DakotaT;349953Isn't your expertise reading poetry to fat girls?

bwahahaha.

Bigbyfan;349954Don't know who Josh Billings is , but Andrew Billings is pretty good :)

Honestly I wanted Ragland with the pick, but mainly I wanted a front seven pick. We got ourselves a powerful NT who is only 20 years old. He still has room to grow. I like it

Rofl...oops.

Anyone else notice this...

SOURCES TELL US "What bothers me about Clark is that he was so much better against weaker competition than he was against better talent. I like him, but not like everyone is hyping him up." --­ AFC Pac-12 scout

He'll fit right in.

Can't remember exactly whom it was, but I heard a couple of so-called experts on t.v. saying that "...One of the reasons Myles Jack had such a great college career was because he played behind Kenny Clark".
I don't follow UCLA football that much, so I don't really know, but I like this pick.

Go Packers!

isocleas2;349949I wanted a D-lineman and this is who the Packers feel is going to be the guy so I'm pretty happy. I thought he was the more conservative higher floor lower ceiling type, but he's still young enough that maybe he can develop into a stud.

I don't know who has the higher upside when it comes to these guys.
My first reaction is this is a typically TeddyT move.
The kid is only 20.
It seems like Ted is banking on him growing into the position after a year or two.
Which must be why he took him earlier than others expected him to go.

What would draft day be like if we don't question what was Teddy thinking?

Just saw a state where he averaged a bull rush pressure every 24 snaps. That is the 2nd best among all interior linemen in the draft. Hopefully he can help collapse the pocket for our outside rushers.

Packers select UCLA defensive tackle Kenny Clark in first round

General manager Ted Thompson had a wealth of choices at his disposal after marquee inside linebackers (Myles Jack, Reggie Ragland) and defensive linemen (Jarran Reed, A'Shawn Robinson, Vernon Butler) were still available.

But Thompson, overseeing his 12th draft as GM, opted for Clark, a two-year starter for the Bruins who finished his career with 159 tackles (20 for loss) and 6.5 sacks.

"He's innately tough, strong and mature," a scout said.

Added another scout: "I think he can rush the passer. He is an outstanding defensive tackle."

They sure need a strong DT and they got one.
I am sure tired of watching RBs bust up the middle for 8-12 yards.

So we need to draft 9 LBs next because they are all going to get injured?

I won't lie. I wanted Jack. He can tackle, cover, and would have added a potential game changer to the defense. But with Raji "retired," I think DT was a legitimate need. He looks like he can play right away. He is also only 20 so I suspect he will continue to grow. The last DT with a wrestling background we took seemed to turn out okay (Mike Daniels).

I wonder what the second round will bring. If Jack or Ragland continue to slip, maybe we could move up and snag one of them. I'm not sure Ragland can play on third down so I prefer Jack.

The fact that Jack fell completely out of the 1st round draft means that knee is serious. I feel bad for the guy.
