Will I miss the memes? Yes. But the amount of commercials and the speed of picks already is enough content. I’d rather have a guaranteed 2 minutes of prospect coverage for each selection than the mistimed in home shots and green room vanity. If you miss the 15 minutes per pick gimme a hell yeah. I'd be happy if they spent less time with the "show" and more on player coverage. I could do without the 2nd rnd gimmicks and the 3rd day GM interviews and just keep talking about the players. Same goes for the Combine. It's maddening to have the players working out on the field and instead of talking about the prospects they have a player/GM/coach/celebrity in the booth talking nonsense for 20 minutes at a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Lofton Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 what I want to know is...what do you think of NATE WIGGINS, aka Twiggins? And are you drink'n the KOOL-AID? I'm assuming there's a 50/50 chance we "likely" take a cornerback with our first round pick. I say, "likely" because both TT and his protege Gute, have a track record of tricking the packer faithful. Either way I'm expecting Terrion Arnold, Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean to all be off the board at pick 25. I also hope we don't trade up because I love players in rounds 2 and 3 this year, I think it is the sweet spot for several kickass players. So with that being said, are you on board with the Pack selecting either Wiggins or Kool-Aid? Personally I'm starting to warm up to both, but I'm leaning towards Kool-Aid because after Erik Stokes and Kevin King and even Jaire to an extent being injury prone, I don't want a skinny guy manning the boundary. So my hope is we take Kool-Aid. I think he is a good player who I expect to be a starting caliber corner who will hopefully have a long a productive career in the NFL. I don't need a hall of famer. I just want someone who can play solid and help us get to the super bowl. But hay, Darrekke Revis was picked at spot 24, so I can dream. Okay, let me know what you think?

Honestly I don't want either of them. Wiggins is only 173lbs soaking wet and can't tackle. Pass. I'd be on board with Kool Aid but a little worried about the Jones fracture in his foot. Guess he had the surgery and it is healing well. Still though it's a concern. If he indeed checks out medically I guess it would be OK. Might be a little early at #25 but trading back a few spots and scoring a 4th I'd be cool with it. Much rather grab some talent on the OL. There is good depth at CB in the middle rounds. So if we don't go CB early there will be plenty of opportunities to add to the group later on. That's my take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the 2 day draft, 15 minutes per pick 1st round so bad, bro. Those were the days. Unfortunately, even with less prospects invited and less cameras in the homes, I’ll bet the coverage won’t be any less fluffy. Day 3 will still be the talking heads ignoring pick after pick to talk about the 4-5 first QBs taken and which players’ suffered tragic parental deaths vs. analyzing anything from the college tape. There will be ads during every Packers pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be paying attention now actually to what kind of commercials they hit us specifically with. Alcohol is at +200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReasonablySober Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Anything is possible, but it would be pretty weird to bring in nothing but RT only prospects for visits if you weren't considering moving Tom inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
