A D-lineman who grew up on hockey skates, and I can't get the Larry Sanders nightclub video out of my head.

Seriously though, it's not very sexy but it was a pretty common projection.

Im fine with this. If JSN turns out to be a stud we'll look dumb but I didn't fully get the obsession with him.

The fact that we traded up in front of NE and they traded back after we made the pick makes me question that.

Would've rather taken Broderick Jones or JSN but as I said before....I can be sold on anyone. Don't think he will be a huge force this year though.

A lot of the usual talking heads on Twitter, that are wrong year after year after year, seem to really hate the pick. I guess that's a plus.

Could be good, who knows. At this point I can't get hyped about our first round defensive picks anymore.

Feel like we could've just traded back and still landed him

We'll know in about 3 years

With Gary's ACL injury, edge rusher was just as much of a need as WR or TE. I cannot fault them for this pick too much.

I'll be ready for the 'LLLoooUuuu' crowd reaction when he does something decent on the field, cause we so Green Bay like that.

Hard for a coordinator to screw up linemen, hence Gary's success.

Really happy with the pick. Ton of upside at a position of need. I think we’ll get one of the TEs in the second.

Yeah, Barry shouldn't hold him back-- just probably won't maximize his strengths to the extent a good coordinator would.

I love having the worst coordinator in football and having to worry about him holding our high picks back. Good times to be a Packer fan.

Seeing him pose for the camera gave me some Keith Millard vibes. Millard played inside more often than not but was 6-6”

That works.

In his highlights he looks a lot like Preston Smith. Big, strong pass rusher. Plays the run pretty well too.
Faster than Preston.
