He switched from OLB to ILB last year where he was before. Looking at his video, he looks like he attracts a lot of blocks and tries too hard. Hopefully, Packers can break him down and work on his movement.

Packers will Matt Flynn his ass. Someone will give up a mid round pick for him in a few years. Best GM in football continues to be the best gm.

They're really good at picking wide receivers so this should be good for them.

Only a matter of time until old man Rodgers is sent off to pasture with the Jets.

Would be 100% in favor of that. Favre was awesome as a Jet until he sent a chick some dick pics and then hurt his arm. The 12 games we get out of Rodgers would be as equally awesome.

I am extremely pleased with the Jaguars draft so far. I thought they would have to get Greene in the 4th round, but ended up getting him in the 5th.
Priority free agents. That is about it.
Edit: Based on who visited with them and who they worked out.
Edit #2: Thomas Rawls is a name being thrown around, but I don't think he visited the Cowboys.

Nobody in the Cowboys war room seemed to care when Ajayi was selected. I guess they weren't joking when they said that rb wasn't a priority in this draft.

UCF UCF UCFNice pick, Indy.
Don't worry. George O'Leary runs a tight ship down in Orlando. Vast majority of players actually have their shit together.

"It was a surprise for me," Thompson said. "I don't even know how to explain it right now. After the numbers I put up this year, I thought free agency was going to be the main goal, probably." He also said the Giants were the only team that brought him in for a pre-draft visit
Never a great sign when the guy you drafted honestly thought there was no shot he was getting drafted.

5th round .....I mean these are the picks you use to take chances on guys you feel are a team fit. I have no issue with it.

Bill must be a lot more confident in his corners than any other analyst. Not sure about any players picked today. I'm happy about the FSU guard. He'll be a great fit next to stork.
Everybody else... well we'll see how adjust to the next level. Bill is betting on smarts and leadership.

exactly. a lot of question marks on the line:
1. brandon thomas. he will obviously be a better pass blocker than iupati (which i think almost anyone in the NFL could be) but can he get at the same level in run blocking (at which iupati was elite)?
2. is alex boone going to play like he did in 2012-2013 (one of the better RG's in the league) or like he did in 2014 (arguably the worst RG in the league via stats OR the eye ball test)
3. who will start at center and will they suck dick (as they both did) last year? i had high hopes for marcus martin but he really disappointed. i understand he was hurt early and missed a lot of time so i'm not completely giving up on him but he needs to do better. kilgore was better than martin but got pushed around pretty easily from what i saw early in the year. who knows how he comes back from a broken leg
4. is anthony davis going to be able to stay healthy? has he learned to deal with the speed rush yet? will boone sucking dick drastically affect Davis (as it did when we had another trash RG chilo rachal)?
5. i'm not worried about joe staley. had some up's and down's last year, as most lineman do, but overall i felt that he was solid and still a top 10 LT all around
6. I'm glad we signed Eric Pears from the bills. not a flashy signing but good for depth. beyond him, what do we have for depth? joe looney? some young guys we haven't seen yet will have to step up
i still feel like we would have been best served trading alex boone for a bag of flamin' hot cheetos and drafting a guard early. boone d oesn't want to be here and you can tell by his shitty play. he is going to get kap or someone else hurt. oh well

I don't have any issue with it either, just thought it was interesting. Giants obviously targeted a guy nobody else was really looking to get. Could work out great for them, probably wont work out at all which is the case for the overwhelming majority of 5th round picks.
I do have a problem with as his track record has been pretty brutal in anything past the second for a long time now.
