4a - Blake Martinez, ILB - Stanford - 6'1" - 237 lbs
Comments: Tough young man, with a nose for the football. Film work show a very disciplined player that maintains his angles and is good against the run & pass. 4.71 in the 40 yard dash & is physically strong. The quickness may be suspect.
Fits my 3 sport athlete profile - football, basketball & volleyball in high school. And of course Stanford, passes the intelligence test - majored in engineering. Stanford Bio - click here
4b - Dean Lowry, DE - Northwestern - 6'5" - 296 lbs
Another academic school? Do you see a trend here? Are the Packers looking for "intelligent" football players? Maybe the new playbook will be in Latin this year? Or, the play calling will be
from the old WWII code of the Navajo Indians?
Lowry, a good 3-4 fit defensive end. Coaches love him, (another trend?) and plays with his hair
on fire. A good tackler, and WE NEED good tacklers! Interesting stat, had more tackles for losses
than Joey Bosa! Downside? Short Arms, does not always pick up the ball, and speed may be questionable.
5 - Trevor Davis, WR - California - 6'1" - 188 lbs
A receiver with speed, check out his combine workout - click here.
Looks smooth! Catches the ball! Cuts well! And, looks fast!
Found this scouting report - click here. My favorite part, was this:
"What earned him 2015 preseason All-American nods as a kick returner, though, was his record-setting game against Washington State.
In that game, Davis returned two straight kickoffs for touchdowns, one for 100 yards, and another for 98, helping the Bears to a 60-59 win in Pullman."
Like that! Special team help & a receiver with speed!
6 - Kyle Murphy, OT - Stanford - 6'6" - 305 lbs
Another kid from the west - of the Packs 7 picks - 5 from the west! A trend? No SEC players?
Has the size & build for the NFL. In the Senior Bowl week, he seemed to play to game better than the drill work during the week! Like any lower draft pick, lack the athletic ability of higher choices.
Will probably be moved to guard to start the year.
Scouting Report on Kyle Murphy - click here!
Pick #4, an inside linebacker. Question is, is this enough to make a difference?
Pick #5, a defensive end, we need defensive line help. Question is, does he press the QB?
Pick #6, a wide receiver with speed. Question is, can he beat out the receivers already on the roster?
Pick #7, an offensive tackle. With free agents next year on the offensive line, is he good enough?
Here we go - get ready!
