Brown, Callahan, Dorleant. Pikula is intriguing because Seatlle kept talking to him during the draft. Pete may be a dick but he knows how to spot linebackers. GB needs to give him a long hard look.
My pick is S Kentrell Brice. He's definitely got NFL measurables.
My plan 'B' pick is the TE David Grinnage.

No. Brown.
Grinnage is too slow, the author of the article had a "third round grade" on Brown & he goes undrafted? Brice, not unlike Brown seemed to be more highly regarded going into the season, than he was at it's conclusion. Saw somewhere where he was mentioned in the top 200 prospects in preseason.
The draft is all about where your opponents are going to take a player.
If the other 31 teams, didn't think he was draft-able, why would TT burn a pick on him? Even if "he had a 3rd round grade" on him?
Sam Shields wasn't drafted either. That worked out.
Sam was a WR that couldn't catch the ball. The coaches converted him to a CB
What I found fascinating is how Martell the punter is supposed to be an excellent holder for field goals. He'll need to keep Mason accurate and knock Ginger out of his job. I think it is time to make a change at punter.
Linked the article not because of some wannabe draft geeks consensus score, but because of the noted high interest by Ted back in Jan. Only Ted's grade matters.

Why? Masthay has been solid as a holder and is a very good punter.

The point I was trying to make is not that we should have drafted him but rather 1)This is an example of how far off some of these draft gurus are off (found another service that had him as a 4th rounder) or 2) Why did he drop? .

Way too inconsistent last year. Check the numbers in comparison to the rest of the league.
Masthay's numbers were actually very good last season, but that was due more to excellent coverage.

Actually, Sam played CB his last year at Miami.

Agree, he was only 25th in average yards per punt, but 13th in average net yards per punt.

Very good is a stretch, but as a holder he's been money.
Remember what happened to the Queens when they switched holders? Walsh went from terrific to terrible. Sure, Crosby isn't a youngster any more, but he's had his bad stretch also. Keeping the kicker happy is maybe (probably?) the most important job the punter has in Green Bay.
The punter also needs to point out good restaurants in Green Bay.
FB Alstevis Squirewell
Gotta be the best name in any teams camp right now.
I like the guy! Another SC kid from the Newberry powerhouse. He goes by "Alstevis Fatt Bakk Squirewell" on his facebook page. Great name for a Fullback!
Running back Don Jackson could be best of Packers' undrafted rookies
Interesting piece from Demovsky where he talks to a scout about the best of the Packers UDFAs.
Fact check alert. Rob says that at 6'3-1/4" Geronimo Allison is the currently the tallest person on the Packers roster. Pretty sure Peppers is 6'7". Just off the top of my head.
Bad editing. Surely meant to read tallest wide receiver.
Allison peaks my interest. I was at the Illini/Badger game this year and he looked like a decent player. His size being his most obvious attribute. He made some nice catches. I am interested to see if he can stick with the team.
