Packers pick #1---Kenny Clark UCLA DL

[Pokerbrat2000]

Do we need another two down linebacker who cant cover? Good player but not what we need.

Have you watched any film on Ragland?

"Because Jack and Lee are two of a kind in this draft with their tremendous speed and play-making, it's a no-brainer the Packers would take Jack if he went into a free-fall due to his knee and quite possible they'd take Lee over any defensive lineman."

May as well have been Vinny Clark....Ted is suffering from dementia from his years of playing too many concussions

Yeah, he doesn't look like a mack linebacker in this league. He also isn't a play through the blocks kind of guy, makes me think of AJ Hawk. Oh and he has a med problem, enlarged aorta

TT did not wait long to deliver a surprise. Although McGinn called it correctly.

Dont know about that, this guy strikes me as more of a lunch pail player than Raji.

My point being, Raji was strong against the run last season and contributed next to nothing in the passing game. If you look at Clark's tape all he brings in a bull rush. His sacks are clean-up on extended plays.

He will bring more motor than Raji, which is saying something.

 

[Djepacker]

Why is it always the Packers that seem to deliver the biggest reaches the draft?

You bet I have.

Multiple corners and the guard San Fran traded up for seemed like much bigger reaches tonight.

In a perfect world Raji would have stuck around and we would have grabbed Darron Lee. But who else do you take there? Clark is young, has + athletic ability, plays with great leverage(wrestler) and he brings it every snap. I can see why Teddy picked him, but he strikes me as a Clinton Dix type pick more than anything else.

Our opinions obviously differ on Ragland. Check back with each other in 2-3 years lol

yeah watch both Clark and Ragland will both suck.

You're either trying to be funny or don't have a clue what you're talking about....except for the enlarged aorta issue.

If it's true, that would be a concern. But as a football player, you have no idea what you're looking at.

Darron Lee was gone...20th pick to Jets. So you seriously had Lee as a better fit for the Packers then Ragland? Ok.

 

[HardRightEdge]

Darron Lee was gone...20th pick to Jets.

That was very fortunate...in the event Thompson was considering him.

 

[realist4pack]

I don't follow enough of college football to know anything about this guy. I hope he turns out better than most of TT high d line draft picks

was nowhere near the biggest reach and wasn't even that much of a reach

Even all the experts and sports writers didn't see this one coming it's time for Ted to go into retirement

there are several articles in this thread alone where sports writers picked clark

Yes, he projects better as a cover guy who can play sideline to sideline. Lee fits the teams needs better. Come on Poker I said "in a perfect world."

Except for.. you know.. Bob McGinn.

Darron Lee? That would have been a big mistake. Weak side 4-3 where you can hide him the run game, maybe.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

You bet I have.

Now you.....I believe lol

There's a cut up of the Arkansas game on youtube. Take a look at the last play with Ragland in coverage on Henry then come back and tell me what you think. Put Darron Lee in a disciplined role and you won't have much of a football player.

Yeah, hate this decision. Clark wasn't even the #1 defensive lineman. What else to expect from Thompson.

They didn't see Randall either last year.

The experts and sports writers, even Kiper, don't do anywhere near the work that TT and NFL GMs do with evaluating guys. Their opinion alone isn't a good way to judge a pick.
