2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Safeties (part three)

And now, the end is near…

That’s right, gang – this post marks the last in our 2010 scouting profiles series. Over the past 18 days, we’ve examined 71 players, all of whom play positions the Green Bay Packers must address in this draft.

Of course, most of these players won’t end up in green and gold [...]

2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Safeties (part two)

Truth be told, this post wasn’t supposed to run until tonight.

We had planned on dedicating Tuesday night and this morning to recapping the release of the 2010 NFL regular season schedule, as many thought it would come out Tuesday. But, of course the NFL isn’t ready to do that yet. Why would they be? That [...]

2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Safeties

What he does that could work for the Packers: Just look at the numbers, Mays is a freak. The combination of size, speed and strength makes any GM drool. There might not be a better closing player in the draft at any [...]

2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Defensive line

When you look at the Green Bay Packers’ needs heading into the draft, defensive line isn’t near the top of the list.

That doesn’t mean it should be near the bottom, either, though.

Sure, the Packers look to have a very good four-man rotation (baseball reference, sorry, it’s that time of year) in Cullen Jenkins, Ryan Pickett, Johnny Jolly and [...]

2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Outside linebacker (part three)

Two posts on outside linebackers are in the books. We’ve still got a couple of second-round guys to get to, but the majority of this post – our last on the position - will focus on some possible mid-to-late round gems who could strike the Green Bay Packers’ fancy in the draft.

How’s that for a succinct introduction? Not bad, [...]

2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Outside linebacker (part two)

He should definitely be available at #23, but he may not drop to the Packers in second round, where he would be a steal. Don’t be surprised if Thompson snags him at the 1st round and it wouldn’t be a reach at [...]

2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Outside linebacker

Now that we’ve sufficiently covered the cornerbacks – wait, aren’t they supposed to do the covering? Okay, bad joke I know – it’s time to move on to the outside linebackers.

It’s a position the Green Bay Packers are almost surely set to address at some point during the draft. The question is: When?

If the team [...]

2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Cornerback (part three)

So far, we’ve taken a look at arguably the top five corners in this year’s draft (outside of Joe Haden, of course).

For our final segment on the corners, we’ll look at five more players, all of whom are likely no better than second round picks. Not necessarily a bad thing as it’s looked at as a [...]

2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Cornerback (part two)

However, many of you are right and there are more pressing needs to address in the first round, so let’s look at a couple second-day prospects the Green Bay brain-trust could be [...]

2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Cornerback

So, we’re back from our ever-so-brief Easter sabbatical.

For the next week (and then some), we’ll be talking defense.

It’s crucial that the Green Bay Packers upgrade on this side of the ball. While the defense did many good things last season, the first in the new 3-4 scheme, it is still lacking in some facets. The Packers must [...]
