Packers scout at Cactus Bowl
Posted Jan 07 2009, 02:53 PM by Brian Carriveau

A scout from the Green Bay Packers can be seen on video on this website checking out senior prospects at the Valero Cactus Bowl in Kingsville, Texas.

Perhaps it's Packers scout Jon-Eric Sullivan, which would make sense seeing as he's the scouting director for the mid-South when the game is being held in Texas.

Even though the game is only being held for Division II players, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the Packers are there. General manager Ted Thompson has been there in the past, and reports were surfacing from the same site yesterday that the Packers new defensive coordinator would be Mike Nolan.

Maybe the Packers are taking a look at tackle Jeremy Ashcroft of Arkansas Tech, who's turning some heads while turning away speed rushers.

The game is being held on Friday night.

Boy, how Ted Thompson loves his hidden small school gems. We got a couple in Jennings and Collins. I wonder if this guy will be a 2nd rounder too.

Why can't Ted Thompson draft in the first round like he does in the 2nd? His 2nd round picks have been great.

2005:
Nick Collins
Terrence Murphy - would have been a rising star if not for injury

2006:
Daryn Colledge
Greg Jennings

2007:
Brandon Jackson - should get more playing time

2008 (time will tell with these guys):
Jordy Nelson
Brian Brohm
Patrick Lee

He seems to have Wolfitis... up and down with regards to 1st round selections.

Can anyone really name a GM who consistently hits home runs in the first round?

Check Bill Belichick's for NE. I'm sure it's great. They seem to get good players even when consistently picking late in the 1st round.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (16h) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

Zero2Cool (19h) : Gutekunst says he'd love to have 13 or 14 picks. He's trading back huh lol

beast (21h) : Someday we'll have a draft betting scandal

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.

Zero2Cool (18-Apr) : Packers sign T Andre Dillard.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : Adds most of the information this time of year comes from agents.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : @RealAlexBarth Bill Belichick says accurate draft information doesn't leak from teams until about 12 hours before the draft. Adds most of th

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : I am very happy that for moment, Jordan Love seems like a normal human being

Zero2Cool (17-Apr) : Belichick * whatever

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : Saints have agreed to terms on a contract with former Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown.

dfosterf (8-Apr) : I say he is better than so many of these draft picks

dfosterf (8-Apr) : Question of the week for me: Has anyone besides me done any deep dive into the potential of Alex McGough, our 3rd string qb?

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Or in Tunsil's case, something gets released day of draft or day before lol

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Seems every year someone does something pre-draft.

dfosterf (8-Apr) : Falling down drunk. The draft board

dfosterf (8-Apr) : Allright! Potential character guy/f#×k up pickup in D'Vondre Sweat!
