[QUOTE="net, post: 445721, member: 200"] Looking back now on this thread several days after the draft I'm sorry to say I'm not all that thrilled about Perry. What you look for is an athlete who can convert those skills to the faster and bigger pro game. Perry has the physical skills no doubt....for a 4-3 defensive end which is what he was in college. It really concerns me he never played a down in college at linebacker. Those skills are not necessarily interchangeable. You will see teams set up plays to mark him as a target in coverage. It shows me why the Packers signed Walden before the draft. They are covered if and when Perry's cover skills come around. He will be a situational blitzer. Clay Matthews played linebacker, not defensive end, at USC. So this pick has me more worried than the rest of them. I hope he can make the transition and become a Woodley...but trying to make a DE into a linebacker isn't always successful. Getting Worthy in the second round also takes some of the pressure off. I thought rounds two and three for the Packers were home runs. [/QUOTE]
