Former BYU star is up for grabs

July 7, 2010
Unga should be picked in next week's supplemental draft

The NFL will hold its supplemental draft on July 15 and the most intriguing prospect is Harvey Unga. At 6-0, 242, the former BYU star is a bruising running back with soft hands. As of today, there’s no guarantee that Unga will even be selected, but that could change if he performs well at...

DRAFT’S OVER, BUT QUESTIONS REMAIN

DRAFT’S OVER, BUT QUESTIONS REMAIN

The Packers entered the draft with four major needs, and it’s safe to say that Ted Thompson filled two of them by drafting tackle Bryan Bulaga and safety Morgan Burnett. And while a number of cornerbacks and outside linebackers figure to be signed as undrafted free agents in the next few days, it’s fair...

The topic, of course, will be the Packers and the NFL draft. We’ve been asked many times about hosting chats and we’re going to finally...

DRAFT USED TO BE MORE ENJOYABLE

I used to hate it when some “old person” would tell me how much better things were when they were young. Movies were better back then. So was music. And, of course, there was no comparison when it came to sports. I would just roll my eyes and swear to myself that I would...

THE PACKERS SELECT…WHO KNOWS?

THE PACKERS SELECT…WHO KNOWS?

We have no idea which players the Packers will choose over the course of the next three days, and anyone who tells you differently is lying. Ted Thompson is as tight-lipped as any general manager in the league and his staff is every bit as secretive. Therefore, nothing he does should surprise anyone. In...

DON’T SAY BYE TO 4-3 JUST YET

DON’T SAY BYE TO 4-3 JUST YET

Coach Mike McCarthy hired Dom Capers to bring the 3-4 to Green Bay, but that doesn’t mean the 4-3 is history. In fact, after what happened over the weekend, expect to see a lot more of the traditional defense in 2009. “McCarthy will talk about the 3-4 ad neauseam between now and the start...

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES

You can’t be a dominant 3-4 defense without a quality nose tackle and two playmaking outside linebackers. And while nobody knows for certain if Aaron Kampman can make the transition from end or if B.J. Raji and Clay Matthews have what it takes to excel at the next level, the odds of the Packers...

THE GREEN BAY PACKERS SELECT…

THE GREEN BAY PACKERS SELECT…

We have absolutely no idea whom the Packers will choose in the first round. And anyone who tells you differently is flat-out lying. Ted Thompson is as tight-lipped as any general manager in the league and his staff is almost as secretive. So even though we spent the past few days analyzing eight players...

ANALYZING THE PACKERS' ROSTER

ANALYZING THE PACKERS' ROSTER

The NFL Draft is less than 48 hours away. The Packers have nine selections – including two picks in the third and sixth rounds. While GM Ted Thompson will almost certainly choose the best player available at No. 9, he’ll be looking to fill needs after that. So what are the team’s greatest needs?...

PREVIEW: AND THEN THERE WERE 8

PREVIEW: AND THEN THERE WERE 8

The draft is three days away and we still have no clue (surprise, surprise) as to what GM Ted Thompson is thinking at No. 9. Assuming that Green Bay has no shot at outside linebacker Aaron Curry and offensive tackles Jason Smith, Eugene Monroe and Andre Smith, and no real interest in quarterbacks and...
