[Kitten]

I'm really happy about this pick! A returner was one of the positions on my wish list!!! This will help us with special teams and help us gain good field pos!!! That was worth the wait, T.T.! Good eye! :happy0005:

From Jay Glazer's Twitter - "Also, pick of kentucky wr randall cobb...The 1 guy every single coach and GM said is the single greatest kid to have in locker room in draft"

And I've heard that Sherrod was a great guy, hard worker and 4.0 GPA in grad school.

JJ is as good as gone now.

He was gonna sign a contract today but he couldnt hold onto the pen.

I saw the highlights, and the first thing I thought was " Greg Jennings clone"...boy, I sure hope so! I like the pick!

its a WR, chances are its going to be a year or 2 before we get a good idea if he can be an impact player so lets hope no snap judgments

 

[Boy Scout]

Championship Belt!

 

[Wood Chipper]

it may be a year till he is a consistent receiver for us (see starks) but he can make an impact as a returner that doesnt require knowing as much.

Normally takes three years for a WR to shine. You're right about an instant impact as a returner though.

I'm so happy we took Randall Cobb. This was a dream pick of mine coming into the draft. He can do it all. He played WR, RB, QB, and returner in college. He was good at everything and a menace in the open field. We are set with pass catchers for a long time. Ted Thompson is a genius.

To top it off, I went to grade school in the 4th and 5th grade where Cobb grew up! He was a year or 2 younger than me but we went to the same school. My neighbor played on his midget football team.
This is a VERY EXCITING day for me. Packers got a lot better by taking a plyer I went to school with.

Lions keep drafting offensive players but they dont have an offensive line

 

[PackersRS]

I just love this pick. Love it. See the highligh reel, at 3:00, the guy turns into Barry Sanders.

 

[Rodgers2Finley4TDs]

they also don't have a QB that I'm scared of.

Packers bite on Cobb in run on skill guys

As the second round of the draft wound down Friday night, the offensive skill players started disappearing from the board. The Packers remained patient, then added to that run at the ?glamour spot...

Percy Harvin, Dexter mcluster?? Lol a poor mans version of them maybe. A slow and small kick returner in the second round? Questionable but tt knows best

He's not slow.

He has average top-end speed, but he's explosive.

And kick returner was one of our biggest needs. Has been for years, imo.

Most in his size range have elite speed. second round is a bit of a stretch for an average speed returner no? No doubt we need a returner but I feel like that's the easiest spot to fill. But only time will tell I hope the kid works out. We have a dynasty brewing ppl. I just think we coulda done alot more than a returner in the second but I've learned my lesson doubting tt so I'll just be happy with it

LOL @ he is slow

If I were to rate his speed in Madden it'd look like this:
Speed: 91, Acceleration: 98

Video gamers know what I'm talking about.
