ONLINE QUIZ: Test your Packers' draft trivia knowledge

5/10

Guys who are sort of like Nick Collins would be Marqueston Huff of Wyoming or David Van Dyke of Tennessee State. Small school, undersized, fast. It's crazy to think there's a Nick Collins in every draft and these two are unlikely to be that good.

 

So if there is a Nick Collins in this draft, he's probably even shorter and nobody is taking him serious at all regardless of school. Larmarcus Joyner could be that guy.

Like getting the Johnnya Z perspective on midgets.

 

Joyner is a french fry taller than Antonio Chatman

 

 

If all of our 6'-plus safeties last year were half as good at playing safety as Antonio Chatman was at playing WR, it would have been a team with a safety.

 

I forgot about your dedication to Antonio 'Get to the 20 and fall forward for 5 feet' Chatman.  

 

I really think you should consider this for your avatar:

 

Actually if you go back and look, I said Antonio Chatman was an average smurf WR. He was way better than the absolutely horrible tall Packer WRs who could not beat him out. Aaron Rodgers said nice things about him, as did Favre. Why? Because he was obviously effective on a team that sucked at WR.

 

And now we have Randall Cobb, who according to my critics back then, should not be on the team. Lol. DO you want to cut him because he is too short for the Packers' offense?

Considering Cobb was 14 then, your critics were correct

My critics were dead wrong. TT took a WR under 6', and he came up big in winning a Super Bowl. His name is Greg Jennings. Everybody kept saying Jennings was too slow and too short to play WR in the Packer offense. Before the draft I said he was a great fit for the Packer WCO. LMAO.

 

 

That's right. He did. I remember that.

Mayock says 6 WR's are going in round 1. We might get a shot at Cooks.

Isn't Johnnya the same one that was humping for Randy Moss then Terrell Owens. 

Jennings is not under 6'.

 

 

 

Rodgers wants a TE - Kansas Power Forward Tarik Black

 

 

Jennings is slightly under 6'.  Linky

Tall Smurf

6'

 

6'

 

 

 

I think at the combine, Jennings might have been measured at 5' 11-3/4"

 

He's listed at 6'0" on nfl.com

 

He IS tall enough to ride the internet!

Greg was 6' in GB. He's smaller now. Playing in Minnesota will do that to you. 

CJ is right.

 

Current Packers WRs

  J.Nelson - 6'3"

  R.Cobb - 5'10"

  J.Boykin - 6'2"

  M.White - 6'0"

 

  K.Dorsey - 6'1"

  A.Gillet - 6'1"

  C.Harper - 6'1"

 

Big and strong is what today's NFL needs. I don't think it's a stretch to say that Cobb thrives because he knows the game better than most due to his QB days. The game winner vs CHI in week 17 is all the evidence I need to see his smarts.

 

 

 

Cobb thrives in the GB O because he brings a unique skill set that the others don't.  That doesn't mean a WR corps filled with cobbs would be better.  He thrives partially because of what Nelson, Jones and now Boykin can do in their roles.

He thrives because Cobb is a QB playing the WR position. He's in the QB meetings with Rodgers. He reads the defense just like Rodgers. As a combo they're deadly. 

 

An entire receiving corps of Randall Cobb's would mean we would win 99% of our games. Unstoppable offense.

So TT should draft a bunch of short QBs and convert them to WR! 

I don't care which 11 are playing defense. I don't care what scheme those 11 are playing. If you have a QB like Rodgers and a WR as good at working his way through a defense as Cobb there's no effing way you're stopping this:

 

 

Ahem.  Not everyone loverpants.  

Is Johnny Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz   really Johnny Manzzzzzzzzziel??

He's Juanny Zamboni!  The rootin'est tootin'est smurf lover this side of the Pecos!

I have always been a big little Johnny Zzzzzzz fan.

 

At least the Zzzzzz man makes good points and backs his **** up.  

 

Glad to see you back around zzzzzzzzzzzzz

I honestly believe Atlanta is going to empty the pick vault once again to jump to number 1 to grab Clowney. I can't decide if Texan GM Bob McNair is a dumbass or a shifty SOB. I'm leaning toward chatty dumbass. If the Texans really don't want Clowney they could get a stud OL or Ebron at 6 and a QB at 33 on top of what Atlanta hands over. 

 

The draft is infinitely more enjoyable because the league is full of incompetent GMs. 

 

 

I hope TT makes JZ and all Packer fans happy by taking Odell Beckham.  No history of TT taking a WR in the 1st but I can dream. I think he will be long gone anyways.

 

Frisco has a bunch of picks and I see them jumping ahead of their playoff nemesis GB, to take a wideout or corner.

 

If TT can't get Beckham, I hope it's Fuller. Williams in last year and you never have too many corners playing against the tall boys in the NFC North.

Atlanta jumping to 1 for Clowney would be silly. They're in a good position to grab one of the LTs if Mack goes earlier and grab a guy like Attachihuahua in the second.

 

I'd be cool with Fuller or one of the top corners in the first. TT has predominantly taken box players (sans Rodgers) in the first but whatever. Tramon played well when they played more man late last year but he's no spring chicken and with that final year of his contract thing...

What Atlanta gave up for Julio Jones was silly. Sometimes bad decisions force more bad decisions to try and justify bad decisions. Giving up what they did for Jones in 2011 after being the number one playoff seed in 2010 and then having the 6th pick in the draft in 2014 might call for desperate measures if the guy they think they need won't be there at 6.

the 49ers seem to have a lot of interest in Beckham. Wouldn't be surprised if they trade into the top 15 to get him.

 

Beckham at 21 would be a steal. 

Ted isn't drafting a WR in the 1st in a draft loaded at WR. Mosley is the pick if he's there. 

If Mosley is there at 21 there is a chance the rumors that he has some medical issues may be correct. Ted will then also pass on him.

Eddie Lacy is a Packer because of medical issue rumors. Ted trusts McKenzie.

I hope SF trades away picks for a WR in the first after losing Goldson and Whitner and Culliver involved in a blatant hit and run case and leaves that secondary a mess. Their issues in the secondary are a huge reason they had to pick up Aldon Smith's 5th year option IMO.

I'd love to see SF trade up for a WR.

Said to my friend (Niner fan) The Niners will trade up in front of Green Bay to draft Brandin Cooks. Niners win again!

Stop giving the other teams ideas, Boris. 

Uncle Ted might call Whiners offering 21 for less than Cravens want for #17.
