This Jonas brothers interview is awesome
Why should you go to jail for a crime someone else noticed? You don't need double talk... You need Bob Loblaw.

Re: Round One - Lukas Van Ness
Wish we had a coordinator to get the most out of him, but in a vacuum I like the pick. Hawkeye/Packer Pipeline continues.

Re: Round One - Lukas Van Ness
Athletic:
SUMMARY: Coming off the bench at Iowa, Van Ness was primarily an edge rusher in defensive coordinator Phil Parker’s four-man front, but he also saw significant snaps inside over the B-gap. The Iowa coaches reward seniority, so John Waggoner and Joe Evans started at defensive end last season, but Van Ness had more defensive snaps than either and led the Hawkeyes in tackles for loss and sacks. Regardless of alignment, Van Ness has high-end tools with his length and play strength, which allow him to wear down blockers as a pass rusher or stack, locate and play off blocks in the run game. A hockey player most of his life, he credits his time on the ice for developing his balance, urgent play style and competitive toughness. Overall, Van Ness needs coached up with his pass-rush construction and overall pacing, but he is an ascending player and competes like a grizzly bear with his fierce power and explosive twitch. He has the upside of an impactful NFL starter with inside/outside versatility, regardless of scheme.
GRADE: 1st Round (No. 10 overall)

It seems like a good pick but I'm sad we didn't get JSN.

Re: Round One - Lukas Van Ness
I like Van Ness as I have mentioned several times, but not where the board was. Would have gone Gonzalez or JSN.

Re: Round One - Lukas Van Ness
Van Ness is a good (not great) player, but I would not have given him a first-round grade for a lot of reasons (listed below), and with so much talent still left on the boards at positions of need for the Packers, this seems like a reckless luxury pick for a team that should be acquiring as many true cornerstone players as possible.
F*ckin' yikes.

Something a little d-bag looking about the dude but they needed edge rushers so good there.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.
