    On offense, perhaps the most attractive prospect for the Packers' wish list was Indiana tackle Jason Spriggs. On defense, there were nose tackles Jarran Reed and Andrew Billings plus 5-techniques Hassan Ridgeway and Jonathan Bullard.
    McGinn's article doesn't seem to compute. If Ridgeway and Billings were amongst their most attractive prospects (no mention of Fackrell), they why did they bypass those two with their third pick?

    Harv,

    It's awesome you put these lists together. TY for doing so. My work has been insanity this year so I have not had the normal time to research.

    I hope Schobert goes to GB or NE. He's a great kid and a winner; I"d love to see the guy win a title
    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 ?

    HERE IS A GUY I REALLY DO LIKE FOR GREEN BAY; I HAD HIM AND A PUNTER ON MY LIST

    RB Tyler Ervin: Spent five years at San Jose State and left as one of the most versatile players in school history. Ervin played running back, slot receiver, return specialist, cornerback and special teams in his career. He functioned best as a dual-threat runner, evidenced by more than 1,600 rushing yards and 334 receiving yards last season.

    Slender build at 5-10 and 190, makes up for it with athleticism. He led running backs at the combine with a 39-inch vertical leap and tied for second in the broad jump (10-10). Could be a nice weapon coming out of the backfield for the Packers. Ran a blistering time of 4.39.

    Nice list. I do appreciate those of you who really get into the draft prospects and update lists like this.

    I notice you don't have Sheldon Day on your list. Oversight or intentional?
    He seems to be high on some lists, an afterthought almost on others. I remarked a couple days ago that I wasn't excited at all about the Packers taking him anytime before Day 3, because he is another in the mold of Daniels and Ringo, undersized, high-intensity players, but wouldn't mind him late. But now, with two fewer draft picks available after the trade, I don't know that I want them to go that way at all, although I wouldn't mind another DT like perhaps Billings

    Super happy with our first three picks. I think the first two especially will go a long way in improving this team. I don't know much about Fackrell, but I think he could be a darn good situational pass rusher at first and improve over time.

    That being said. Today I'd love to see us add Schobert. Also does anyone think we take the German kid in the 6th?

    What the heck is up with Billings? I thought he was a late 1st/early 2nd prospect?
    All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

    I have Day as a better fit for a 4-3 DT, but I do realize that teams don't play exclusively 3-4 or 4-3 anymore. See Mike Daniels, who would seem an odd fit for a 3-4. The Packers could draft Day, but I went for the best fits for what the Packers do, and I have a suspicion that a 4-3 team is going to like Day more than the Packers.

    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 like Ervin the most of the guys that I'd consider third down RBs, but I think it's against TT's MO to draft those guys. If he goes outside the norm, I'd endorse Ervin though. He might be the most athletic RB in the draft. Lasco actually tested better and is much bigger, but I didn't see the same athleticism on tape. I think Ervin is a great athlete. I think Lasco tested better than he plays.

    I like the addition of Henry and Ridgeway. I could see TT double dipping there, and they (along with Reader) are the most natural fits for GB. I'm also going to add some WRs that I like.

    Harv has some good names, here are some of mine:

    (Note: I have no idea where these guys will go, hell they could go undrafted, but it's players I think TT could go after. I also may have repeated some that Harv has too.)

    James Cowser - DE/OLB - S. Utah (Has TT written all over him)
    DeVondre Campbell - ILB/OLB - Minn.
    Nick Kwiatkowski - ILB - WVU
    Matt Ioannidis - DE - Temple
    Miles Killebrew - SS - S. Utah
    Anthony Zettel - DE - Penn St.
    Stephen Weatherly - OLB - Vanderbilt
    Victor Ochi - OLB - Stony Brook
    Joe Dahl - OG - Washington St. (TJ Lang 2.0 - if we lose Sitton or Lang next year, I want this kid to replace one of them)

    Ervin's on my list of guys who could make fans forget about John Kuhn. I like the way he sees a hole and darts into it. Plus, he's lined up before as a slot receiver. Great hands.
    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 wanted to keep my list shorter with guys that I think fits the Packers the best. Otherwise, I could just post my entire board.

    I added Listenbee initially just because of his speed. But after watching his tape the guy is a beast fighting for the ball downfield. He might not exactly be TT material, but I'm hoping.

    After watching his tape, Paul McRoberts reminds me of Donald Driver. Not quite as speedy, but the same route running and tenacity. About the same size too.

    I have Kwiatkoski, Killebrew, and Dahl on my list. I didn't add OLBs because the Packers have enough needs that I don't think TT will double dip at OLB. If the Packers do see Fackrell as a potential ILB, then Cowser and Weatherly would be good fits.

    I really like CB Ryan Smith. He's got height, speed and attitude. He's a great return man too. Plus this per Lance Zierlein:

    Smith also accomplished something you don’t hear very often; he set the team career record for solo tackles with 168 as a cornerback... ...Ankle-biter as a tackler.
    LOL Wist!!!!

    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.

    The way the OL played last season (stumblebum)...I can see TT grabbing another.
