PACKERS ANGLE

The Packers will likely not draft a QB, and instead go the rookie free agent route for their 4th camp QB.

Look for the Packers to spend a mid-round selection on a RB.

54  FA    D'haquille Williams, Auburn (49, FA)

*player listed with capital letters did not receive a combine invite.

PACKERS ANGLE

Probably not as big of a need as some think. The talent is there. It just needs to get healthy. They will not pass on good value at the position though, particularly an outside receiver with some speed.

MY FINAL TE RANKINGS

Rk  Rd    Player, College Team (consensus rank, consensus round)
1   2     Hunter Henry, Arkansas (1, 1-2)

20  FA    David Grinnage, North Carolina State (16, 7-FA)

*player listed with capital letters did not receive a combine invite.

PACKERS ANGLE

An area of need, but this is a weak draft for TEs. I only have the top five projecting to be solid starters in the NFL, and Higbee has a character concerns (otherwise, he'd be #2 or 3 ranked TE). If the Packers can get one of the top four with their third round selection, I look for them to do so.

1   1     Laremy Tunsil, Mississippi (1, 1)

27  PFA   Tyler Johnstone, Oregon (24, 7-FA)
28  PFA   DAVANTE HARRIS, Appalachian State (25, 6-FA)

*player listed with capital letters did not receive a combine invite.

PACKERS ANGLE

Another area of need after the poor play of the backups last year, and the pending free agency of David Bakhtiari. The Packers will likely use a surprisingly high pick on OT.

MY FINAL OG RANKINGS

Rk  Rd    Player, College Team (consensus rank, consensus round)
1   1-2   Cody Whitehair, Kansas State (1, 1-3)

18  7-FA  TED KARRAS, Illinois (17, 6-FA)
19  7-FA  CHASE FARRIS, Ohio State (21, 7-FA)
20  PFA   VI TEOFILO, Arizona State (19, 7-FA)
21  PFA   Joseph Cheek, Texas A&M (16, 6-FA)
22  FA    Nila Kasitati, Oklahoma (20, 7-FA)

*player listed with capital letters did not receive a combine invite.

PACKERS ANGLE

Another area of need with the pending free agency of both starters, but the Packers have been successful plucking starters at OG in the middle rounds. If one of the top five were to slip until the 4th round, it would be hard for the Packers to bypass them.

MY FINAL OC RANKINGS

Rk  Rd    Player, College Team (consensus rank, consensus round)
1   1     Ryan Kelly, Alabama (1, 1-2)
2   2     Nick Martin, Notre Dame (2, 2-3)
3   2-3   Graham Glasgow, Michigan (4, 2-4)
4   3-4   Joe Thuney, North Carolina State (6, 3-6)
5   4-5   Max Tuerk, USC (3, 3-5)
6   5     Evan Boehm, Missouri (5, 4-5)
7   6     Jake Brendel, UCLA (11, 6-FA)
8   6     Jack Allen, Michigan State (7, 5-6)
9   7-FA  Austin Blythe, Iowa (8, 5-7)
10  7-FA  Matt Skura, Duke (9, 6-FA)
11  PFA   JORDAN WALSH, Iowa (10, 7-FA)
12  PFA   MARCUS HENRY, Boise State (13, 7-FA)
13  PFA   KYLE FRIEND, Temple (12, 7-FA)

*player listed with capital letters did not receive a combine invite.

PACKERS ANGLE

With two starting caliber OCs on the roster, there is no need at the position. However, Glasgow, Thuney, and Brendel also project to OG. Those three might be possibilities.

27  PFA   Branden Jackson, Texas Tech (28, FA, 4-3 DE)

*player listed with capital letters did not receive a combine invite.
*players are listed at the position they'd best fit a 3-4 defense, but some players better fit a 4-3 defense, so there's some discrepancies with my positions compared to most draft sites.

PACKERS ANGLE

An area of need because of the lack of bodies available to play the position.

*player listed with capital letters did not receive a combine invite.
*players are listed at the position they'd best fit a 3-4 defense, but some players better fit a 4-3 defense, so there's some discrepancies with my positions compared to most draft sites.

PACKERS ANGLE

A major area of need after the retirement of B.J. Raji and suspension of Mike Pennel. It wouldn't be a surprise if the Packers took advantage of a deep DT crop and grabbed two players at this position with one being at the top of the draft.

[pbmax]

PBmax: do you see any influence of Twitter on the draft? If so, what?

Nah, only on the reporting of it. You have to be skeptical anyway even when you hear things from people you know, I can't believe anyone on a team is watching it. Not even @alonzohighsmith ‏or @eliotwolf46.

I suppose there could be a case of farce, someone hears a conversation started over Twitter about something unlikely and it gets passed along without knowing. But that kind of egregious error probably means the person isn't fit to weigh in on these decisions anyway.

I think its mostly speculation, misinformation and fake outs. The WWII Casablanca of the modern world.

College recruiting however, I think can be influenced by social media.

*player listed with capital letters did not receive a combine invite.
*players are listed at the position they'd best fit a 3-4 defense, but some players better fit a 4-3 defense, so there's some discrepancies with my positions compared to most draft sites.

PACKERS ANGLE

An area of need with the impending free agency of Julius Peppers and Nick Perry. Clay Matthews moving back to OLB alleviates the need a bit.

PACKERS ANGLE

Look for the Packers to spend a mid-round selection on a RB.

Hey Harv....you think the Packers could go for Drake?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Hey Harv....you think the Packers could go for Drake?

Personally, I don't think they'll go with a change of pace back. It's never been TT and MM's thing. They'll look for a possible three down replacement for Lacy and Starks. I think Dixon and Washington could be more than just third down RBs, but I think Ervin and Drake project as third down RBs (potentially dynamic ones though).
