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.

Honestly they really could just BPA this high pick. They need difference makers at most positions (CB, WR, LB, TE, RB). If they re-sign Cook they could probably get by without a TE upgrade, but any of the other positions, getting a stud will really help. They are going to have high picks, so they really need to nail this draft, especially the first three rounds.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
If Lacy leaves, Dalvin Cook anyone?
No. This offense will not work featuring a back like Minnesota or Tennessee do. I would not spend the pick on a player that will get 20 carries in tight games.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Cook would be a good pick. He can catch the ball, and would instantly add speed to a slow offense.
It's amazing to me with all the 4.3 guys on O now, that they still look so sluggish.
4.3 ain't what it use to be. In the old days it was ready, set, go and the coach started the clock on go. You had a reaction time before the athlete started running. Now the clock starts on first movement of the player and the use technology to know exactly when the finish line is crossed verses the coach hitting his stop watch bottom.
The Olympics have started combatting this in the 100m & 200m races by having a delay time in when the gun goes off to when the runners move. If the runner moves too fast, he was anticipating the gun and getting an advantage by hoping to "cheat" the actually start.
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.

no running back. we're a passing team. needs to be the best wr available...or tight end (to take dickrods place).
Packers could be in Mike Williams territory. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/p.../mike-williams
I'd prefer a pass rusher, but the top of the draft looks weak there.
Would be nice to draft a star at and then keep Lacy on an injured fool discount. An upgrade at RB and WR would help us next year!
corey davis just broke the all time fbs receiving yards mark
CBS has Davis ranked 39th overall. If accurate, that could fit right in with Packers 2nd round pick. He'll probably go higher than that if he performs well at the Senior Bowl and Combine though.
