    The more I think about Day 3, here are some of my thoughts:

    1) Unless Jerell Adams falls or TT takes a flier on Tyler Higbee at some point, I think the Packers will pass on a TE. It's a weak draft class--which is probably the biggest reason why TT signed Jared Cook. I see the Packers going into training camp with Jared Cook as their stretch the field TE, Richard Rodgers as their red zone TE, and let Kennard Backman, Justin Perillo, and Mitchell Henry battle for one or two spots behind those guys.

    2) I have a bunch of ILBs lumped together in the 4th-5th round range, so I could see TT grabbing one in the next two rounds--unless they think Fackrell can play ILB.

    3) Unless there's big-time value (like Malcolm Mitchell dropping to the bottom of the 4th), I think the Packers stay put at WR.

    4) I think the Packers will look to add another OL (OG), DL, and CB. If I had to predict the positions the Packers pick, I'd say ILB, OG, DL, CB.

    I've not felt TE was much of a need after they signed Cook. Some seemed concerned that Cook is on a one year deal, but I'm not any more concerned than I am that Lacy, Bakhtiari, Sitton, Lang and Tretter are also on one year deals. I might even be less concerned with Cook, because I think he will stay if things go well. He openly talked about being disappointed in his personal accomplishments so far in his career. I think he will stay for a decent offer, and won't shop himself as much as some might.

    Agree that TT is likely to stand pat on WR. Abby and Janis came on strong at the end of last year, and if he's comfortable with them I can see him not wanting to add bodies.

    It also appears that TT's happy at the RB position.

    It might be Matt Judon time. He killed it at his level. He could make Nick Perry expendable after this year.

    Why? Just because he didn't draft an RB?
    He has picked four players all at positions of apparent need. He can't draft two at once!

    The operative word was ...........'appears'.

    I was simply hoping he would pick at RB Patler.

    There is still a few decent ones left on the board...next pick....maybe?

    Howard, Jordan RB 6'0" 230 Indiana 6.1

    Perkins, Paul RB 5'10" 208 UCLA 5.6

    Collins, Alex RB 5'10" 217 Arkansas 5.5

    Williams, Jonathan RB 5'11" 220 Arkansas 5.4

    Pressley, Jhurell RB 5'10" 206 New Mexico 5.4


    Ferguson, Josh RB 5'9" 198 Illinois 5.3

    Taylor, Kelvin RB 5'10" 207 Florida 5.3
