The 2012 draft was so odd for us. The draft for need approach over BPA was obvious going all defense the first six picks. Probably missed on Perry/Worthy, but hit on Hayward/Daniels. Meanwhile McMillian was an epic flop.

I feel like there's still hope for Perry, but Worthy is probably all but done. Hope both can still contribue

I'd like to see Bradford and Hubbard beat out Perry and if I had a little sister I'd want her to beat out Brad Jones. Sorry i just thought I'd throw that out there. McMillian was definitely epically bad.

I know its the 90th man, but I don't get it why we need another WR

Well... he was barely productive at Towson. So, there's that.

I think TE will be just fine with as I said before Bostick and Rogers getting most of the work. ILB is by far the teams weakest position.

I think Lacy is going to have a ridiculous season.

I'm with you in still having some hope for Perry, but i'll be somewhat surprised if Worthy even just makes the team, much less is a contributor of any significance.

I thought Worthy was going to be a really good DT for us since he dominated in college. He's definitely one of the most disappointing picks of the TT era. Probably right behind Justin Harrell.

So Adams seems like the real deal. Packers FB profile just posted a sick one handed catch he had today.

Really excited to see #17 running routes alongside #18 this season

Nelson/Cobb/Boykin/Adams/Abby/Harper

That's how I'm leaning at this point with Janis having contributed nothing. He might be better served with a season on PS..

They've got Dorsey in the starting KOR unit... He may be the #5 or 6 receiver.

He might be by the end of training camp, but there's a bunch of guys that are getting mixed in with the first units to see how they'd do.

This year is the first year they have a ton of vets in the ST units this early. It surprised some of the beat writers on Twitter.

Maybe they finally are taking ST more seriously - we've been historically bad

When have we been historically bad? I would guess they're a little below average.

chuckleslove · Post #76 » by **chuckleslove** » Fri Aug 1, 2014 2:00 pm

Last year we were one of the top units until injuries started to decimate the team making everything get shifted all over.

Abby out with an unknown injury.

Coach Mike McCarthy has produced a Super Bowl championship, six playoff appearances and a 63.1% winning mark, but his special teams have never been great and too often have been substandard.
Based on The Dallas Morning News' in-depth yearly ratings of special-teams performance, Green Bay ranks 28th among the 32 teams in collective average over McCarthy's eight seasons.
Last year, the Packers slipped from 12th to 19th in the Morning News' survey. The performance earned special teams a D-plus from the Journal Sentinel, their fifth overall grade of D compared with three grades of B from 2006-'13.

yeah that would. I guess the only positive is they have a ton of depth at wr. Feel bad for Abby if it's true.
