I'm Guessing The Packers Won't Be In Attendance

@AdamSchefter
Adam Schefter Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III each will have his Pro Day workout for NFL teams Thursday, March 22. Which would you rather attend?

I wouldn't expect the Green Bay Packers to attend either of their pro day workouts, but they should be in the market for a new quarterback to replace Matt Flynn. They'll certainly be taking a look at some quarterbacks during the scouting process.

Maybe Andrew Luck feels obligated to hold a workout for scouts, but I don't see what the point is. Are the Colts not going to draft him? Might they be willing to trade down? If Luck has a poor workout, would the Colts consider drafting someone else? I can't imagine anything happening other than Luck to the Colts.

Robert Griffin III will certainly be a high draft choice, maybe No. 2 overall if the Rams find a trade to their liking. I like Justin Blackmon but a package of three or four high draft choices for Griffin might be too good to pass up. He actually could use a strong pro day to his advantage and find himself right behind Luck in the draft.

As for a quarterback the Packers might draft, since they had success with Flynn as a 7th round pick, maybe they should take another one at the end of the draft. CBS Sports mentions a couple guys who might be worth a 7th round pick: Boise State's Kellen Moore and Houston's Case Keenum. Obviously they aren't great prospects, but we're talking about a 7th round pick. They also graded Yale's QB Patrick Witt as a 7th rounder, but that guy comes with some major baggage.

Chandler Harnish

He’s the late round guy I’d like to see them get. Just my $0.02.

As for this, obviously neither guy will end up getting drafted by GB, but would you be absolutely shocked if some GB reps were there anyway? Seems like a TT thing to do, just in case one or both don’t pan out on their first team and he wants a closer view to judge on when they hit FA.

I think the Packers will attend in some form

Seems they attend almost all of these things. I don’t think Thompson or anyone higher up will be in attendance, but a lower level regional scout should attend.

I’ld like to see the Packers pick GJ Kinne late in the draft or as an UDFA. Good passer w/ good mobility but is a passer first. Just a guy I kinda like.

I'm down for Kellen Moore as the new backup

football does not build character, it reveals character.

Opposite for me

I hope we stay away from him. Short and light on stature, and a weak arm. He worked great in that timing offense with Boise, but I don’t think he can play outside in Green Bay.

very similar to Flynn actually

well Flynn does have 1 inch and 25 lbs on Moore. Other than that, I’m still not sure that’s a valid comparison, I actually like Flynn’s arm strength, I wouldn’t call it “weak”.

Ditto- if we were going to take another QB and I believe we will, I would want them to grab Russell Wilson (if we are talking undersized QB’s), much more upside to his game I think- his only real weakness is his height.

by Tracker J Dunn on Feb 11, 2012 1:54 AM CST up reply actions

I like Moore

Seriously, watching his games how can you not like him. He’s very accurate, very mobile, feels the pass rush well, and please don’t tell me he doesn’t have a good arm. One of the best college games I ever watched had him throwing the winning touchdown. I don’t believe he had an interception in that game and just came thru in the last two minutes with an amazing drive. I would support that guy as a packers qb any day of the week. Oh, and Boise state is an outdoor stadium in Idaho, not exactly Florida there.

He needed a running start to throw it 50 yds!

Too small, in ht and wt, too frail, no arm… Wouldn’t touch him!

Case Keenum...

He reminds me of Harrell a little bit. Good accuracy, inflated offense jacked up his numbers. I’d be happy with him in the 6th/7th… Also Darron Thomas, maybe, I’d like to see what MM could develop him into… Both are 6’2, 210, so with a little bulking up they’ll fit the prototypical GB QB mold of the last few years.

I remember someone saying this about lineman before last draft. I’m not sure where people get these ideas from. I can guarantee the packers make all decisions based on relevant information- which I doubt includes race.

Perhaps you meant

Packers don’t do QBs whose main attribute is his athletic running ability as the main focus.Which would lead you to conclude the Packers don’t do black QBs.

Found this QB...

…at National Football Post’s web site.

Monmouth’s Alex Tanney seems to catching some eyes. There are some concerns about the level of competition he faced in college. But the scouting report shows he might be worth a long look.
