6'5" frame could definitely add some pounds and possibly contribute at one of the DE spots. I like the pick.

Kid started to peak at the right time, his best two games were the last two games of the season.

6th rounder on a gamble that might pay off. Round 6 is always a gamble anyhow - why not pick a guy who might be finding his upside at the right time?

6th Round: Jarius Wynn, DE, Georgia
The Packers went back to defense with the first of their two sixth-round draft picks, selecting Georgia end Jarius Wynn with the 182nd overall pick.

A junior-college transfer, Wynn (6-foot-3, 275 pounds) probably projects as an end in the Packers' new 3-4 scheme.

Combine results ...

40 Yard Dash : 5.08 seconds
Bench Press : 19.0 reps
Vertical Jump : 31.5 inches
Broad Jump : 107.0 inches
3 Cone Drill : 7.4 seconds
20 Yard Shuttle : 4.58 seconds

UPDATE, 3:25 p.m.: Here's what Wynn has to say ...

* On his bowl-game performance: One of best performances.

* On being a Packer: "It's going to be very exciting."

* Played any linebacker? Not really.

* Work out as linebacker? "No sir, I haven't."

* What do you weight? 273.

* Expecting to get drafted here? Didn't know. Was up in air. Heard from third all the way down. "It's just a blessing to get to this point. This is every child's dream."

* What heard from Packers? "No sir." Had mentioned gaining weight.

* How much can he put on? Biggest been is 283, and that was pretty heavy. "I'll do whatever it takes."

* How end up at a junior college? Coming out of high school, grades weren't up to par. Lacked a class senior year. Got back on right track at juco.

* What is Georgia Military College like? Wear uniforms, have to be very disciplined. "I really learned a lot from going there."

* Why go there? "Where I'm from, a lot of people go there" but not many get through and accomplish dreams.

* Feel like best days are ahead? "Yes sir. With God on my side, I can do anything. I'm coming in to work hard. ... I know I'm going to be a better player. That's how I feel, deep down inside."

* Came on late in senior season, and why? Yes.

Seems like a good guy but a long shot. Wish him the best.
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

According to Draft Countdown using measurables from the Combine he is only 6'2.5". That doesn't seem to be the type of DE we're looking for. Not saying anything else, just thought it strange.

beast (1h) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 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.
