Re: Green Bay sucks (4.12.11 - 9.10.15)

Randall Cobb
Green Bay Packers
Round 2, Pick 64
SI Grade
2.87
Grading System
Position: WR
Class: 3Jr
School: Kentucky
Conference: Southeastern
HT: 5-10.5
WT: 191
40 Time: 4.46
Biography: Full-time starter the past two seasons after seeing
limited action with the first team as a freshman. All-Conference
selection after his sophomore and junior campaigns and named an
All-American in 2010. Receiving totals last season included
84/1017/7 when he also added 424 yards and five touchdowns on
the ground. Averaged 7.8 yards on 28 punt returns with
additional score as well as 23.7 yards on 41 kick returns.
Sophomore totals included 39/447/4 receiving and 573/10 rushing.
Averaged 12.8 yards on 44 punt returns with another score that
season.
Positives: "Versatile skill player who positively affects the
offense in a variety of ways. Shows terrific quickness, has a
burst of speed, and is dynamic handling the ball. Fluid receiver
who comes back to the pass out of breaks, easily adjusts to the
errant throw, and possesses both soft and strong hands. Quickly
transitions from making the catch to running after the
reception, shows a burst of speed, and has the ability to create
yardage in the open field. Quick footed and elusive, displays
terrific explosiveness, and plays with intelligence. Effective
running reverses, alters the momentum of games as a return
specialist, and occasionally lined up behind center in wildcat
formations."
Negatives: Not a true deep threat. Really cannot run to the long
pass.
Analysis: Cobb has been tremendously productive on the college
level since stepping onto the field as a freshman for Kentucky.
He's a multipurpose offensive threat with the skills to be a
second receiver and return man on the NFL level.
Projection: 2nd

Green Bay Packers Draft Grade
Sean Gardner/Getty Images Picks: OT Derek Sherrod, WR Randall
Cobb, RB Alex Green
The Packers make a safe, conservative pick by drafting one of
our top offensive tackles in Derek Sherrod. Sherrod can replace
Chad Clifton at left tackle in the next two seasons.
Randall Cobb is a dynamic player who can make plays in the run
game, passing game and on special teams. He's a Percy
Harvin-like talent.
Alex Green is a pick we really like. He's a big back with speed
who fits the Packers offense. He wasn't used right at Hawaii.
The Packers will use him right.
Grade: A

Just a quick check-in post before I hit the road to the in-laws.
Quite pleased with the top 4 in the draft, the rest will prove
out only with time. Impossible not to notice that the Packers do
not neglect to factor in character big-time with their picks as
per past history - no issues with any so far and Sherrod seems
to be outstanding.

I couldn't leave w/o commenting on Dan Lauria's LOMBARDI cameo
while announcing the Elmore pick. I saw the Broadway play a few
weeks ago and it was rivetting. Great move by GB.

Super Bowl champs even stronger on offense
Dennis Dillon
The picks are in -- all 254 -- from the NFL Draft. No one knows
when there will be an on-field sighting for these lads.
Unfortunately, that decision is in the hands of the courts
instead of coaches.
But you want instant analysis. Here are five teams we believe
helped themselves the most.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa’s youth movement continues to look
promising. To complement their young playmakers on offense, the
Bucs added pass rushers in DEs Adrian Clayborn and Da’Quan
Bowers, and a productive MLB in Mason Foster.
“I think we have a system in place,” coach Raheem Morris said.
“Our whole deal is about playing fast, playing hard, playing
smart and playing together.”
Green Bay Packers. Is it possible their already potent offense
could become even more dynamic? It is if WR-KR Randall Cobb, RB
Alex Green and TE D.J. Williams perform up to expectations.
Williams, last year’s Mackey Award winner, and Jermichael Finley
could give the Super Bowl champs a productive tandem much like
New England’s young duo of Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.
Detroit Lions. Coach Jim Schwartz’s team had only five
selections, but it made the most of them. WR Titus Young and RB
Mikel Leshoure add more firepower. Nick Fairley, paired with
Ndamukong Suh, last year’s defensive rookie of the year, gives
the Lions two formidable tackles.
“What you want to do is match the players’ talent with what
you’re going to ask them to do,” Schwartz told ESPN, “and also
have the discipline to take the best player on the board that
fits that.”
New England Patriots. They didn’t take many marquee players, but
the Patriots plucked nine prospects, including Ryan Mallett, the
potential successor to Tom Brady. And the forward-looking
Patriots did enough dealing to get themselves two picks in each
of the first two rounds next year.
