Is that the new "Bite Em In The Kneecaps"?

It's even more effective than that!
If Guter drafts nothing but safeties, corners, linebackers and offensive linemen, I will be just fine.
Don't forget running backs, they need someone better than Emanuel Wilson or Patrick Taylor.
And before someone says "they're fine" or "re-sign Dillon", try to remember how many explosive plays those guys had, and then think about how many Jones had despite missing half a season. You need to replicate Jones, not keep JAGs.
Agreed. There's some pretty good ones between rounds 3-5.
1 51 Trey Benson Florida State 6'0" 221
2 61 Blake Corum Michigan 5'7" 210
3 72 Jonathon Brooks Texas 6'0" 207
4 78 Bucky Irving Oregon 5'9" 194
5 83 Will Shipley Clemson 5'10" 205
6 93 Audric Estime Notre Dame 6'0" 227
7 107 Braelon Allen Wisconsin 6'2" 235
8 138 MarShawn Lloyd USC 5'9" 210
9 143 Frank Gore Jr. Southern Miss 5'7" 199
10 160 Cody Schrader Missouri 5'9" 214
11 162 Ray Davis Kentucky 5'9" 205
12 167 Emani Bailey TCU 5'9" 207
I did forget - thanks for the reminder. Yes, they need to draft a couple RB's.
But please, not Blake Corum. He scored a lot of touchdowns because he got a lot of carries, and really, to me, was not super strong nor shifty nor did he have awesome vision. Got rode hard and put away wet.
I'm playing favorites because I follow Notre Dame, but I'd be really happy if Packers could get Estime with one of their 3rd round picks.
The PFF draft sim sure hates Edgerinn Cooper & Cooper Beebe.
I've mostly been using this, since it's a consensus draft board based on hundreds of other sites and their player rankings.

PFF has rankings that sometimes get weird. I use their sim occasionally, but mostly I like the writeups and explanations of why they do or don't like a guy.
I liked Corum LAST year, and then he got hurt. Now I think he's got a lot of use, and maybe overexposure. He's ok. Don't really want Gute to pick him and doubt he will. I could see them get a guy to be a Jones clone, and a guy to play the bigger back Dillon role. Gute said they want a bigger back, and Emanuel Wilson is bigger but I think they can do better than him. Maybe that means Troy Benson or Brealon Allen on Day 2, but it could just as easily mean taking a guy like Kendall Milton or Dillon Johnson in R6.
I don't think Corum is destined to be a Packer, and I'm fine with that. Hopefully that's not a reverse jinx. Then again, I said I didn't want Gary or Love (thought the picks were too risky) and look what happened there.
