Good list, but maybe too short. It could be that none will be available when GB picks.
The Packers 2nd and 3rd Round picks could be enough to move them up 10-15 spots. Is it worth it?
Their second, third and fourth might be enough to move them barely into the top 10 of the second round.

Where would Dodd fit? Green Bay has not drafted an OLB who timed worse than 4.75 in the 40 (except Ricky Elmore and that was a disaster) and 7.26 in the 3 cone. Dodd tested 4.86 in the 40 and 7.32 in the three cone. I don't think he's good enough in space to play 3-4 OLB. I have him as strictly a 4-3 DE. In fact, his overall athleticism would be worse than any OLB that TT has drafted, including Elmore.

I didn't think it through that far. I'm going by this: http://cheeseheadtv.com/blog/nfl-dra...odd-de-clemson
I mainly want some pass rushers. Dodd seems like one of them.If drafted by the Packers:
Even with the resigning of Nick Perry and Matthews planned move back outside, you can never have enough pass rushers. Also, Julius Peppers and Nick Perry will be free agents after this season, so the Packers should be looking to add pass rushers in the draft. There could be several good options available when their turn comes at the bottom of the first round, including Kevin Dodd.
Dodd is probably best suited to play as a 4-3 defensive end, but I think he can also play OLB or as a 3-4 DE if he adds a little weight. Although he did look more comfortable rushing from a three-point stance at Clemson, he has a good combination of size and athletic ability to do both. Position doesn’t matter so much either because the Packers play nickel more than base defense. His flexibility, like Peppers and Datone Jones, gives him the ability to play standing up or with his hand in the dirt and he could drop back in Capers zone blitz. With his playmaking ability, he could be very disruptive opposite Mike Daniels and Clay Matthews.
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.

I'd love to see Cravens in green and gold as a hybrid ILB. I think he would be a great add. Deion Jones is another guy I'm fond of. Either way I think the next pick will be defense as well and I wouldn't be surprised to see us double up on defensive line if the right guy is available.

I've been to other forums. Didn't find a place better than this one. No one's trying to take over the board by being silly, railroading the threads, or juts being a knucklehead. Every once in a while we'll get two posters who don't like each other going at it, but they're usually really good at filtering their insults through football-esque arguments.
You'll get a lot of decent analysis and strong opinions all over. Everyone is treated pretty well here.
My two cents.
No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

Lickher, welcome.
If anyone offers you an orientation don't bend over.
God, it would be so nice to land Myles Jack... do it TT... take the risk!! If you win one superbowl as a result... it's worth it!
