The #Packers have put OG Simon Stepaniak on the reserve/retired list. They drafted him even though he tore his ACL in a bowl game and he wasn't able to get into a game last year. He started out camp, but he was out yesterday and today.

Makes sense now why they doubled down on drafting more G/T O-line this year

Bob McGinn called that one right away, damaged goods

Swing and a miss, but at least it was a late day 3 pick.

That was a classic Ted Thompson pick.

A 6th round pick. I suppose it's possible they knew he'd go IR, and wanted to stash him there??? I don't want to believe they had no idea what was going on considering they were drafting him. That would be pretty stupid.

Um TW his injury and staus were known......

Then he is a stash player, I'd assume.

He’s a retired player now, knees weren’t responding

Won't blame GB for spending a 6th round pick on a guy who would have been a higher pick without his injury. Seems the knee never healed right. Pretty much all late round picks are gambles to see if they will ever pay off.
