Trade Up For....
Trade Down For...
Cooper DeJean - plug and play slot cb / safety - incredible ball skills and intangibles
Troy Fautanu - instant plus starter at guard, but able to play tackle as well
Ruke Orhorhoro - raw but exciting DT that is still learning the game - sky is the ceiling type of athlete
in that order of preference.
I'm hoping they grab Murphy or one of the Robinsons. They have capital to move up if all three are going off the board. Let Hafley work his magic on the back end with what we have and a later pick db.

dejean just looks and sounds too perfect for what we need
trade up to get him if you have to

Now that they have signed McKinney and supposedly are shopping around for another FA Safety, I doubt they draft a Safety, Dejean or other in the first or second round. I said before we ever got McKinney that I was hoping they go the FA route, as Safety is one of those positions where hotshot college players don't often translate to great pros, at least not in their early years.
What do we need most with the new D coordinator? Still hard to say. It's a lot easier to say a lot of position groups we don't need. The biggest needs are probably RB and ILB, neither of which is usually a good idea to take in the first round.

If you haven't watched Wahle, you're missing out. Good break down of Rasheed Walker, and great thoughts about draft at the end.

I don't have time right now, at what point does he talk about Walker? I'm interested as I think that if he plays like he did the last 4 weeks and the playoffs we are set at LT for awhile.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
After some reading, I think I want them to take JPJ in the first round:

i'd be more then fine with him
get rid of that mistake at center we have now
Voted Other in the poll, and my ideal choice is JC Latham. Quite possible he goes in the 10-24 range, though.
Would be happy with a corner prospect if there is no OL available, or DL if Newton falls down to us.
About a quarter way or a third in to the video. I didn't watch everything he had to say, but my takeaway from the analysis (no disagreement from me, at any point):
Film was from the Panthers game... Walker is a plus effort player with good natural strength and issues with (most specifically) hand technique, pad level (narrowing base and standing too tall), footwork (some false steps, but also some curious strategy about initial posturing pre-snap -- coaching).
Grand takeaway is that Walker should not be considered a liability, but the jury is out - if he improves the technical aspects, he's got the physical traits and a good motor and the marriage of all those things could make him a damn good LT.

i've seen latham going after our pick, so don't count anything out
Hand tech is the easiest thing to learn. I'm not concerned with his pad level because he is big and long, and in the run game he moves people regardless of how (and pad level is nearly impossible to teach. You have natural low center or not). He does need more work on his feet and its not easy to learn, but he improved throughout the year so I expect more.

Mike McCarthy would be foaming at the mouth if he read this, but he stopped reading Packerrats after he left.

I never liked him as a poster. Always talking about how Packer Rats needed to clean things up.
But constantly promising it would get cleaned up.
Made me feel very reassured.
Pad level! Pad level! Pad level!
Where's Mike McCarthy when you need him?

I really can't get very excited about Packer picks until they happen. I definitely hope they do not take an OLineman in the first round. The closest thing to needs that we have are ILB and RB, neither of which are generally good to take in the first round. So I guess, getting a hotshot pass rusher like Robinson would be my choice.
