1st Round (27th Overall) NT Kenny Clark· Page 3

He's a better pass rusher I think than guys like Billings and Reed. He's a good run defender but not in the stand there and eat up blocks way. He's more like Daniels against the run where he's going to read the play then get up field and cause disruption or make the tackle which seems to be what they've been looking for out of the D-linemen. Not the same as Daniels though Daniels wins with quickness and leverage where Clark wins with strength and leverage. He will probably make a good compliment to Daniels when there are 2 linemen on the field.

I remember seeing (or hearing) about Kenny Clark and his father in a media report. I did not realize it was the same person from that report until following the draft. I went to NFL.com and found the same info Zero posted. Perhaps this will be a positive change for Kenny and his family.

I hope he will live up to the 1st pick label.

Also, I did not know that Reggie Rageland has heart problems. I'm not comfortable taking on more problems, when many need to be addressed already. Sorry Reggie, KC may want you though..

[cheers]

The artist formerly known as Rajiroar is just pissed Kenny will be replacing his favorite bust.

I had an account with a non-retard name before "Rajiroar", I just forgot the info. It was supposed to be temporary I swear!

Third:

Raji killed it in 2010 and 6'd the Bears for the Halas trophy in their house, he is undoubtedly one of Ted's best front 7 picks, sad as that is.

Im never gonna live that damn name down.

There I was feeling lame that I didn't really follow any players individually during the college football season and then I remembered that I watched quite a few UCLA games and once I heard that name called a light went off and was like "aww shit!" The guy was almost always effecting the play in some way or another even when he wasn't getting a tackle on his own. He has a lot of potential. I'm stoked.

I figure I would be best to wait the night to post. I think the pick makes a lot of sense, but I'm still a bit baffled we didn't trade back as a trade happened before and after our pick so it would appear there were opportunities to trade down. I am pretty sure we could have landed him at 31. It may have been a bit of stress waiting for the San Fran pick, but we may have been able to get him there as well.

Maybe the Broncos and Niners didn't contact us or Ted was asking for too much. Feel like we lost out on another pick if this was our guy.

Anyone else notice this...

SOURCES TELL US "What bothers me about Clark is that he was so much better against weaker competition than he was against better talent. I like him, but not like everyone is hyping him up." -- AFC Pac-12 scout

He'll fit right in.

The fact that Jack fell completely out of the 1st round draft means that knee is serious. I feel bad for the guy.

As for what that source said. Who doesn't do better against weaker competition than better competition? That just feels like common sense to me. I'm clearly missing something.

Maybe we could have landed him somewhere in the 2nd round but the same thing would be said had we picked Vernon Butler and look what happened there.

wpr (7h) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
