ME TOO
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
ThunderDan, which Board in Fanspeak did you use to get these results?
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

I used the Fanspeak board.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

I've been playing with Fanspeak for a while and the challenge is using a Board that reflects some realism. A couple of them are just plain bizarre. I like the CBS and NFL ones. Fanspeak ain't bad either.

I was listening to Sirius XM NFL Radio's "Moving the Chains" on my commute home today and they did their last fan mock draft where they had a prominent caller from each team's fan base (some of these guys are like minor celebs from all the times they call in). The guy who picked for the Packers chose Reggie Ragland at #27. The very next pick by Kansas City's fan rep was A'Shawn Robinson.
Here is a link to their entire fan draft: https://www.facebook.com/siriusxmnfl...type=3&theater
In the real draft, if Ragland and Billings are gone by #27, I wouldn't be opposed to getting Robinson if he's there.

I have seen several projections of CJ Prosise going to the Packers. He is an interesting player, for several reasons:
- good size at 6'1", 220 or so
- was recruited as a safety and did play there a couple years
- asked to work also at WR and ended up leading the team in yards per catch at 17+ on 26 receptions 2 years ago
- then was asked to work also at RB because of need this year, and quickly moved up the depth chart
- Special Teams Player of the Year for work on coverage teams, he didn't return kicks.
The kid is just a football player, willing to do whatever he is asked to do. Tackles well, good route runner, good hands, willing to run inside. Decent speed. Just plays football and his results are always good. Obviously raw at RB, but has shown a willingness to learn.
Could be an interesting pick.
C.J. Precise needs a spell checker. Or a prufereeder.

I wouldn't mind this, if it wasn't for the fact that Daniels is on board for the long term, and they seem to think a lot of Christian Ringo, too. Day will be another from the same mold, undersized high effort guys. If he should fall to them later in the draft I wouldn't mind, but I think there will be better uses for their third round pick.
Jordan Howard? I've been trying to find a RB to fit in the third. My assumption is Prosise is gone by then and the UCLA kid is too small to inherit lead back duties if/when we let Lacy walk after this year for a comp pick.
To be honest, as far as who might be available in the third round, I haven't the slightest clue. I don't look into the players that much too have an opinion about who will go where in the draft.
I don't think Lacy is going anywhere, unless his performance is miserable this year. The clouds that hung over him as a draft prospect haven't cleared, even if they have changed a bit. I don't think there will be an outrageous offer out there for him, such that the Packers will let him walk. In fact, I think he comes back as good as ever, and he gets extended this season, both as compensation for being a bargain under his rookie contract and as a reward and incentive for refocusing his career.

I agree, Pat. In a walk year, with everything on the line, perhaps even seeing his former AL teammate TRich flame out (OK, he's got one last chance with the Ravens), I think Lacy will be a man on a mission. Starks is a good compliment, and hopefully can find some stickum and hang onto the ball better. I really like John Crockett. He came out of a good FCS school that ran the ball effectively. He showed some promise last year. Does that mean they don't need another back? No. Does it mean they can wait until late in the draft or priority free agency? Perhaps.

SB Nation has a cool consolidation of many mock drafts, complete with pie charts showing by percentage which players are predicted to go to each team in the first round. The article said that they will update all the way up to the draft. Looks like most expect Green Bay to choose a DL.

Interesting, today I saw Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft and it has the Packers selecting Javon Hargrave. Hadn't ever seen that one before.

Interesting. Smuggler had Murphy going to GB in 3rd rd.
