i like this guy....it sounds to be packers stuff...

---

I like that he played at Colorado. For the next three weeks he should feel right at home.

I think it's guys like this that has McCarthy feeling the teams best football is still in front of them. He's only going to get more comfortable with every game.

4.54 is pretty impressive. They certainly have speed off the edge.

---

I'm thankful no one has called me out yet, but in fairness. I will do it.

When it was first mentioned that Kampman would miss a game, and Brad would take his place. I announced repeatedly, Brad is awful. I based that on the special teams play I seen of him. He was constantly being flagged, or so it seemed. And it seemed when ever I seen a pile, he was the last one to arrive.

Albeit that was on special teams, I am glad to say, again, I was wrong, so it appears.

---

He seems like he could be the answer at LOLB, I hope he continues to do well I really like his character and it would be nice to not have to draft the future of the position.

---

Definitely a candidate for the all-Mike Reid team.

I don't know Wade, the lad might have dq'd himself.

He might be just shy of a degree in astrophysics, and I'm sure the whole econ thing is swaying you, but he ain't no rocket scientist, and I mean that literally and figuratively.

All I'm sayin' is that if he was planning on being an astronaut by getting that degree...well, I say the young man shouldn't quit his day job as a linebacker.

Oh, they got oodles of astrophysicists at NASA, but the closest they let them to a spacecraft is a television monitor. He can do that in the locker room or his crib. Your basic astronaut (and rocket scientist, or military aviator for that matter) is gonna be an aeronautical engineer, last time I checked.

Sounds like our boy barked up the wrong "gettin' my ass in outer space tree", to me. I think you should factor that in before admission onto your team.

I'm not sayin' a physics guy can't go up, hell John Glenn got a couple of physics credits by flyin' an airplane, which gave him his start.

I would argue that he got his multiple shots into space by being a military pilot, or more specifically, a United States Marine pilot. How's that for a blatant parochial shoutout? Oohrah! We get there 1st, boys and girls, lol. If Jones signs up for the Marines, I'll vote for him on your team.

It just struck me as funny, and this is mostly (approx. 99.99%) tongue-in-cheek, but I did know a kid who told me he was joining the Navy and becoming a submarine driver. The next time I saw him he was in an Army uniform, and I asked him if the Army had submarines. He told me he was a driver, but rather than a submarine, he was driving a jeep. You just gotta choose those career paths with care, is all I'm sayin', and astrophysicist sounds like you are goin' to outerspace, but my jeep driver friend will tell ya to read the fine print. :thumbleft:

7th Round.

Nuff said... Good job good job on draft day.

---

I gave Ted Thompson an A on his draft this year, but it was mostly for Raji and Matthews. I was stoked we got rid of picks to get Matthews.

I had no idea whatsoever that we'd get someone good with the 7th Round pick. :thumbright:

hey...to me the "astrophysics" thing was the bell, not the econ. Any clown can do undergrad econ. Physics tho...that takes brain.

As to astronauts...i always thought the main qualification was "look good" (like, ahem, a fighter pilot). No question it took major gonads to put yourself on a tin can sitting atop a zillion tons of TNT....come to think of it, that does describe your basic marine type, doesn't it?

oh yes...and if someone other than the guvmint was in charge of space development, I'm betting you'd see some geeky astrophysicist types joining the parade.

No economists, tho. (sigh). They'd be as useless in space as on terra firma.
