The Green Bay Packers went head-to-head with one of the top defensive fronts in the NFL and won, pulling out a 24-10 victory over the St. Louis Rams at Lambeau Field.

Wisconsin’s Rob Havenstein didn’t have to wait long to find out where he would start his NFL career.  Havenstein received the call from the St. Louis Rams, in round number two (57th overall).  Havenstein was projected by many as a third-round selection or later.

Havenstein was the eighth offensive tackle selected in this draft.  He was the 17th UW offensive lineman drafted since 2000, after starting 42 games at right tackle for the Badgers.

The Rams are trying to bolster their offensive line and offense overall.  They selected Georgia tailback Todd Gurley in the opening round on Thursday night with the 10th overall pick.

The Rams also selected Louisville left tackle Jamon Brown in the third round, No. 72 overall.

Cobb emerges as new Packers weapon

Randall Cobb practicing

Green Bay Packer Randall Cobb has been described by Aaron Rodgers as “a little bit of Greg Jennings” and also Ted Thompson’s best draft pick ever.

In 2012, Cobb has lined up as a wide receiver, punt returner, kickoff returner, and running back.  He certainly has shown that he can do it all at the professional level.

Rodgers has nothing but positive things to say about Cobb, including a comparison between Cobb and Greg Jennings.

Cobb has already surpassed his number of receptions from 2011, and is only 30 yards away from breaking last season’s receiving total of 375 yards.

With over 100 yards receiving and over 100 yards on special teams against the Houston Texans, Cobb has cemented his place in the Packers offense and special teams.  Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says Cobb isn’t done yet either.
