Round 2 &3 Packer Picks

With their first pick, the Pack selected WR Randall Cobb of Kentucky. He's a 5'10, 195-pound player who has done it all - catch, throw, run, and return at Kentucky and is comfortable playing out of the slot. Green Bay wanted to go out and get a guy who could return kicks and it looks like they've done that. I'm not exactly sure how Cobb fits into the Packers offensive system, but I'm sure Ted Thompson has a plan on how to use his versatility.


With their last pick, Green Bay took RB Alex Green of Hawaii. Though it's hard to read how he will do in the pros because of the spread offense in which they ran, but he appears to have the speed (4.53) to go with his 6'0, 225-pound frame. He also has WR-type hands out of the backfield and supposedly has experience returning kicks. Tall, upright runner comparable to what the Packers have in Ryan Grant and James Starks, will this spell the end for Grant, who is a free agent next season, or Brandon Jackson, who is a free agent this year.
