Packers one of the interested clubs in Badger O'Brien?

O'Brien Schofield was a stud for the Badgers last fall. Not to mention, he always had a smile on his face. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL at the Senior Bowl, and now is likely to be selected toward the end of the draft. If the Packers are truly interested, it would mean a change in direction for a team that hasn't exactly teemed with Badgers over the years. Passing Chris Chambers for Robert Ferguson, Troy Vincent for Terell Buckley have haunted the Packers for years now. I always thought that Jack Ikegwuonu would do well in this league, and he had a knee injury as well, but Schofield measures much higher on the character and intangible scales than Jack ever did. I would take Schofield in the 5th round, stash him on IR (perhaps he can keep Justin Harrell company, let a medical professional track his rehab, and groom him into a solid 3-4 DE or OLB.
