The camera was on McCarthy because he was there and he's a head coach. I didn't see any serious discussion about Green Bay selecting a receiver on the NFL Network. I may of missed it though, but none the less, you're putting too much into McCarthy watching Bryant. He's watched all the offensive lineman too. I guarantee you that.

McCarthy may push for Bryant and GB may take him if he's there, but ultimately, Ted Thompson makes the final call on the pick and he was at the USC pro day today. Might want to put some stock into that as well and start thinking Brown, Mays, or Griffen at No. 23. Although once again, I wouldn't put much stock into that either. It's all about cover your tracks. The Packers do their homework as well as any team in the league. They no the ins and outs of the draft.

Why don't just draft a fucking quarterback with the pick.


I'm sorry. Unless this Dez Bryant is the next Don Hutson/Jerry Rice, spending a first rounder on a WR this year is a fucking stupid idea.

Drafting WR before the fourth round is a fucking stupid idea.

G'damnit. The draft is still almost a month a way and I've already lost the ability to be civil about this. :)

Aside to Kevin: you think the "p*d level" cracks got old last year. you imagine how many of them if the team goes WR instead of OL again?

If he goes WR in round level, I'm ratcheting up my "what it takes for Ted and Mike to satisfy me this year" to "Super Bowl or bust."

And there's definitely going to be a midwest shortage of horsemeat.

I have been banging the drum for a couple of years now that, for all our reputation of having a vaunted wide receiver corps, we are only an injury away from having a mediocre to poor receiving corps. After Driver and Jennings, the drop-off in production is truly precipitous. Now you can argue that it's due to a lack of opportunity, and that's fine, but the fact is, the only one to noticeably step up when Jennings, for example, has faded has been Finley.

I'm not saying that I want Dez. I'm just saying it wouldn't be a risible pick.

I think it's interesting that this will be the second consecutive year that dhazer rolls into the draft with a controversial red-jerseyed WR in his signature graphic. 😉

Sorry, doesn't have enough legs. You may be right that we are an injury away from having a mediocre receiving corps. But one injury to the OL (to Sitton say), and its worse than mediocre. And that's listening to all the optimists about the OL.

WR in round 1 just doesn't make sense. Any more than QB in round 1 does because we're one injury away from mediocrity at QB.

Whew. I just figured out why Mike was in Texas.

NFP- Several potential first rounders in action today  

Good smokescreen Mike!

Had me worried, there, lol

Do they see him as a kick returner? Rumors have the Packers looking to draft a kick returner/RB type earlier. I agree the Packers could use a Percy Harvin/Joshua Cribbs/Desean Jackson like player (especially with blackmon being made of glass). However, I would rather the Packers attempt to address that later in the draft.

The only thing missing is Dhaze coming in with HIS usual bullshit, along with Porky making a perfectly reasoned argument on why we should pull the trigger on a Dez at 23.

+1 for the art.

Now I get to sweat this one for 3 weeks, lol

You're right. Where's Dhazer? Bryant could be our new Crabtree.

Anybody besides me notice that Eugene Parker represents Dez Bryant?

Who the hell is Eugene Parker?

One might ask...

He's Michael Crabtree's agent.

Dez: "I'm the best wide receiver in the nation."

Parker: "Yes, you are the best!"

Dez: "That's BULLSHIT me being passed until the 23rd pick, I should have been like 3rd."

Parker: "Yes, you should have been 3rd."

Dez: "I want 3rd money."

Parker: "You got a twin brother named Michael?"

Too be fair Parker represents Greg Jennings too.

Yes, I doubt that having Eugene Parker as his agent would be the deciding factor in whether or not the Packers drafted Dez.

Bruce Campbell vs. Dez Bryant

Who do you want?

If that's the scenario.

From what I've seen Nelson and Jones are a really good 3 & 4. Jennings has never faded, just double teamed, hence Driver's incredible start last year. How the hell are we going to put all those guys with so much money tied to them on the field? Nelson and Jones would start on most teams, if you look at their depth charts. So why would we want 5 starting caliber WRs when we have one starting caliber tackle, and he's old as shit (talking about Tauscher).

I think Bruce Campbell might be faster, lol

What about the fact that all of the game film on Dez was when he weighed 210, but now he weighs 220, and looked (and timed) slow? That wasn't me, btw- that was the former GM of the skins talking.

I already said that Mike could be pulling a smokescreen move, due diligence, whatever.

The reference to Mike is that Mayock was asked where he might fall to.

Mayock could have said 22 (logical--NE can use a WR)

but NOOOOOOOOO!

He had to say 23.... THEN the camera showed MM drooling over his stopwatch.

That is what set me off in the first place.

BPA?

The 2009 no red flags pre-suspension 210 lbs fantastic film Dex Bryant
didn't run his jib guy

It's not 2009.

Bruce Campbell.. the 314 lbs 6'6" 4.85 40 (pretty amazing) 34 rep bench 36.25 armed Maryland Offensive tackle

Bruce Campbell in a landslide.

NE passing on Dez Bryant at 22 and us taking him at 23 while leaving Campbell on the board

What a complete friggin' sad joke that would be.
