The NFL Draft is Difficult To Predict
The NFL Draft is (FILL IN THE BLANK)
What is the NFL Draft? It is all the above! 32 NFL Teams. 32 Head Coaches. The General Managers. 32 teams trying to win a Super Bowl!
The Packers Plan? We know! Draft & Develop! Draft & Develop! Draft & Develop!
Start the Develop part with out first pick! We left Tramon Williams & Devon House go! We turned a STRONG cornerback group into a weak cornerback group. so, draft a cornerback, and we did!

Some quotes:
"Damarious has not even scratched the potential of how good he is, and he's been pretty good," Graham said. "I think he's one of the best safeties in the Pac-12.
"The two things I like most about Randall when examining his skill set are both very valuable tools. 1) I love the fact that he seems capable of defending players in a man to man setting for the most part. I saw him run hip to hip on those occasions where he is asked to man-cover a slot receiver or grab a tight end. He can do that very well. 2) His ball skills are impressive. If there is a ball in the air and he is in the area, he is a strong candidate to go get the ball. He looks very comfortable with his ability to play the ball and that should not be undersold. He is also an exceptional blitzer who has a knack for timing his runs well and also is a standout on special teams as a guy who made a few impactful plays covering kicks and punts. There are a lot of positive attributes." Bob Sturm
What do I think? First round, a stretch. To me it shows some desperation. Letting Williams & House walk to me was a mistake. I know it was dictated by salary cap. But, it looks like he could prove very valuable on a 53 man roster, special teams, returner, tackler, safety, cornerback. And I understand he plays a great centerfield (Good for the Packer softball game!)
