2013 NFL Draft Discussion Thread(2)

Ogletree is the only one I like.

I've never wanted Minter, ever.

I think Te'o would be a fine player but I'd just rather not be the team to find out.


What didn't you like about Manning, I have a good idea of what but I want to know more.

Felt he was slow to react and just looked confused.

[Berliner]

I don't think it's incredibly likely but still possible.

I'm not one who's down on our ILBs really. I actually like them quite a bit but it wouldn't blow my mind if someone nice was sitting there and he pulled the trigger.

The idea of Te'o is starting to scare me.


BTW, I think Manning could be that coverage linebacker. Am I nuts? I don't even mean in a couple years. Like now. I still think he plays so much faster than his timed speed. I scratch my head over that 40 all the time.

He wanted to be a Packer. He ran a slow 40 so the Packers can pick him in the late 4th round. lol

How about this Rambo guy, havent heard much about him. But this article intrigued me a little.

I really didn't like Manning out of college so I'm kind of sitting back and waiting to see on him. I think Te'o and Bishop would work well together. Te'o is a guy that needs lanes to be free to make a play in the run game. Very instinctive player but struggles to shed blockers. So if we draft him it's more important for us to keep Raji around.

Other than Te'o we got Ogletree who is a bit of a dope head but he covers extremely well and one of the more athletic ILBs. However, he's worse than Te'o at shedding blockers.

Minter is basically Hawk. I don't see another ILB worthy of a 1st or even a 2nd.

This is the same view I have of Te'o I think he would be a great match with Bishop. I know everyone is down on his pro-day but, I have been saying and I even heard Mike Mayock say it a couple of times, its hard to judge a player by the numbers they put up in the combine. Yes, Te'o disappeared against Alabama but, he did put up a heck of a season before that.

I think we shoot for an ILB within the first two rounds even after Hawk Restructured. I say this because I know Francios agent said that he was told when he re-signed that it would be an open competition for starting ILB which tells me they definitely are looking for someone else to step it and most likely rotate in with Hawk and Bishop.

I wish the guy was a hitter as we need a hard hitting run support Safety that also can get to the QB.
~
He said he is not a hitter and that is why he thinks of himself as the QB of the Defense which means he should not be hit

Love his name Rambo)))

I still find this kind of weird. I personally thought he shed blocks really well and in the last few weeks I've seen multiple sites claim he is the best or 2nd best in this draft at shedding blocks.

I'm honestly not a big Te'o fan but am a huge Ogletree fan. I don't think they will even be in the same class in the NFL. I find him to be a top 10 talent with tremendous upside while other ILB's in this draft are boarderline 1st. I'd be stunned if Ogletree somehow fell to GB.

Te'o is solid playing the run and good in pass pro but his speed has to make people wonder if he can cover at the next level against bigger and faster competition. I also just don't even want to hear about the drama surrounding Te'o. Any team that drafts him will have to deal with it. Most of all I wonder how he will do in a locker room full of guys fn around with him.

I guess I should add that my 2nd favorite ILB prospect has to be Arthur Brown. I'm very surprised he is only considered a late first rd talent...

He has kind of flown under the radar(A bit I guess) but I like him. I would love for Green Bay to grab him in the draft. He will probably go late 2nd early 3rd IMO. This draft is deep at safety so there are plenty of options if GB sees fit. Cyprien has consistently been my favorite but Rambo is up there also. I didn't read the article but he has laid some big hits in his career. He has the size to do it also.

Great instincts and I put very little into his combine times as this kids nerves were shot anyhow, yes brought on by himself for following into a scam. In which I could have cared a less about because the only person it directly effected was him himself and that is not a crime..
~
I am also going to give him a lot of credit for not having his head in the Alabama game as this whole dead girlfriend thing was crumbling down My head would have been further from the game as well knowing I am about to be exposed for falling for a Man dude Girlfriend

Such a weird situation. I'm still not against saying I believe he was apart of the scandal. Who knows. Maybe I'm just not as trustworthy but I still find some things very weird. Not a big deal for us though. If he thought it was going to help his career he was wrong. So far all it has done is lost him millions. I guess as of now only a few people know the truth which leaves the rest of us to speculate. I'm just so over Te'o that I REALLY don't want GB to draft him.

True your right the only one that knows the truth about the actual scandal is him, I do believe he knew way before he said but that goes to the nature of the only person he hurt was his own image.

I believe he is going to have a successful career in the NFL. Do I think he will be drafted by the Packers if he is still on the board? I can see TT taking him if we drop out of the first round and into the early 2nd.

One of my favorites in the draft. If he didn't get into trouble I think he'd be a late 1st-early 2nd. I'm all for the Packers taking him.

I've seen a couple of times him laying the wood. It's not consistent but if you remember Collins kind of developed into a hard hitter. He is more of a cover S though. Ed Reed type of guy.

I still find this kind of weird. I personally thought he shed blocks really well and in the last few weeks I've seen multiple sites claim he is the best or 2nd best in this draft at shedding blocks.

When I get some time I'll look into it and re-evaluate it. If I still believe the same way I'll try to explain it.
