We got a second last year which I believe Gute turned into Reed, Wicks and Brooks as well. All of that with no leverage! 

Still have two more late picks to go to complete the trade after the trade down at #41

He had 8 ******* sacks at ILB?

How was he available?

Chris Orr from badgers had 8 or 9 under Leonhard from ilb..,  I love Cooper though..

I kinda talked myself out of Cooper the past few weeks thinking we needed a "safer" guy like Colson. But man when you look at this guy again, it is easy to get excited. You basically just added another Quay flying around on defense. If the coaches can harness that, it's going to be fun to watch.

This is a guy that I would have been just fine with taking at 25.  Not the premium position but one where we lacked depth that we were confident in.  With the addition of Cooper and Hopper to Quay, this is a very fast line backer unit.  Now it is up to Hafley to make it work.  Cooper at 41 may have been the most commonly mocked pick for the Packers.  Have to love the fit and the potential.  We even got him with a slight trade down.

So is Quay going to take the leap to being good, now that there's (at least) two 2nd linebackers coming to take his job? I have to think that was part of the equation here. I liked the Cooper pick, really didn't like the Hopper pick, but if there's an iron sharpen iron thing going on then maybe this all works out and the three make each other better.
