Jeremy Thompson GB DE/OLB (1 Viewer)

[LBH]

Thompson is listed as a DE by MFL, but will likely be reclassified as a LB later. He is currently ahead of Mathews and recieving great reviews by the CS in GB. Anybody like him as a waiver pick up that could stick around???

There are several guys currently listed as DE's (Larry English, Victor Butler as well as Jeremy) that are listed that way, I think they will update it when the "official" depth chart comes out.

They love him on the left side and he has been holding Clay Matthews back. They moved up in the draft last year to take him.

Sleeper maybe long term. If Kampman leaves next season or can't play OLB yes he could be a sleeper.

As long as Matthews keeps missing time to injury he'll have value. However, if Matthews can stay healthy he'll be the starter.

As a Packerfan I grabbed Thompson with the hopes that Kampman's spot will be his next year.

Kampman's not happy and in the last year of his contract. Next season the Packers will francise Kampman and trade him to a 4-3 team. Unless Kampman succeeds but with a hybrid 3-4/4-3 going on I doubt Kampman will be satisfied with more of the 3-4 going on in '10 than this season.

Kampman's going to want Haynesworth money and the Packers aren't going to pay it anyway.

Thompson appears to be headed to an OLB listing. If that's the case, he has little if any value. There are very few 3-4 OLBs that have any kind of value and basically they are the elite OLBs like Harrison, Ware, and Merriman to name 3. About the only way Thompson would have value is as a 4-3 DE. He won't be one in GB.

There are better players out there to gamble on. Thompson has position requirement questions and is unlikely to see the field enough to put up decent fantasy numbers in 2009. He's firmly in the "keep an eye on" list.
