also a TT pick
so we're looking for a guy who everyone has as a 3rd or later pick because he's only managed to play 3 games in his college career do to injuries, but has flashed potential in those three games

Packers currently have the 17th pick. The last time they had the 17th pick (1960), they selected DB Bob Jeter.
i think OT is a major need
baluga can't be counted on at all to be healthy and spriggs just flat out sucks
ILB is still probably our biggest need...
Unfortunately for me, I slo-mo'd quite a few TB inside running plays... neither Ryan or Martinez can play at all. As bad at playing LB as Hundley is at QB or Spriggs is at OT.
I'm sure TT and co. think they're fine all around though.
It's tough work playing ILB for the Packers, because the Packers play just 2 D-Linemen more often than just about any team in the NFL. The Packers ILB's are not protected from blockers as much as on other teams. Martinez has played very well. When an ILB has to make a tackle 5 yards down field, it's not always the ILB's fault.
5 yds or more... I saw several examples today where he could have either filled a hole with authority, or at least stepped up, taken on the lead blocker, and closed down the angle. Instead, he consistently sat where he was and waited passively to absorb the oncoming lead blocker and runner. Result?? Consistent 7-8 yd gains.
Ryan was just as bad.
Whenever I take the time to break individual plays down, it's almost always the same sad result.
To be fair to them though... a lot of their hesitation, timidity, and lack of playmaking is likely the fault of Capers.
One of the announcers on the post-game show called a spade, a spade.... he said, "no need to rush Rodgers back for a team that isn't going anywhere anyway".
The Packers are not a good football team.
MOAR PASS RUSH PLS
Packers are back to the 16th pick.
I'm fine with drafting an OT early if the value is there. But I don't think it's a bigger need than speed wide receiver, tight end, cornerback or pass rusher.
i think every single one of us would rather draft a WR in the second round
that seems to be the one position and round TT seems to excel at
TE is a complete waste on our team. we don't know how to use them, we aren't gonna use them like other teams do. we could have gronk on our team, and he wouldn't be a dominate players like he is now
As badly as we need O Line help, teams way too often don't have much success with drafting O Linemen in the first round. In addition to that, the Packers seem to have an annoying habit of drafting undersized supposedly mobile O Linemen instead of big bruisers.
I'd rather see another potential shut down Corner drafted. King and Randall may not be busts, but both seem much more suited to being the team's second or third Corner behind some top flight #1. Assuming Ted would stubbornly refuse to sign a star quality free agent Corner, it would be good to draft one.
I think the reason it looks like TT is decent at drafting WR's is because who is throwing them the ball. AR makes mediocre talent look great.
yup...cb and edge.
Packers currently have the 15th pick.
we need a RT
RT, WR, TE, CB, EDGE. Packers do have lots of picks next year.
I would like us to sit Rodgers the rest of the year. We have nothing to gain by him playing.
Get a better draft pick.
We've drafted cb's, edge, ILB's, and OT's...
And they're all still needs??
What's wrong with that picture??
because that guy has turned out to be complete shit who can only keep his QB upright if he gets help
i agree that it looks like WR is now a big need. we need someone other then adams. jordy is done, cobb has a moment once or twice a year and geronimo isn't gonna get there
i just hate the thought of having to throw away more picks at OLB and CB. i guess it wouldn't hurt to throw a high pick on an OLB
It was a rhetorical question.
Losing Shields is what forced the early DB picks this past draft. I think Thompson would have chosen an edge rusher, otherwise.
