Demetri Goodson, the sixth-round pick GM Ted Thompson kept over Jumal Rolle, a young cornerback competing for the nickel job in Houston, hasn't shown signs he's going to take the step the Packers were hoping in his second season. Goodson, who started out as a point guard at Gonzaga and finished playing football at Baylor, has fallen behind undrafted rookie Ladarius Gunter on the depth chart and was not sharp in a competitive red zone drill. Rookie receiver Ty Montgomery blew by Goodson so quickly that he couldn't even recover on a pass thrown behind the receiver. Randall Cobb also hit him for a slant. First-round pick Damarious Randall and Gunter make similar mistakes, but every practice they make at least one nice play on the ball and show far greater instincts than Goodson. With second-round pick Quinten Rollins returning from a hamstring injury, Goodson has to start showing up or he'll get completely lost in the shuffle.

Well this certainly is inconvenient news. Too early to conclude, but it's looking like Ted kind of blew it with this one.

Luckily our depth seems to be OK at CB now with the 2 penciled in starters, the two high draft guys supposedly looking good, Gunter being this year's UDFA gem, and Hyde being versatile.

I'm not trying to say this defines Ted's legacy or that this was some epic colossal failure letting an All Pro walk out the door. Just saying based on what we see as of August 4th, it appears Ted shouldn't have kept Goodson on the roster over Rolle.

Again, I acknowledge this probably isn't worthy of a huge debate. I'm a Ted fan, and we're discussing two players that may not even be in the NFL in the next 2-3 years, not Hall of Famers.

#10

TT completely blew this one!

But if the #6 CB is where he made his 1 mistake last year, well, I guess that's not too bad...

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.
