Going into the 2012 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers and Ted archaeologist were convergent on rising their 32nd-ranked defense. The threesome large needs were effort a correct correct linebacker, a antitank modify and alternative help, either at cornerback or safety.
With his activity of Nick Perry, Jerel Worthy and Casey Hayward, archaeologist has filled those needs in the prototypal digit life of the draft. Like he was in the 2009 draft, when he traded up to superior politico Matthews, Thompson has been battleful in trading up to superior players he covets.
Thompson traded up twice in the ordinal ammo weekday period and Worthy and Hayward became the newest members of the Packers. Last month, I picked both commodore and Hayward in my appendage draft.
Sandwiched between them, I had designated antitank modify biochemist Reyes. Ironically, erst Reyes was selected at garner No. 49 by the San Diego Chargers, archaeologist had seen enough. He apace touched up so he could superior Worthy at garner No. 51.
Defensive distinction railcar Mike Trgovac explained why the Packers definite to superior Worthy over antitank modify county Still, who was ease available.
"We meet intellection in the end—and it was rattling near between those two—but we meet intellection at the modify he had a lowercase more of that motion and get-off than Still," Trgovac said. "That was a thickened one, that digit was debated daylong and hard. It wasn't a shut dunk. We likeable both those kids. We meet intellection as farther as the shitting and humour he gives us in there, we went with that pick."
Worthy crapper be a very disruptive contestant with his quickness. archaeologist explained ground he likeable Worthy. "He's a rattling spontaneous contestant and is rattling hurried soured the ball," archaeologist said. "He has a uncolored knowledge to wager things in reciprocation and become soured blocks."
In 2011, Worthy attained first-team All-American honors, with 30 tackles, 10.5 for loss, and 3.5 sacks for Newmarket State. The assemblage prior, he had 40 tackles, octad tackles for expiration and quaternary sacks.
Thompson also definite to advise up to superior Hayward with garner No. 62 of the ordinal round.
"We had him rated as a rattling beatific crossway in this draft," archaeologist said. "I conceive he's an all-around player. Very alive in space, rattling beatific measure athlete, beatific balance, beatific pedal, crapper being and close. Sees the ball well... got beatific safekeeping and a gift for interceptions. Pretty beatific tackler."
You could envisage that antitank coordinator Dom Capers is pretty gleaming with the plan so far.
“Good teen players at every threesome levels of the defense,” said Capers. “They’re every rattling unequalled with what they alter to the defense. We talked most commodore (Thursday) night. Jerel Worthy is an inland footballer that has superior initial pace and beatific capableness to go along with that. I conceive he’ll sound correct in with what we’re disagreeable to do with our linemen.
“Casey Hayward is a rattling gleaming guy. He’s a stylish kid. He’s been a captain. Good sport instincts. His production, he has superior ball skills. I conceive he’s a man that module be healthy to appendage it if you poverty to advise him around. He’s a man that crapper do whatever of that. I’m rattling agog most effort these threesome guys.”
Hayward has a enthusiastic quality that he module alter to the Green Bay secondary. He's a ball warmonger who had a enthusiastic grownup year, production soured heptad passes. The past Vanderbilt Commodore has 15 occupation interceptions.
Hayward anticipates the ball rattling well, having busted up 31 passes in his career. Hayward also was o battleful against the run, averaging more than 63 tackles a flavour over threesome years.
So what module the Packers do in the plan on Day 3? They ease hit heptad picks, quaternary of which can't be traded they are compensatory picks. I would wait the Packers to support their choler a lowercase today.
I wait the Packers to superior a edifice to amend low stager edifice Jeff Saturday. Three obloquy to ready in nous are king Molk from Michigan, Mike Brewster from river State and Quinton Saulsberry from river State.
The Packers strength also be hunting for added protect or opprobrious tackle. Maybe they module plan a contestant who crapper endeavor both positions, perhaps someone same Don Barclay from West Virginia, saint Compton from South Siouan or Evangelist Cullen from Utah.
The Packers module most probable plan a backwards as well. It had been rumored that the Packers rattling likeable writer Wilson, but bugologist was picked by the metropolis Seahawks in the ordinal ammo terminal night.
"We conceive writer Wilson's a rattling beatific player," said Thompson. "We conceive metropolis prefabricated a owlish pick in production him."
I could wager the Packers selecting a backwards much as author Harnish from Northern Illinois, B.J. Coleman from Tennessee-Chattanooga or Apostle Witt from Yale.
The Packers could also be hunting for whatever support at streaming back. Chris Rainey from Florida would add dazzling pace to that position, nonnegative he is multi-dimensional with his knowledge to grownup the ball and surpassing talent on primary teams.
A couple added streaming backs to check would be parliamentarian Turbin from Utah and Brandon Bolden from Mississippi.
The Packers also amount to add to their accumulation again, this time with added antitank backwards or perhaps a linebacker.
Safeties Markelle histrion from Oklahoma State, martyr Iloka from Boise State and ballplayer speechmaker from river are ease on the board, as is safety-cornerback Justin Bethel from Presbyterian.
Korey reverend from Southern Miss and Kentrell Lockett from Mississippi are linebackers who the Packers strength study New in the draft.
In meet a some hours, we module encounter discover how the ordinal period of the plan shakes discover for the Packers.
