[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 834636, member: 6578"] The more I think about this Gary pick the more I feel bad for the guy...and sense a little bit of a AJ Hawk type feel looking into the future. Dude could be a solid starter through his rookie and second contract but never LIGHT IT UP like many think or feel he should for his pick. Did I have him on my pick board personally at his position? No. Did it shock me a bit they grabbed him? Yes. Do I think he has one of the highest ceilings of the Top 20 picks? Yes. Does he appear to have the raw skill set to be amazing? Yes. Has that played out in stats? No. Has it played out in how teams approached him in past? Yes. While he comes from a high profile school, I also think of another pick of old that many were upset about and thought we wasted the pick. Nick Collins out of Bethune Cookman. Many were highly skeptical and some even mad about us picking him, and he wasn't even a 1st round pick. Dude IMO is THE BEST safety GB has drafted from 90's on as I wasn't old enough to remember or pay attention prior to that. Now do I expect Gary to be the best player drafted by us in his position, LOL...no. I'd never assume that, however merely drawing a correlation between how he has been received. As for coach Smith, to me he made it very clear this wasn't just a coach doing the typical praise and adoration dance EVERYONE does for a draft pick during media interviews. This was a coach that I truly believe had Gary as the best player at his position in the draft and one of the best overall. Genuine excitement oozed out of him in a way which IMO is a bit atypical when hearing coaches praise incoming draft picks. All we can do is wait, hope and pray Gary's raw phenom level abilities translate into success on the field come Sundays. If that happens I guarantee any true Packer fan blasting him now, will gladly microwave up that crow, top it with a favorite sauce and gobble it down. [/QUOTE]
