Is anyone convinced about Palmer and Mulumba?
With Peppers for perhaps one more year (and no guarantee on that), isn't OLB a concern as much as DL?

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Miami LB Denzel Perryman lowers combine 40 time from 4.78 to 4.68 but pulls hamstring on 2nd run. Pro Day over
This guy has packer written all OVER him. Especially the Packer's brand ace bandage on his thigh.

Chat ended. We might never know. Kinda like whatever happened to Sidd Finch.
Except apparently Thomas things Jones will be a safety selected in Rounds 1-2.

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Yeah. I like Rowe too. Byron Jones and Rowe are the two corners I'd be happiest about landing early. I think they have high ceilings.
One of Kendricks, Anthony, Perryman to go along with Jones or Rowe and that'd be a pretty amazing start to a draft in my book.
CB and ILB Rankings at Green Bay's Likely Sweet Spots in the Draft (30 - 130) - CBSSports.com (as of March 30)
24 CB Johnson Wake Forest - that's a bit too high for him IMO
30 CB Peters Washington - uncoachable/character risk - Ted takes shots on these guys in the 7th not the first.
35 ILB Kendricks UCLA - His d-line kept him clean a lot but he's a bigger, faster, stronger version of Nick Barnett. He'd do just fine.
37 CB P.J. Williams Florida State - Has the physical traits you want but I'm not sure if he can play.
44 CB Quentin Rollins Miami (Ohio) - smallish, raw, unpolished is what I'm reading. Has only played CB for one year but tough, aggressive, hard worker...
45 ILB Bernardrick McKinney Texas A&M. I don't like him. He just doesn't seem to me to be an impact player.
47 ILB Anthony Clemson - He could be the guy Ted jumps on in the first too.
54 CB Collins LSU - One of the finest physical specimens at CB in the draft but raw and I'm not convinced he has enough athleticism to reach the potential his size and speed might suggest.
55 CB Jones Connecticut - He's moving up I'd say. Not sure he's gonna get to the 62 spot in the draft.
66 CB Darby Florida State - Speed to run with guys deep but I fear this guy is too much of a sprinter and not enough of a football player.
72 CB DJoun Smith Florida Atlantic - 5'10"
74 ILB Paul Dawson TCU - I like Perryman better than Dawson but they're similar players
76 CB Alex Carter Stanford - Good well-rounded prospect but not a lot to fall in love with
87 CB Josh Shaw USC - not good enough to overcome immature and stupid move jumping off balcony or the stupid, immature massive lie trying to cover-up said stupidity.
89 CB Doran Grant Ohio St. - 5'10"
93 ILB Perryman Miami - He's moving up too I'd say. No way he makes it to the end of the 3rd.
101 CB Steven Nelson Oregon St. - 5'10"
114 CB Ifo Ekpre-OlomuInjured - 5'9" not happening
118 CB Rowe Utah - I think he's a Day 1 starter and the team that drafts him may never look back.
128 ILB Heeney Kansas - smallish but fast and way underappreciated. I'd be very tempted to grab Heeney at the end of the 3rd even if they nabbed Kendricks or Anthony earlier. A ten-year contributor in the league whether its on Special Teams and special situations on D or every down on D.

Ted is going to have to draft an ILB in the 1st round just because there are so few of them with top potential. The CB position this year is deep with talent. Any of the first 15 have a chance to be standout corners. Guys like Mager, Shepherd and Rowe will be available in the 3rd, 4th and 5th rounds.
Anthony on the other hand won't last. He'll most likely be gone after the Packers' 1st round pick (might even be gone before the Packers 1st pick). And, as the NFL scout said (the one PB chatted with), I'd rather have Anthony starting at ILB on day one than Jones or Collins next year.
Besides, Dunderdummy likes Anthony.
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.
John Maxymuk, Packers By The Numbers
I think Craig Mager might be one of the best CBs in the draft, not that I've surveyed the field, he just looks like an NFL corner in his highlights.
Packers has a pre-draft visit with someone I have heard of. He plays QB.
