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.
