I can't remember the last time there's ever been a draft this strong at pass rusher. It's insane.

So we're gonna draft Nolan Smith huh?

Those measurables will move him up our board to be sure.

Not sure what's up with his vertical, but great measureables. Huge hands and long arms. Faster and more agile than some QB's out there weighing 50 lbs less. cough cough

IF the Packers do move on from Rogers, I'd bet there's going to be 3-4 QB's in early camp, maybe more, vying for the back up role. One will probably be some caretaker vet and then somebody for the practice team. Sound about right?

Definitely a vet backup and rookie third QB
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

JSN and Kincaid in particular would be incredible adds.

I'd be shocked if Mariota isn't on this roster if Rodgers leaves. And Benkert seems like a decent enough back up if we don't see something we like in the draft.

I'd be nervous as hell taking Ringo anywhere in the 1st, but his upside is so huge. Think he's going to blow up the combine.

ETA: Or not!

Brian Branch just ran a 4.58 40 on his first try. I know alot of you guys like him in the 1st round but we need more speed out of a 1st round DB.

Hopefully he does better on his 2nd try but I kind of doubt it. He got absolutely destroyed by Jalin Hyatt in the Alabama Tennessee game.

Eh, it's probably gonna hit his draft stock a bit but guys that ran a 4.50 or slower at the combine:

Tyrann Mathieu
Adrian Amos
Harrison Smith
Micah Hyde
Quandre Diggs
Jordan Poyer
Glover Quinn

I don't think it's that big of a deal.

I don't think it's that big of a deal.

There is a big difference between running a 4.50 and 4.58. Every single guy you listed ran the 40 faster than Branch. Not only that, but Branch is only 193 pounds while some of those guys on your list out weigh him by 20 pounds. A 4.58 40 for a 193 pound guy is very unimpressive.

I'm not saying Branch can't be successful in the NFL. I just wouldn't want to take that chance in the 1st round.
