He's talking about the first round. I said later in the draft meaning after the first round
That´s right. He has actually never drafted a WR or CB in the first round.

But I would consider Boykin good, also undrafted (after the 3rd round)
Hyde would have improved the safety position. Peppers should be an improvement (hard to see how he couldn't be). Having Bulaga back should be an improvement.So the Packers should have just replaced players they might lose next year, thereby not IMPROVING over last season? If the Packers simply addressed the potential losses of Cobb or Williams, all we would have done is have a guy on the bench for a year to replace one of them later. A later round pick could do that since they'll have a year to develop.
Hyde would have improved the safety position. Wideouts and cover corners...gotta have them...and wideouts in particular need a year to learn their trade. There are 8 more picks (at this point) after round 1.
A trade down with Cleveland would have gotten us another 3rd. rounder. At that point would could have taken either Lee or Nix (to replace Raji and add bulk at DE in base when the situation calls for it). 2nd. round and 3 third rounders....I would have been looking for a CB, S, ILB and OLB with those picks.
Anybody could improve the safety position. I don't think it can be underestimated how a bad a football player M.D. Jennings is.There´s no guarantee Hyde would have improved the safety position. Safety was one of the biggest needs going into the draft and Thompson addressed it in the first round. It´s possible both WR and CB could become an issue in 2015 (depending on who will be re-signed after next season), but we should be fine at those positions going into 2014. I´m still in favour of drafting a WR today and a CB tomorrow, but I´m totally fine with selection Clinton-Dix in the first.
Nope. The Packers assigned him the number.Don´t think that has anything to do with it. There never was a plan to retire Woodson´s number and they probably asked Clinton-Dix to chose a vacant one.

Actually, if Perry had demonstrated ability to cover or look less than dreadful in the open field

I would not necessarily argue with that. But we've seen Hyde play NFL football and he belongs.Neverthless I expect Clinton-Dix to have more of an impact that Hyde would have been able to provide.

Like I said, I'm OK with the pick. But that's a 1st. round pick that could have gone elsewhere.
So because the entire Alabama defense didn't play well against Auburn, Dix isn't a good player?
I'd prefer to look at the player himself and more than one game to evaluate a player.
I think Smallwood will be there for our compensation pick. I´m fine with either Amaro or Seferian-Jenkins in the second, would rather draft a WR today as well.
I am hoping for a trade up and snag "Jordan Matthews"
I would be fine with spending the compensatory pick in the third round on Smallwood.
There´s a slim possibility he´ll drop to #53.
I don't think he makes it past Cleveland

I was at a bar for Day 1 (some of you may have heard of Stadium View) and my buddies and I were jumping up and down cheering this pick. Not only was it a great pick to fill a huge need, I felt we were running out of players to draft. Had Clinton-Dix gone off the board, I think the best thing we could have done would be shop the QB's or take a CB, strengthening one of our strongest positions. I wouldn't have had a problem taking one of the WR's, I guess, but that would've been a reach, too. My WR was Jordan Matthews.
