"The Green Bay Packers began Day 2 of the National Football League draft intent on beefing up their defensive front seven. When Friday night was finished, their two selections were a play-making wide receiver-kick returner and a big running back. Such is life for a championship team that was content just to let the board come to them. "Picking late in every round, it's a little agonizing because you watch a lot of good players come off," general manager Ted Thompson said. "We felt pretty good those guys were there when it was our turn to pick." Rather than boldly move up in the second round for a pass-rushing outside linebacker, Thompson remained at No. 64 and selected Kentucky's Randall Cobb, a dynamic player who immediately becomes the frontrunner to return both punts and kicks as a rookie and then replace Donald Driver in the slot when his career comes to an end. In the third round, the Packers undoubtedly were keenly interested in Hampton's mountainous Kenrick Ellis, a combination end-nose tackle who surprisingly lasted until the Pittsburgh Steelers' pick at No. 94. That left Iowa's Christian Ballard as probably the last remaining 5-technique end of merit. But the Packers also passed on Ballard, a second-round talent who reportedly tested positive for marijuana at the combine. Having just missed out on Alabama's Mark Ingram in the first round, the Packers selected Hawaii's Alex Green, a running back with only one year's production but considerable unharnessed talent. Thus, for the first time since 1996, the Packers' first three selections in a draft all will line up on the offensive side of the field. "Just the way it worked out," Thompson said. "We hope they all pitch in. How much they play, that will be determined." Read more: http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/120932024.html
Hows this running a reverse? Only thing the Packers could of added was to the OL. Everything else was fine imo.
