I was surprised Kenny Clark didn't go even higher.. Great leverage guy. Great HS wrestler like another Packers DL Mike Daniels.

— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) April 29, 2016

Clark's big 2015 included a monster effort versus UW, where he posted a sack, 5 hurries, and 6 run-stops. He had 7 sacks for the season.

From earlier this week: As Kenny Clark embarks on an NFL future, a murder conviction keeps father in prison #GBpick https://t.co/ocikWh9zje

— Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) April 29, 2016

One thing that stands out about Clark is the number of tackles he makes, 75 last season. That's an insanely large number for a nose tackle.

— Brian Carriveau (@BrianCarriveau) April 29, 2016

Thompson says #Packers were "very excited" to get Kenny Clark at No. 27. "We weren't sure we'd have that opportunity."

— Jason Wilde (@jasonjwilde) April 29, 2016

Asked Ted Thompson where he sees Kenny Clark lining up on DL: "We move those guys all around. I can't tell you. We just draft him."

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) April 29, 2016

Thompson said he took "a few calls" to trade back, but decided to stand pat and draft Kenny Clark.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) April 29, 2016

No big surprise GB grabbed UCLA DT Kenny Clark. Since Ted Thompson took over GB in 2005, he's taken 5 UCLA players, more than any school.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 29, 2016

Kenny Clark joins Mike Daniels as former wrestlers on the d-line. Mike Trgovac also was a former state champion #Packers

— Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) April 29, 2016

Clark: "I feel like I'm very versatile. I can do whatever they ask me to do, whether it's play nose, 5, 3. I can do anything."

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) April 29, 2016

Clark said he's already Facetime'd with Datone Jones since #Packers picked him. Brett Hundley has called, too. Green Bay is new Hollywood.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) April 29, 2016

Kenny Clark said the main two players he models his game after are Haloti Ngata and Geno Atkins. Speed and power. Two interior pass rushers.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) April 29, 2016

Kenny Clark will wear #97 for the #Packers.

…Kenny Clark has grown man strength. Truly believe he has the power, body, athleticism and skillset to be a Fletcher Cox claiber of player

— Ben Fennell (@BenFennell_NFL) April 29, 2016

4thQ under :20sec and UCLA up 16pts.. Love the effort by Clark in this situation! @KCBoutThatLife pic.twitter.com/gP8VDeDdCx

Jason Spriggs #48, OT, Indiana

Packers traded up directly in front of Bears to draft Indiana OT Jason Spriggs.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 30, 2016

Not just this draft, new #Packers OT Jason Spriggs is one of the most athletic OT since 2000 via #RAS. pic.twitter.com/vxtzER0ySV

— TJ Lang (@TJLang70) April 30, 2016

In 2015 with the Hoosiers, Jason Spriggs allowed just two sacks in 431 pass attempts. #Packers got a good one.

— Michelle Bruton (@Michelle_NFL) April 30, 2016

"I'm worried about all things at all times." Ted when asked if he was worried about another team in the division taking Spriggs.

Packers fans, meet Kyler Fackrell, the No. 7 edged defender on PFF's draft board: https://t.co/0jg5RUfAx5 pic.twitter.com/ceKVLbJBEb

— Pro Football Focus (@PFF) April 30, 2016

Kyler Fackrell had 5 sacks, 15 TFLs last season, his first back from missing almost entire 2014 with torn ACL. Should be stronger in 2016.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) April 30, 2016

Fackrell wants to gain 10 pounds to 260: "Speed kills. I always try to win with speed first, but I need to incorporate upper-body moves."

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) April 30, 2016

Blake Martinez #131, LB, Stanford

131 #Packers Blake Martinez LB Physical w/ good tackling technique. 2 down thumper. Not very explosive. Slow twitch player.

— Shane P. Hallam (@ShanePHallam) April 30, 2016

The highest 2015 coverage grade in among linebackers in this draft class belongs to Stanford's Blake Martinez, +10.9.

— PFF Draft (@PFF_College) April 30, 2016

My favorite LB Blake Martinez stat: in 2015, he had 84 MORE tackles than the team’s second-leading tackler (141 tackles). #Packers

— Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) April 30, 2016

Blake Martinez is a classic Will ILB, ran a 4.62-second 40 at Stanford's pro day. Expect #Packers to use him as nickel and dime linebacker.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) April 30, 2016

Blake Martinez ran a 4.20-second, 20-yard shuttle at combine, second fastest of all ILB. Reggie Ragland's was 4.28. Scobby Wright was 4.47.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) April 30, 2016

Blake Martinez said his mom always told him through pre-draft he'd be with #Packers. What'd she tell him today? "Moms are always right."

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) April 30, 2016

Seale on Martinez in nickel: at stanford he played on 3rd down, also can play special teams.

— Pete Dougherty (@PeteDougherty) April 30, 2016

Dean Lowry #137, DL, Northwestern

Dean Lowry recorded 1 bullrush pressure for every 25.9 pass rush snaps, the 3rd-best rate by an edge rusher in this draft class

— PFF Draft (@PFF_College) April 30, 2016

Northwestern DE Dean Lowry is 6-5 3/4, 296 pounds with 31-inch arms and 76 1/8 wingspan. Frame for 5-tech end, arms to play 3-tech tackle.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) April 30, 2016

Dean Lowry led the FBS over the past two seasons with 15 batted passes

— PFF Draft (@PFF_College) April 30, 2016

Can't wait for everyone to talk about how Dean Lowry is "tough", "coachable" and a "worker" . AKA = white guy they didn't watch

— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) April 30, 2016

Wolf said Dean Lowry can play inside as a 3-tech DT, outside as a 5-tech end, even stand up some as an OLB.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) April 30, 2016

Trevor Davis #163, WR, California

#Packers fans should be really excited about Trevor Davis. An Emmanuel Sanders type. Told about him late, ended up with a 4th grade from us.

— Eric Galko (@OptimumScouting) April 30, 2016

Trevor Davis continues Packers' trend of going for great athletes. 85th percentile for his position by SPARQ.

— Jason B. Hirschhorn (@by_JBH) April 30, 2016

Trevor Davis ran 4.42 w/ a 38.5" vertical. @chad_reuter included him in his "better pro than college players" piece: https://t.co/NGPGB5OUM7

— Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) April 30, 2016

The @PFF numbers aren't great on Davis, but he had a higher Yards Per Route Run than Laquon Treadwell, and only 2 drops on 53 targets.

— Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) April 30, 2016

Trevor Davis had the 5th fastest 3 cone drill of any wide receivers in the last 5 years at the combine

— Cody Bauer (@CBauerNFLDraft) April 30, 2016

Davis on why left U of Hawaii: to go to a bigger school, a bigger stage.

— Pete Dougherty (@PeteDougherty) April 30, 2016

Seale on WR Davis: Speed. I'm an old Raider, speed kills. Once you have speed that's all u need. Very big hands, can catch the football.

— Pete Dougherty (@PeteDougherty) April 30, 2016

Kyle Murphy #200, OT, Stanford

Per @PFF, Kyle Murphy only gave up 13 pressures last year. PFF ranked him as the 7th best OT, with 3rd round grade.

— Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) April 30, 2016

Murphy is 6-7, 301 pounds. Was first team all-Pac12. Started at left tackle last year, right tackle the year before that.

— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) April 30, 2016

Stanford OL Kyle Murphy said 60 or 70 percent of teams see him as offensive tackle, but others see him as a guard. Gives #Packers options.
