    I'm starting to like the idea of taking a RB, maybe even Braelin Allen, not necessarily in the first round, but more likely in the second.

    If we could get a guaranteed star, I'd advocate taking a O Lineman, but it's hard to not think about generations of Mandarich, Sherrod, etc. I don't think we need a Corner or Safety, at least not early. I strongly don't think we need a Receiver or Edge Rusher. Maybe ILB early, but you have to pick and choose very carefully there. It might be better to take on 3rd or 4th round. D Line? The way Barry's D uses them doesn't justify a first round pick.
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    So no to RB in the 1st, no OL in the 1st because they bust, don't need CB or S in the 1st. No OLB or WR. No DL because Barry misuses them.

    That leaves ILB, TE, QB, P and K for the 1st round.

    All joking aside, I would look at OL, DL, CB, S, ILB and DE

    RB, OL, S and ILB seem to be the glaring weakness of this team if Alexander and Stokes come back healthy next year.

    Campbell had a great 1st year for the Packers and hasn't been anything close to average since.

    OL is doing better but you got to believe you can find a better RG and C than what we are lining up right now.

    RBs need to be upgraded but I agree with run pMc. There will be a lot of really talented RBs available in round 3 and later.

    I guess I would grab a WR or CB if anyone drops to where we are picking that is worth the value.
    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.

    If those are our only R1 options, then let's get the punter from Iowa.

    Maybe we can trade up to grab him and then carry 2 punters on the active roster because he can’t figure out how to punt in the NFL.

    what about long snapper? save that for day 2?

    they absolutely need help at many spots on the roster. I will be shocked if they don't draft 2 OL, 2 RBs and a S. There's maybe a 10% chance Jones AND Dillon are both back next year.
