The majority of combine and AS Game interviews are for mid round guys or later as you look to UDFA's. The board is basically done with tweaks and due diligence / background is done or being done. And many of these guys with the exception of Senior Bowl are lower slotted guys....not reading too much into it
I think you're missing what I'm talking about. Only one guy in that entire mix is someone the Packers might even think about drafting, or signing UFDA, after the draft. They are throwing out low level guys as if they were "interested in them." Don't go by who they interview. Go by the people they didn't interview, at least formally. There's nothing that says they didn't eavesdrop on players talking to each other, or talk to them in non-interview situations.
The only guy I see them having some interest in would be Cody Thompson, who has the body type of Nelson. I don't know how well he uses his body, or hands, or even his speed, but I see strength and physical characteristics that interest me. Beyond that? I don't know.
Don't read what they did. Read what they didn't do, then figure out what it could mean. They aren't going to announce in headlines their intent.
Of course I could be wrong, but over the course of a lot of years, I've been right more than I was wrong, and I put a helluva lot of felons behind bars by knowing how to look past dialogue and what you see when people are watching.
One of my favorite things was to tell a guy I was interrogating that they had a tell, and I knew when they were lying. Of course sometimes I didn't see one. But, because they thought I did, they'd make changes in how they handled questions to insure the tell was gone. That's when they'd telegraph what the tell was, and what the new one was.
Believe what you want. I don't intend belaboring the point. In the end, it's just like the Chargers and the Raiders. I said from early on, exactly what was going to happen, and all the talk that was out there, and "facts" being presented showed only one direction this whole thing could/would go. It was the path not spoken of, because it would lead to acceptance of gambling on the periphery of the game, and whatever anyone wants to believe, the owners in the NFL saw billions of additional dollars out there for them if they welcomed the bettors in.
