Official 2017 NFL draft thread

[RashanGary]

Would be nice to draft a star at and then keep Lacy on an injured fool discount. An upgrade at RB and WR would help us next year!

corey davis just broke the all time fbs receiving yards mark

Davis seems more like a TT guy. If TT is around. Maybe Aaron wants Mike Williams with the Hopkins comparisons.

I'm a fan. He has really good production and can run routes. With Jordy on his last legs and Cobb being AWOL for chunks of games I'd be ecstatic if he was there in R2 and TT took him. (I think he'll sneak into R1 unless he runs a 4.6 40, though.)

CBS has Davis ranked 39th overall. If accurate, that could fit right in with Packers 2nd round pick. He'll probably go higher than that if he performs well at the Senior Bowl and Combine though.

i've also seen sites having him go in the top 10

which may fit right in with our first round plans

PFF has him going #7 overall

sports illustrated has him at #13

on that last series davis just had a great one handed snag, on the next play he had a great block out in front of the runner, and he capped it off with an amazing back shoulder catch where he was falling out of bounds and dragged his feet

that one series just showed all you need to see from him

I take it you're on the Davis bandwagon. Rankings on him are all over the place right now, but he sounds like a 1st round pick more than a second.

i'm an alum, we gotta support our own

but the kid does seem to have all the physical gifts and tools

[texaspackerbacker]

I will go with a wideout this year, and Cody Davis looks like one of the best. We have all that quantity but no top level quality. Any RB no matter how good in college is a crap shoot to do it in the NFL. Conversely, you can be sharp about picking a second level RB and have him rise to the top in the NFL.

[call_me_ishmael]

I think the secondary looks a whole lot better if the front 7 is revamped. My position of needs for the Packers in order are: Pass rusher, pass rusher, pass rusher, offensive guard, cornerback, running back, pass rusher.

With the win, the Packers go from picking between 7-11 to 10-14.

[smuggler]

I think Jake Butt or possibly OJ Howard might be the way to go.

corey davis just showed some jordy nelson pre injury speed

i don't know if he has off the line speed, but he's got that top gear you need. sure didn't look like a 4.6 forty guy on that play

[Freak Out]

Defense.

[gbgary]

Defense.

nah...FA for that...or later in the draft. 1st 3 rds need to be O.

[Bretsky]

What does "FA" stand for ? Is that Green Bay's version of Playoffs for Jim Mora ??

[texaspackerbacker]

All those asterisks on that list, those are players who might come out early, right? I kinda doubt about half of them will.

Ted has put us in a spot where we need way more than one of the positions talked about. And it's like Bretsky said about the FA thing. I still think the most immediate fix that will do the most good is a big fast wideout - unless there is clear and convincing evidence that Jordy Nelson is gonna return to his pre-injury speed.
