[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 1033576, member: 12283"] As for the picks today, some thoughts: -I don't believe the Packers were actually ever interested in DeJean or McKinstry. The former doesn't really surprise me. I don't really see it with DeJean and Hafley's defense. The latter I'm more surprised by, but they just don't seem to feel a big need at cornerback. -Edgerrin Cooper was one of my favorite players in this draft. I think it's telling, too, that he was LB1 and LB2 didn't come off the board until pick #69. He was head and shoulders the best guy in this class. He is more similar to Walker than he is a complement. Gutekunst sort of telegraphed this some weeks ago when he said that he wants two starting linebackers who can be used interchangeably. -Javon Bullard is exactly the kind of safety that Gutekunst described a couple days ago to the media-- can play in the box and in the post and cover be used in the slot. What's funny is that his comments were interpreted by everyone to be referring to DeJean because everyone had such tunnel vision with him. Bullard wasn't on my radar because I was more expecting them to draft a true SS body type. However, he seems like a good, versatile guy. I wouldn't be surprised to see them take a big box safety today so that they can use big nickel with Bullard in the slot. -I'm glad they improved the offensive backfield. Wright was the guy I had my eye on, but Lloyd brings similar big play ability. I would theorize that they prefer the latter's size and, thereby, his ability to be the lead guy in the case of an injury. -I figured on them taking a second linebacker in this draft. I even expected it to be Hopper. I just didn't think it would be so soon. Whatever that case, Hopper seems like a good athlete with a lot of downhill aggression who will be able to make a living on teams until he's needed on defense. [/QUOTE]
