My sources say...
7/234. Jonathan Ford, DT, Miami (0, 1): This might have been the most puzzling pick of the Packers’ draft.
Defensive tackle was a thin position this year. Ford (6-5, 341, 5.49) started for three years but made just 60 tackles, including eight for loss. Two personnel directors admitted they had no recollection of him.
Last year, the Packers took another nose man, Florida’s T.J. Slaton (6-4, 330, 5.09), in the fifth round. Maybe they were displeased with his 266 snaps. Or maybe Slaton has let his weight balloon this off-season and took Ford to get his attention.
One scout said Ford, the 24th and last big man to be drafted, wasn’t as quick, active or fast as Slaton. The scout added that Ford played too high and was nothing more than a good free agent.
