fwiw the beat writer for the Green Bay Newspaper rated their draft 28th out of 32.
I was OK with their 1st pick and liked the Jake Ryan (16 Candles Flashback) pick. The TE from UAB was worth a flyer. Otherwise I thought he reached on the others and there is no way they should have drafted a FB...regardless of his name.
Obviously if they nab a solid veteran ILB that's let go or 1 of the guys from last year steps up then the complaints are moot - But we've seen this movie before. They are too close to a SB to not be "all in" right now....particularly considering how quickly the window can slam shut.
By no means am I enthused with Ted's draft. You can technically say Ted drafted "win now" players with the 1st 4 picks likely slated for special teams at a minimum. And then you have Brett Hundley whose main purpose is to emulate Wilson/Kaepernick on the scout team QB.
I don't mind a FB with one of 3 7th rounders. If McCarthy/Rodgers insist on having a FB then you have one ready once Kuhn moves on. Ripkowski will need a lot time to learn the offense. He'll sit on the practice squad and season.
