in cambio della #47?

Ecco il draft di Green Bay:

1 5 LB A.J. Hawk, Ohio State
2 47 T/G Daryn Colledge, Boise State
2 52 WR Greg Jennings, Western Michigan
3 67 LB Abdul Hodge, Iowa
3 75 G/C Jason Spitz, Louisville
4 104 WR/KR Cory Rodgers, TCU
4 115 CB Will Blackmon, Boston College
5 148 QB Ingle Martin, Furman
5 165 T/G Tony Moll, Nevada
6 183 DT Johnny Jolly, Texas A&M
6 185 S Tyrone Culver, Fresno State
7 253 DE Dave Tollefson, Northwest Missouri State

Di primo acchito sembra siano andati più sulla quantità che sulla qualità, scambiando la scelta 36 (con cui NE ha preso Chad Jackson che ai Packers serviva e non poco dopo la cessione di Walker) e 37 (ricevuta da Denver per Walker) con scelte ai giri seguenti.

Io ho letto molto bene di Jennings, ricevitore da Western Michigan. Lo scetticismo nei suoi confronti deriva secondo molti dal fatto che abbia giocato in un college piccolo, lontano dai riflettori dei media nazionali, ma pare abbia fatto molto bene non solo al college ma anche alla combine. In un draft in cui comunque non c'era nessun ricevitore alla Jerry Rice secondo me è stato giusto operare in questo modo. Vedremo...

Regalino. Greg Jennings

Grazie King! In effetti il ragazzo non sembra male...

Anch'io ho qualche altra immagine:
LB - Abdul Hodge - Iowa

Dal link postato da King sono riuscito a dare un'occhiata più dettagliata ai picks di GB: devo dire che pur non essendo nomi di grido (A.J. escluso ovvimante) erano quasi tutti prospetti comunque ben considerati infatti nei primi 100 di Yahoo si torvano: il nativo del polo Nord Daryn Colledge (ottimo prospetto), Greg Jennings (non ha il "nome" dei top3 scelti ma di lui si parla un gran bene), Abdul Hodge (non di gran stazza ma descritto come un torello e gran lavoratore), Will Blackmon (buon Cb che ha giocato anche Wr e ritornatore). Quindi 5 giocatori scelti tra i primi 100 considerati nel ranking........ non male. Tra gli altri il Qb Martin considerato un prospetto da sviluppare con ampi margini di miglioramento: tradotto può fare il roster a livello NFL come anche essere un bidone.......

Anche G.B. aggiunge 11 undrafted rookies che si aggregheranno per il primo mini camp in programma per questo fine settimana

The Green Bay Packers have agreed to contracts with the following undrafted rookies. The Packers are expected to officially release the list of undrafted free agents later today, or Friday after the free agents undergo a physical exam by the Packers.

The Packers received verbal agreements from the following players shortly after the draft, according to their schools, or other published reports:

Shermar Bracey, RB, Arkansas State
Arliss Beach, RB, Kentucky
A.J. Cooper, TE, North Dakota State
Tim Goodwell, LB, Memphis
Tra Boger, S, Tulane
Zac Alcorn, TE, Black Hills State

Other players who have agreed to contracts as reported on PackerReport.com earlier this week include tackle Josh Bourke of Grand Valley State, wide receiver Chris Francies of UTEP, defensive end Jason Hunter of Appalachian State, defensive end Montez Murphy of Baylor, and linebacker Byron Santiago of Louisiana Tech.

The 6-foot-1, 225-pound Bracey was the first free agent Green Bay signed after drafting three defensive players in the NFL draft. Bracey rushed for 699 yards five touchdowns during the 2005 season as he and starter Antonio Warren alternated play at the tailback position. He also caught 12 passes for 124 yards and 12 scores. He finished with 271 carries for 1,459 yards (5.4 avg.) and 15 touchdowns in three seasons.

Beach (6-0, 200) played behind Artose Pinner in 2002, then was slowed by injuries in 2003 and 2004. Last year, he had his moments as a senior but played mostly a backup role to Rafael Little, who enjoyed a breakout sophomore campaign. However, Beach was the star of UK's Pro Day in late March, running a better-than-expected 4.45 40-yard dash and doing 21 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press. Beach had 226 carries for 951 yards (4.2 avg.) and 14 touchdowns. He also caught 25 passes for 194 yards.

Cooper (6-1, 239) caught 24 passes for 473 yards (19.7 avg.) and four touchdowns. He was an honorable mention Division I-AA all-American as a senior. He played two seasons for the Bison after two seasons at Glendale Community College.

Goodwell (6-0, 230) had 249 tackles (123 solo), including 21 for loss; seven sacks and one interception. . . . Has been clocked in 4.6.

Bogar (6-0, 210) missed most of the 2004 season with a knee injury that he sustained in Week 2. He finished his career at Tulane with nine interceptions, seven forced fumbles, two sacks and 10 tackles for loss. He intercepted two passes in the Las Vegas Classic in January.

Alcorn (6-4, 260) caught 57 passes for 807 yards and seven touchdowns in 2005 for the NAIA school.

Driver rinnova per altri quattro anni con Green Bay

Driver Excited About Contract Extension

Having registered at least 80 receptions and 1,200 receiving yards in each of the last two seasons, Donald Driver and the Green Bay Packers have agreed to a contract extension.

"I take my hat off to the Packers organization first of all for even looking into it," said Driver, who had two years remaining on the contract he signed in 2002. "I really appreciate what they did because they didn't have to do it. I'm happy that I'll be a Packer for at least another four years."

The extension comes on the heels of Driver's most productive season in which he set career bests with 86 receptions and 1,221 yards, and will keep him entrenched within a community he has grown to love.

"I've always said that once I got to Green Bay I knew I wanted to retire here and that I always wanted to be a Green Bay Packer," said Driver, a native of Houston, Texas. "The tradition here is tremendous and the people here are like no other."

Driver, 31, begins his eighth season in Green Bay. The Packers' No. 1 receiving threat is looking forward to another finger-breaking season with the Packers' most heralded gunslinger.

"I don't know if he'll stay for four more years, that's a decision Brett (Favre) will have to make on his own," Driver said. "But once I told him that I had gotten a deal done it put a smile on his face, just as it put a smile on my face when I heard he was coming back."

Like Favre, Driver is one of the elder statesmen on the team and knows that his days with No. 4 are limited, but he's also excited about what the future holds for the quarterback position.

"I think Aaron (Rodgers) is a great quarterback," Driver said. "It's just going to take some time for he and I to gel. I think the trust has to be there. He has to trust me that, regardless of where he throws the ball, I'm going to be there to make the play and I have to trust that he is going to throw the ball to a spot where I can make a play.

"That's the trust that Brett and I have after playing together for seven seasons and I'm sure that once he does retire, I can have that same trust in Aaron. He's behind a great quarterback and after that great guy leaves, he is going to have to show his greatness. And Aaron does have the ability to be great."

Meanwhile, Driver, a seventh-round draft pick from Alcorn State in 1999, will continue to go about his business with the team he loves with hopes of one day being remembered as one of the Packers' all-time greats.

"I'm just excited to have the opportunity for my name to go down in the Packers history books with some of the greatest guys that ever played for the organization," Driver said. "That's a dream that a guy like me has always wanted."

Notizie non molto buone su Rogers

Aaron Rodgers Not Showing Much Arm Strength --
Wed Jun 7, 2006 --from FFMastermind.com

NFL.com's Vic Carucci reports even in taking limited snaps and despite
missing the occasional on-field session as he did on June 5, QB Brett
Favre is showing that he still is among the NFL's elite passers. He
continues to represent the Green Bay Packers' greatest hope for
offensive success, which won't be easy to achieve after the departure of
game-breaking WR Javon Walker. Meanwhile, QB Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay's
first-round pick in 2005, has yet to provide a whole lot of
encouragement that he could be even an adequate replacement when Favre
finally does step aside. In taking the lion's share of offseason snaps,
Rodgers isn't making much of an impression with his arm strength,
although his delivery has looked a little less awkward than it did
during his rookie year. So far, the buzz among Packers players is
uncertainty over whether Rodgers has the goods to be the future starter.

Mh, purtroppo ne avevo il sentore......... il fatto di visionare attentamente tutti i Qb presenti al draft era un segnale di una non totale fiducia nel ragazzo, poi bè è tornato Favre, quindi si è scelto diversamente.......
Speriamo si sbagli.....

Se fosse di nuovo così.... ten more years!
