Micah Hyde - Packers

[MeatMan]

Good pickup. And I totally called it. I'm a genius.

 

[awd4cy]

As a Packer fan I love this pick. Great get in the 5th rd.

 

[franstheman]

Is that the first Hawk taken? Good God, last year's team was the least talented in a loooooong time.

 

[NCHawker]

Good for him. And good for the meatman - pure fkg geniusness

I heard someone say they plan on using him as a 3rd CB and to run away from punts.

Mike Daniels, Brian Bulaga, that one kid that transferred to Tulane.......

...... Dezman Moses, its a reunion in Green Bay this summer!

Ted Thompson loves Hawkeyes, and GB needs depth at both CB and FS. Natural fit for Hyde.

Williams, Shields, & Hayward are locked in as the top 3 CBs.

Davon House is #4 and was in the mix to start last year until he got hurt in the pre-season.

Jarrett Bush in #5, he's their best special teams player and can play safety in a pinch.

Hyde has his hands full to even make the roster as a CB.

He is the reason they released Charles Woodson.

Agreed. He's like a cross between Charles and Rod Woodson, with a little Dion Sanders mixed in.

After watching Hyde play this year I wasnt sure if he would even be drafted.

Like Marvin last year he has a tough road ahead of him, GB as stated, has quite a few CBs on the roster.

They wouldn't draft him if they didn't want him, and they have to cut half their defense to make room for the Clay Matthews and Aaron Rodgers extensions.

Good point. Micah is good value. How much of next year's cap is devoted to Rodgers and Matthews.

Who knows if Green Bay sees Hyde as a corner or safety? Either way, everything you just said about Bush stands for Hyde....he can play either corner or safety and should be a very good contributer on special teams.

NFL.com lists Micah as a FS. I highly doubt he'll be a CB in the NFL. maybe in on dime and nickel packages, but not a true CB.

 

[thetrza]

Just wait until Doyle gets his hands off of him.

 

[Hawkfnntn]

He reminds me of Merton Hanks who was giving hugs the first day of the draft. He's a big shot working for the NFL in some way now. Whats the over under on his party getting busted?

Especially in Green Bay. Hyde is a zone corner and the Packers play a lot of m2m, bump and run coverage.

And yet, he won the award for top DB in the conference, go figure.
