2011 NFL Draft: Round 2, Pick 32, Overall 64 - Randall Cobb, WR, Kentucky

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.

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!

Added Cobb's twitter account to the first post. Give the newest Packer a follow.

I'm really excited to see this guy play!

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

Championship Belt!

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.



Oh yeah and screw the Lions taking all these good players in the draft

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

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

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

cuz hes made of glass and so is their rb (best)

Packers bite on Cobb in run on skill guys

In 2010, Cobb set the Southeastern Conference season record for all-purpose yards with 2,396, breaking the previous mark of 2,310 yards by Darren McFadden of Arkansas (2007)

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

Randall Cobb ran a 4.46 40 at the combine.
McCluster ran a 4.53

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.
