Message: <blockquote data-quote="TJV" data-source="post: 444463" data-attributes="member: 4300">To echo what PackersDraft posted, IMO the best reason to be optimistic about this kid is Thompson and staff determined he was worth the trade-up. Regarding his size, if he is an ILB he’s listed at the same height and one pound lighter than Bishop, same height as Lattimore and heavier, and 3 inches taller than DJ Smith and two pounds lighter. I mention this only regarding his size for ILB.  Also as already mentioned, Thompson and staff are very good at finding UFDAs who contribute. I believe the average is something like 1 per year sticking on the roster. And of course they have two seventh rounders to pick too. So I suggest fellow Packers not to be too disappointed about the lack of an OL, RB or QB until you see the entire class.  In response to Chad Reuter’s mock draft (which I posted) this week, I commented, “I’ll be amazed if the first 5 picks are on the defensive side of the ball. Not disappointed, but amazed.” Mea culpa as we’re at 6 defenders and counting. Color me amazed ... but not disappointed.</blockquote>
