Just have faith.

As a stockholder of the Green Bay Packers, I have to trust that the organization has prepared for the draft.

I've stopped listening to the pundits. Who cares what someone outside the Packers organization thinks of the draft picks.

Recently heard a radio talk show host laughing about the analysis of how short the arms of Green Bay's No. 1 choice were.

For the record on the NFL's web site, Kenny Clark's arm length is just over 32 inches.

There is also this listed under weaknesses: Short and missing arm length to be better tackle finisher. Allowed unusual amount of broken tackles (4) for an interior lineman.

Here's what I do know. The Packers had enough faith to use their top pick to bring him to Green Bay. As fans, we should support that decision.

Clark was a co-captain at UCLA and earned All-PAC 12 First Team. He was second on the team with 75 tackles, so he must have been able to use his short arms pretty well.

With B.J. Raji missing from the Packers defensive line (at least for this season), help was needed in that area.

Clark appears to be a solid selection with what he accomplished on the field for UCLA as a 20-year old junior.
