| Sounds like something Monica Lewinski would giggle. That is all. |

I believe his real name is Ha'Sean. I think the story goes that his grandmother started calling him Ha Ha at a young age and it stuck. So he uses that.
More importantly, not only did I think he was quite possibly the best player available at that point, the Packers need serious help at the safety position. This kid is battle tested and comes from a school that demands a lot of their safeties with the schemes they run. Time will tell for sure but this could be a home run pick for the Packers. Getting a TE or a LB would be a nice addition in the second round. |

Getting a TE or a LB would be a nice addition in the second round. Glaring needs are safety and tight end. They got the safety (likely best in the draft too), and that means they gain a good CB too, by leaving Micah Hyde at CB.  They'll go for TE next. Also need LB, C, WR.
From what I've read, they had a list of 5 defensive guys they wanted with the 1st rnd pick who had a chance of being on the board at #21. 3 were LBs (C.J. Mosley - Ha Ha's AL team-mate, Ryan Shazier, and Anthony Barr), and safeties Ha Ha Clinton-Dix or Calvin Pryor. Ha Ha was the only one left on the board at 21st pick, but Ha Ha was higher on their list than Barr or Pryor, so they're happy. The only offensive players they would've considered over a defensive one, would've been TE Eric Ebron or WR Sammy Watkins, but both went much earlier as expected. I expect some of those below to be Packers' 2nd (#53) and 3rd round picks (85, 98), depending on who's available. Post draft Edits in red TE - Austin Seferian-Jenkins (definately #2 pick if still on the board... might trade up for him too), Jace Amaro, Troy Niklas or C.J. Fiedorowicz (in the order listed). 1st 3 guys were gone by the Packers' pick, passed on 4th to take WR Adams LB - Kyle Van Roy (another possible trade-up choice if they lose out on Seferian-Jenkins), Jackson Jeffcoat, Scott Crichton, Jeremiah Attaochu Van Roy taken by Lions ahead of Packers, Crichton & Attaochu taken by others too Center - Marcus Martin taken by 49ers WR - Cody Latimer, Jordan Matthews didn't think Adams would be available... we got lucky on this one, he's a great WR, likely better than the others I listed, and when he was still on the board, they passed on the 4th TE to grab him. Mind blowing college stats... led all of NCAA football last year with 131 catches and 24 TDs, and in two years he caught 233 passes for 3,030 yards and 38 TDs as Fresno State QB Derek Carr’s favorite target
less likely, but possibles: SS - Vinnie Sunseri (Ha Ha's Alabama team-mate) drafted CB - Stanley Jean-Baptiste drafted by Saints On saturday, rounds 4 - 7..... don't be surprised if they pick Jared Abbrederis in the 4th (maybe just wishful thinking on my part  ) Got him in the 5th or Beau Allen DT in 5 or 6 drafted in 7th by Eagles. Other notable Badgers RB James White pick 130 by Patriots and LB Chris Borland picked in 3rd by 49ers will likely get picked elsewhere, tonight.
