I anticipate an immediate rush on all the players who many expected to go in Round 1, so by the time the Packers pick comes up their options will be about what we expected earlier in the week. Ragland will be gone. Henry will be gone. Robinson & Reed will be gone. Etc.
That said, should GB be trying to trade up into the early second round?
To get who?
I think Ted stays put and double dips into the DT pool. There will be a run on them, something like 4 in 7 picks, but I think he'll hold steady and not trade up.
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

My draft board for the Packers would look like this right now:
ILB Reggie Ragland
TE Hunter Henry
ILB Deion Jones
OG Cody Whitehair
OLB Kamalei Correa
OT Shon Coleman
ILB Joshua Perry
DE Chris Jones
DT Jarran Reed
DE Jonathan Bullard
CB Xavien Howard
DT A'Shawn Robinson
OLB Noah Spence
WR Sterling Shepard
DE Bronson Kaufusi
OLB Kyler Fackrell
DE Jihad Ward
CB Kendall Fuller
OLB Jordan Jenkins
No idea where Myles Jack and Jaylon Smith might go.

Can anyone photoshop a Bong Mask onto Ragland or Jones before 6 PM tonight?
I can get it covered on Twitter.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Good list Harv. I think you're probably close. I still think the O-line could totally fall apart at tackle, and the Packers better address it. I'd be OK with Coleman, despite the age, disease, and knee, but even he's pretty far down that board and may not be there.
I really think the Packers need to draft a solid tackle - a guy who could start right away if necessary, like Clifton in 2000.

Harvey I like you list and I like that you have Joshua Perry listed as an ILB. I think he would make a nice transition to the middle. I like him better than Derron Lee. The Packers have Picks to move up in the second round and their is value there on paper. It just isn't what Ted does. He lets the draft come to him.
I see what you did there! Words!!

Anyone think Joe Schobert from UW should be an ILB?

Yes, I have his scheme fit as a 3-4 ILB or 3-4 OLB, but he's short for a 3-4 OLB.
I could see him being intriguing in round 3.

Patler why don't you entitle this thread:

If you watch his highlights and game footage his production on the outside is really good. He is built like an interior linebacker but I don't know if he can translate to the inside.
I love Schobert's value in this draft
I agree, everyone will be gone... Ted will stay where he is, and we'll get the usually "sizzle" - and of course no help at ILB.

My draft board for the Packers would look like this right now:
Dodd, Kevin DE 6'5" 277 Clemson
Shepard, Sterling WR 5'10" 194 Oklahoma
Correa, Kamalei DE 6'3" 243 Boise St.
Fackrell, Kyler OLB 6'5" 245 Utah St.
Spriggs, Jason OT 6'6" 301 Indiana
Nassib, Carl DE 6'7" 277 Penn St.
Spence, Noah DE 6'2" 251 Eastern Kentucky
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.

A WR we have never heard of.
I like Dodd best on that list, but he'll be gone. Correa would be okay in the 2nd, but he'll likely be gone too...
Don't want anything to do with Nassib, Spence, or Fackrell. Spence can play, but has a 10 cent head.
Spriggs is the kind of soft OL the Packers like - but I think he'll be gone too.
Don't want Shepard b/c I think he's a lesser version of Cobb. Don't think he can play outside, and has no special traits - we already have enough of those kind of guys.

Check.We're looking for "special traits" guys that will be available. Got it. Can any of these type of guys rush the passer?

Because Round 2 is the curiosity now, with a bunch of players still available who people expected would go in Round 1. I anticipate none to be there (other than maybe Jack) when the Packers regular pick comes up. By Round 3, the list will be picked over.
I think moving up will be very difficult, and costly. Teams with high 2nd round picks are considering players they never expected to be there, and teams who may have had a particular liking for a player now see the chance to move up and get him. Makes for a sellers' market.
Not really concerned with round 3, just the somewhat large number of apparent opportunities still available at the start of Round 2.
