I'm a big Zombo fan, but I'm very impressed with Elmores desire and commitment. I'm thinking that in a year or two this pick will pay off.
The Packers have no rush to develop this kid to start immediately.
Nice draft for Ted in my opinion.

That was my reaction too.

I have to admit, I'm excited about this pick. I'm not as high on Zombo as a lot of you are. I like Walden but he still seems raw to me, and more of a speed guy. Jones is completely unpredictable coming back from injury. I don't think Elmore will be ready to go in '11 but '12 would be fine with me.

I like the Elmore pick too. He was very productive, and just seems like a decent bet to be able to play in the NFL. I expect Zombo to be the guy, though.

As far as playing as a rookie, Matthews, Brad Jones, and Zombo did it. So did Hawk, Barnett, Chillar (w/ Rams)... even Poppinga and Francois started one game in their rookie years. Just about everyone except Bishop and Walden. I wouldn't bet against Elmore getting a start or two this year.

Dude's cone drill was second fastest after only Reed, so I'm not writing him off. Straight line speed may be a little slow, but they said that about Dez Bishop too.

I agree with you there. For me the cone drill says much about how active he can be at the line and get his body where it needs to go in a hurry. One thing I haven't looked at yet is how he uses his hands when he is in combat. I hope CM3 gets him doing that MMA training to get the hands active.

That's just it, he doesn't have to be fed to the wolves right away and is already gaining all this experience. I was a heavy supporter of Zombo/Walden (still) but if this kid can learn from Big Clay and gain experience watching CM3 play then this will be a steal for sure.

4.78 40 time....speed can be worked on. The kid is athletic and hopefully will be a freak.

Man two year's ago we were up the creek with no OLB's and now we have too many. Does anybody have Doc Brown's phone number, cause I need the Deloreon to go back in time to make some wagers with all the numbnuts' in here that thought Uncle Ted was a dumbass.

As I'm sure almost all of you know, Doc Brown lived in his garage in 1985, the only remainder of his mansion that burned down on August 2, 1962, according to an HVT clipping in Universal Studios Florida. According to another article in the HVT, specifically in the May 1994/Issue #11, Doc Brown's garage/house address was: 1646 Riverside Drive, Hill Valley, California 95420. His phone number was (916) 555-4385.

You mean, now we have too many average players at a certain position. I reckon that that's a pretty achievable goal at pretty much any position.

Not that I think Ted is a dumbass. I was rocking the Ted Thompson signature for quite a while. It's just that the OLB problem isn't solved and most likely won't look that good again this year.

To be fair.. it isn't like a ton of the drafted talent at OLB has produced results on the field... past Clay that is. Consistent results.

We didn't actually draft anyone before round 6 at OLB apart from Clay. Round 6 and 7 are generally for depth and to secure the players you don't want to fight for in UDFA. Very rarely do you find a remarkable talent there. That's why players like Tramon are such feel good stories.

We're trying to fill a hole opposite of Clay by putting the issue on a backburner. Solid strategy.

beast (5h) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (6h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (6h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (6h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (6h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (6h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (6h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (6h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (7h) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (7h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (7h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (7h) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (8h) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (8h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (12h) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (17h) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (17h) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
