First pick I do not like at all.

Two words: Too slow.

I doubt he'll challenge Jake Ryan at any point. Jake Ryan last year is about this guy's upside max.

Great attitude. Great college game. Will be sound against the run. Smart. All those are good.

But in the end, the team need is for COVERAGE SPEED sideline to sideline. He's not going to bring that any more than anyone already on the roster will.

He's a good tackler. He won't miss many.

He'll just be making too many of then 10 yards down the field.

Ted's still got an B average overall in the InstaGrade department. But this pick is a D.

PACKERS' BEST PICK: BLAKE MARTINEZ

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Thanks to his dad, Stanford linebacker Blake Martinez was prepared to be drafted by the Green Bay Packers ... and the other 31 teams.

That’s how he was able to don a Packers shirt and hat after general manager Ted Thompson picked him in the fourth round on Saturday.


It turned out, thanks to Marc Martinez, his son would be ready for whichever team picked him.

“My dad actually bought every hat he could possibly find from all 32 teams just in case -- and shirts,” Martinez said on a conference call with reporters at Lambeau Field shortly after he was picked. “So he was ready.”

If Marc would have listened to his wife, Carissa, he could have saved some money.

“My mom, the funny part of it was, she was always telling me throughout the process, she was like, ‘I believe you’re going to end up at the Packers,’” Martinez said. “And obviously it was just a lucky guess type of thing, but it’s just funny. My mom said right after, ‘Moms are always right.’ I’ll take it.”

No word on what the Marc Martinez plans to do with the other 31 shirts and hats.

Consistent measurables in the combine with Reggie Ragland. It's kind of baffling the amount of people that call Martinez too slow and in the same breath wanted the Packers to draft Ragland, who plays a slower game.

This was actually my favorite pick of the draft. Wanted the Packers to take him in the 4-5th round. Smart player that makes very little mental mistakes. Hoping he has some sort of immediate impact on the defense.
