3rd & 7 37yd

Scouts worry about him not being very flexible and more of a straight-line type of rusher.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:01:11 AM
Had a very good senior year after being invisible before that.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:01:28 AM
Adams had a second-to-third round grade on him.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:01:55 AM
He's not nearly as talented as Kenny Clark, but he's that kind of size and style. He's not the monster nose tackle who's going to sit in and stuff the run all day long.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:03:01 AM
Great....I think most of us are thrilled with a converted WR playing running back. Thompson is guilty of roster malfeasance for being ignorant of the rb position

by Fennis 4/29/2017 3:03:23 AM
You realize that there's four more rounds to go right? And that there are backs in the NFL who aren't first-round picks, right?

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:03:59 AM
I guess that shows what we think of our first rounder last year Kenny Clark.

by 383bull 4/29/2017 3:04:13 AM
What does it have to do with Clark?

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:04:20 AM
As usual, I don't understand this pick..doesn't really seem like it fills an immediate need?

by Bubby82102 4/29/2017 3:04:28 AM
He's a pass rusher. He's not a run-stopping nose tackle. He has some juice in his legs. That's why they took him.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:04:54 AM
Really don't trust TT's drafting of DL...so many workout warriors/stat machines and very little football motor. Concerned we just pulled in another.

by Arthur Vandelay 4/29/2017 3:05:00 AM
Now that's a legitimate concern.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:05:06 AM
Tom, how do you put up with all the negativity from fans?

by PackerfanTastic 4/29/2017 3:05:14 AM
It's not negativity. They just lose perspective when it comes to the draft because there's so much information about the top picks and nothing on the bottom ones.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:05:46 AM
Here's Thompson:

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:05:50 AM
Thompson: We got all three guys on defense. Maybe we'll do something about that tomorrow. We felt the draft went well.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:06:37 AM
Thompson on speed at DB: Speed, size, athletic ability, we felt they had those qualities. They sure did.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:07:12 AM
Thompson: I think you're always trying to get faster. I don't think it's a negative thing. Football is about explosiveness, speed...

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:07:48 AM
Thompson: This is not your grandfather's NFL. Everybody is fast everybody is quick.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:08:15 AM
Thompson on Adams: He's got the versatility to move around. Ran 4.8 at 300 pounds.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:09:13 AM
Thompson on King: We like his size, his height, arm length, speed. Like the way he covered on the outside and can move him inside.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:09:43 AM
Thompson on RBs: There are other avenues for position players. We try to stick with our habit of taking best players available.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:11:59 AM
Thompson on Josh Jones: He has tremendous physicque. Athletic. Can run like the wind. Can be in the slot, in the box, deep part of defense.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:14:22 AM
Thompson on secondary: Tried to add some more pieces to the pie. Secondary in the NFL is a tough place to be.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:15:05 AM
Thompson on OLBs: We need some football players tomorrow. We'll worry about the roster makeup as we go along.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:17:04 AM
Ok rather than guessing the actual player, what positions do you see TT picking to finish out the draft?

by Razikk 4/29/2017 3:18:41 AM
I think it's a crapshoot. I think your guess is as good as mine. It's clear he's looking to add athletes to the team and he's not that worried about where they play. He obviously feels fine about his offense and thinks it's more important to add athleticism on defense. I don't know where he'll go with the rest of his picks. I would think a pass rusher would be likely but I can't say when he'll take one. Same with running back.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:20:40 AM
The comments from so-called "fans" who think they "know it all" is hilarious...but also pathetic.... to think 'you fans" are qualified to analyze any of this is absurb

by CptOvs 4/29/2017 3:20:46 AM
Tom - nice TT told you the night is done so you guys can type your stories. Thanks for a great blog. Are you doing it again tomorrow?

by lambeau west 4/29/2017 3:20:55 AM
I will be here tomorrow with some help from Michael Cohen.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:21:10 AM
Does Ted have some early dementia? He seems to struggle to remember things in his press conferences

by Dagger 4/29/2017 3:21:15 AM
Some of it is his subtle humor to act like he doesn't know what's going on. I think the long hours take a toll on him but he's also messing with us a little bit. I remember thinking he was this way last year too.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:22:21 AM
Thanks Tom. Has to be a grind on your end, really appreciate the info and insights.

by PortlandPackFan 4/29/2017 3:22:26 AM
Get some sleep Tom!

by greg 4/29/2017 3:22:27 AM
Will do. I'm going to take off and get going on my writing responsibilities. Let's reconvene tomorrow for the final rounds of this baby. Be on time because the Packers pick first. I will start a little early and we'll be off and running.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:23:52 AM
BTW, Montravius Adams became a father early this morning. Not a bad day for him to get drafted and becoming a father on the same day.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:24:43 AM
His son is Montravious Adams Jr.

by Tom Silverstein 4/29/2017 3:26:02 AM
They must have thought Seattle would take King. Obviously Jax offered them a similar pkg to jump up for the o-line. Just too many guys go off the board between picks. You can't get everyone.

by js 4/29/2017 3:26:08 AM
@CptObvs it's football not rocket science. Anyone with a decent IQ can analyze the draft and player quality.

by @CptOvs it's football and... 4/29/2017 3:26:11 AM
There's a story I just read that Montavious Adams was drafted by the Packers just minutes after his son was born, lol. Congratulations to him on both counts!

by LakeshorePackerBacker 4/29/2017 3:26:13 AM
Adams not only got drafted by the Pack tonight - he also became a father tonight!

by Pack Fan in Maine 4/29/2017 3:26:14 AM
Thanks Tom! Could some of the rest of you stop being such drama primadonas

by Dan L 4/29/2017 3:26:16 AM
I've always been a TT supporter based on the teams he has fielded. However, let me the first to tell you now, Montravius Adams is going to be another BUST of a defensive lineman and TT wasted another high level pick. I like the King pick but we don't need another safety. We need top level pass rushers, RBs and an OG. Tom help me out here!!!

by Tim 4/29/2017 3:26:22 AM
See you all tomorrow!!
