The Packers will undoubtedly sell a lot of Vince Biegel jerseys after selecting the Wisconsin linebacker with the first pick to start the fourth round.

Vince Biegel's 4.67 combine dash was identical to Clay Matthews' in 2009. Not bad for 4th round, though VB's 1.64 10 split wasn't CM's 1.49.

It’ll take a few years to know exactly whether the trade down from the first round was a good decision, but it sure feels like it right now.

You guys realize that Ted went to the store for Kevin King and made them also give him Vince Biegel for nothing.

Biegel at NFL Combine: "I would say that I am a 1st-round type of
player. Any team that doesn’t get me in the 1st round is getting a steal."

Packers took Biegel with the extra pick they received from the Cleveland trade - the one that took them out of contention to draft T.J. Watt
