Maybe scouting their center Grant Johnson? He can also play guard and seems like Packer People.
Grant Johnson
After spending his childhood working on his grandpa's tree farm and for his dad's construction company, he's never been one to shy away from hard labor.
"That's the only way that I was raised," said Johnson, crediting his parents, Mark and Heather. "I was raised to work hard and earn everything you get. I really think that being a walk-on has made me work harder for this than if I came here on a scholarship. I think that I am blessed to be a walk-on."

He's a machine. Did you expect anything less?
We got Super Bowls to wIn here.

I could see Russell Wilson as a Packer next year, especially if Flynn walks or gets traded. Or maybe he was looking at Josh Oglesby.
Borland.....
....he's kicking himself for missing on taking Watt.

WE NEED A CENTER!
Gravedigger, what round would they take him?

Wells was about as impressive as I've ever seen him Thursday. They could use a C to groom for a couple/few years down the road, but I'd hardly call C a need.
Oglesby isn't even the best player on that line. IMHO JMO he's overrated. I actually liked Devin Smith quite a bit, but he finished the day on crutches.

Sorry, JJSD, I didn't mean NOW, I did mean a backup, a couple years to groom to replace Wells eventually... We don't seem to have much depth there.
I wonder what it would be like to play college ball and have Ted Thompson show up.
I'd guess it would be a mighty promising day for every last player on the roster.
I mean, just think how many times he has made other teams' fans say, "Why didn't we take that guy?"
Who knows who he was looking at. Only Ted. The best in the business.

He would've had to move up 21 spots to take him. He went to Houston with the 11th pick in the 1st round.
He was scouting Jacob Pedersen.
You can never have too many TEs, just too few.

1. Russell Wilson: the entire state of WI has caught Russell-mania. I'm sure TT wanted to see for himself. This kid would look great in green/gold. Packer people.
2. Peter Konz: TT commented during the Badgers' pro day last spring that the best player he saw on film was UW C Peter Konz. Bielema told TT to stay clear, Peter was only a sophomore.
3. TT simply enjoying a beautiful early fall day in The Camp watching the best in the B10. Love the relationahip between the Packers and UW.
TT is always looking, always watching the college kids.

Konz is incredible. That guy can flat out move too.
Gilbert is another guy that may end up being a player.

TT was probably there watching players most people wouldn't even think of.
I think Ted is a football fan
you lost me at "interested in some beavers."
