Packers' Jerron McMillian was wrong pick from beginning

From the moment safety Jerron McMillian was announced as a Green Bay Packers fourth-round draft choice in 2012, it didn’t make sense.

It seems that more than a few of Uncle Teddy's draft day reaches have been problems. It almost is as if he takes bigger than needed gambles to prove how smart he is.

Hold up, Bob McGinn is others actions didn't make sense and don't add up? Mr. Negative SERIOUSLY needs to look in a mirror, especially after writing the artlce titled, "Packers could win without Aaron Rodgers " which set up the bad krama and injuries for Rodgers in the first place. I mean seriously what was he thinking when he wrote that? That didn't make any sense and didn't add up... why would you risk krama like that? Why do you think any team can win losing one of the best QBs in the NFL? especially with so much questionible back-up...

Say what you want about McMillian the fact is that kid CLEARLY flashed potential at times... yes it looks like he's doing nothing with that potential but when it comes to the draft teams take shots on potential, I think we all know this.

McMillian could hit like a LB, cover the slot like a CB and at times fly with a ton of speed. Packers took a chance they'd be able to groom him into a good S and he had all the physical talent but the mental talent (and/or mental readiness/willingness) didn't seemed to be there.

I hate when people call players reaches. We don't know what NFL teams think of these players. Just because some ESPN draft guru or some lame mock draft website doesn't know about a player doesn't mean the actual teams don't. I remember everyone calling Mike Neal this huge reach because Mel Kiper and people like him said he was like a 5th or 6th rounder and the fans ate it up. Then there was a picture taken of the Cowboys draft board that year and they had him rated as a 3rd rounder. Not such a reach after all to be taken late 2nd. Just goes to show that those guys have no clue what teams actually think of players they are just going off little crumbs of information they can pull from "unnamed sources".

Jerron McMillian #1 got caught in #'s game when it came to his release, players have been dropping like flies and somebody had to go to make room for a rb.

I am betting if the Packers could have, they would have put him on IR and kept him around.

#2, he never got the chance to develop, thrown into the fire his rookie year and actually showed some promise, I wouldn't say he regressed this year, he just played like a 2nd year guy who needed more time to figure out the game, unfortunately again because of injuries he was forced to start and made mistakes, like any other 2nd year guy will if he hadn't been given the time to properly learn the system.

Hope he gets another chance, if not with another twam this year, nothing keeping The Packers from bringing him back next year.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Acting out of character, Thompson traded up for both Worthy and Hayward, and then did it again to take inside linebacker Terrell Manning in the fifth round.

With the 132nd choice, the Packers selected defensive tackle Mike Daniels.

Why is everyone trying to blame all this bullshit on Ted? I just don't get it.
