an article on Jones' jones coming out. He said he grabbed free shorts and didn't look at them closely; they were actually boxers with a handy slot in front. When he was running, "the hummer"--as he called it-- came out and hung out. He didn't trip at the end; he said he dived so he could put himself back in with some modesty. (He didn't say if it hurt or not!) Dude said he wasn't embarrassed at all -- it could happen to anyone...

Ran a 4.65 today, which will hurt.
If TT drafts a back, watch for Brian Hill from Wyoming. He's 6'1 220# and can catch.
Hill ran a 4.54 today. Williams from Utah, who TT reportedly interviewed at Senior Bowl ran a 4.41 today
For a running back patience, balance, decisiveness and acceleration are more important than straight ahead speed. For the Packers, put blocking and catching ahead of the 40 time as well.
Fournette ran a 4.51 at 240lbs. Geezus f**q that's insane. That's a pretty simple mass x velocity equation. So he's gone top 5. Zeke Elliott ran a 4.46 at 225 last year. Fournette isn't Bo Jackson numbers but it's the fastest a 240lb guy has run in 18 years at the combine. And Fournette knows how to make people miss. That's a terrifying RB if he's able to stay healthy.
McCaffery ran patterns as a WR and looked like a first rounder. So he's gone pretty fast as well.
Good. Leave those CB's and pass rushers on the board. I'm fine with Lacy, Monty, UDFA and Rip holding done the backfield.
I'm thinking McCaffrey will go somewhere between 25-30. I can see us getting a RB in later rounds. Joe Williams from Utah has some baggage (dismissed at UConn for theft, "retired" for a couple of games at Utah before being asked to come back), but TT has reportedly interviewed him. could be a 5th + round candidate? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y8WyD-nmWY
Just my opinion.
Nasty language on the youtube clip. If he picked the song out it shows he may have "baggage" with attitude issues.
"Retirement" really?
Don't see that attitude working in GB
John Ross runs a 4.22 40. Fastest ever at the combine. One team had him at 4.19. He was going in round 1 already. He is a very good WR. But some team is going to reach for him.
Oh yeah, he ran his 4.22 while cramping up.
Reported that he also did very well in interviews & is a good route runner
OJ Howard. 6'6". 251lbs. 4.51 40. Those numbers make no sense.
Ho-lee-balls the TEs in this class. Kid from Miami looks good. There's even a 6'4" whitey out of Iowa than ran a 4.52 40. Is this the year Ted finally lands the dominant white TE?
Only two TEs over 6'5" have ever put up 20 plus on bench press, 30 plus vertical, sub 4.55 40, 10' plus broad jump. OJ Howard and Jared Cook.
CB is still deeper but this draft has some really good TEs.
Howard looks like he could be the next great TE, a month ago it looked like he could be there at 29, very doubtful now
As good as Howard is going to be. He's probably long gone at 29. And even if he isn't. There will be a crap load of defensive players with equal grades just sitting there. Ted should get an impact starter on D whether he goes CB or edge rusher.
This is not a good year to need OL in the draft. All the more reason to try and get something done with TJ.
Trubisky and Watson both ran fast 40s and looked good in passing drills. Excellent. Would love to see as many offensive guys as possible slide into the top 28.
There looks to be about 8 TEs in this class that would instantly become the most athletic at the position for GB if drafted.

There are not 8 TEs more athletic than Cook
Chris Godwin from Penn State is tearing it up in Indy.
Another second rounder I'd love to see someone reach for ahead of 29.
If McCaffery is there...(and that's probably a BIG if).....would TT take him? or...would TT move up (just a few picks, nothing major)....would he do that to take McCaffery?
I think TT takes a TE early.
You never know, but my guess would be no. Ted likes to catch underrated guys who haven't hit their ceiling yet in round 1. Kenny Clark is the perfect example, he has tremendous physical skills but hadn't fully developed yet because he was only like 20 when they drafted him. I'm not saying McCaffrey has hit his ceiling, but he was used so much in college that I think what you see is what you're getting. Aside from that we already have a versatile scatback type in Monty and Cobb, if they look at a RB I would think it would be more of a bigger downhill runner like Lacy or Starks.

Yeah, I can't figure this out. I can see drafting one RB 3rd or 4th round but it's not a bad backfield at this point.
TT really needs a win on defense. I think he finally did with Kenny Clark. If he can add one more difference maker it would go a long ways to patching up the D.
Ted can only draft OLB and Saftey in the first round with any skill.
Ted will trade his first pick this year.
My guess is last year was a couple of things.
1. Upcoming free agent o-linemen.
2. TT and scouts didn't see a good year for o-linemen coming up.
I think you're right Bonger. We're obviously a month+ away and things change, but the values at 29 don't appear to be there right now. Ted wants to get his money's worth above all else.
Ted does not like to use draft picks on sub 5-11 DBs. Ted has drafted 13 defensive backs in the last 11 drafts and only 1 of those 13 measured in at under 5-11. That happened to be Randall who missed the mark by only 1/8th of an inch and so far has not lived up to his draft status.
In the late first round area, the cornerback that probably has the best natural cover skills is LSU's TreDavious White. Most websites had listed him at 5-11 and LSU's website listed him at 6-0 this year but he had been listed at 5-11 last year. I didn't think he'd make 5-11 at the combine but he measured in at 5-11 on the nose and now figures to be very much in the mix for the Packer's first round pick.
The following are cornerbacks grading in the first five rounds that did not make the 5-11 mark. I'd be surprised if Thompson drafted any of these players.
Desmond King/Iowa = 5-10
Adoree' Jackson/Southern California = 5-10
Jourdan Lewis/Michigan = 5-10
Damontae Kazee/San Diego State = 5-10
William Likely/Maryland = 5-6 5/8 (will be drafted as return specialist)
Very surprising that there were 22 cornerbacks worth a pick in the first five rounds and 17 of them are 5-11+. Very deep pool for Thompson to pick from.
If Thompson trades down it won't be because value isn't there, it will be because there is so much top-flight talent there that he figures he can get similar quality at a later pick.
For example, if Thompson wants to go cornerback first it wouldn't be surprising if he has as many as 8 cornerbacks graded as first round picks provided 7 of them work out as expected and Tankersley runs better than expected (sub 4.55). The 8 would be Lattimore/Ohio State, Tabor/Florida, Jones/Washington, Humphrey/Alabama, White/LSU, Conley/Ohio State, Wilson/Florida, Tankersley/Clemson.
All the word out of the combine is that Watt does figure to be a late first round pick. Charles Harris, listed at 235 pounds, weighed in at 253 and just ran the 40 in pretty respectable times in the low 4.8's. Thompson may exclude Carl Lawson based on his height (6-1 3/4), but he was an early round two candidate and was just credited with running one of his 40's at 4.68 at 261 pounds. Obviously Takkarist McKinley figures heavily in this area, although Thompson may exclude him medically. All that being said, we'll have to wait until all these players run the short shuttle and 3-cone because Thompson seems to value those numbers more than any other when it comes to evaluating defensive front seven players. But as I type this, it appears that there are least 4 outside linebacker candidates that look like really solid picks at #29.
I am really liking the way this draft shapes up for Green Bay. Only real problem area is if Lang and Tretter both leave, getting a quality guard (or tackle projected to play guard) outside of the first 45 picks looks to be a problem. Also a later round inside linebacker could be hard to find but that's a secondary concern. But CB, OLB, RB, TE...looks like pretty good quality to me.
