The sudden exodus at cornerback is giving 2014 sixth-round pick Demetri Goodson a shot at a starting role for the Green Bay Packers.

Goodson needs to show he can make the team based on something other than the draft pick that was invested in him. Then he can worry about being the starter.

There should be no surprise that he wants a starting job - what NFL player doesn't?

I don't think he is ready to fill those shoes - he looked really raw last year in preseason, but didn't strike me as a scrub by any means either. We shall see what he has to offer in a few months.

I wouldn't doubt that this kid can make the team.
Whether or not he can start remains to be seen.
I hope he does well, proving he was a worthy pick.

Demetri Goodson as a starter on one of the most important positions on our D? That's laughable. EVERYONE who follows this team closely knows he didn't deserve his spot over Jumal Rolle and was only retained due to draft status.

This strikes more fear in me than the talk a few years back that Jarrett Bush was "earning" the starting job due to his senior experience. What a freaking disaster that was.

If Demetri Goodson is the starter, I'll bet that experiment lasts less than 2 games unless we face two terrible passing attacks out of the gate.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

That doesn't mean I won't give my thoughts once that thought has been entertained.

When a player is drafted, I hope he comes in with Goodsons attitude.

There was a very small chance he we a going to see the field last year, with the players in fro t of him.

Now with all the departures, he sees his opportunity and wants to take advantage.

No guarantee he will, but there is NO guarantee any draft pick is going to succeed.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
