Mike McCarthy would be foaming at the mouth if he read this, but he stopped reading Packerrats after he left.

Last call.
I've seen a lot of mocks the last couple of days, done a few myself, and am really surprised how many mocks are suddenly showing Cooper DeJean available at #25.
A month ago, I never would have thought it possible, but now I'm wondering. If he's there, I say we grab him. Almost anyone else who'd still be on the board at #25, I'd trade back into the 2nd and pick up an extra 3rd. We're in that weird "dead zone" in the talent pool where just about anyone else who'd still be available would likely be no better than a couple of other players who'll still be there in the early 2nd Round.
I hope someone trades up and drafts your boy Cooper right before the Packers.
Close, Mad. Better than that is if DeJean is sitting there at #25, and the Packers trade back - and someone else takes him.
My final call goes something like this. Gutes trades up 3-5 spots for Cooper. When drafted he is announced as a DB, not a CB.
This being the "should" poll - what we'd like to see, not the prediction thing, I am just now getting in, saying I'd like to see Chop Robinson, who apparently is the best edge rusher/4-3 OLB prospect available. He may very well be gone, so I'm not predicting that we get him.
I’m for Cooper, as all the best OTs will be off the board. I think the Pack is more likely to trade down though and load up for targeting specific guys in rounds 2-3.
I think if Gutes pulls off a trade to land DeJean it will be my favorite start to a draft ever. And most rats will then be just fine with our 2 picks. After that I don't know enough to instantly like or hate a pick. Zach Tom wasn't on my radar until I saw the tape and noticed he dominated some top guys. Same with Stokes until I saw how he basically shut down everyone the SEC threw at him. Or Wicks until I read the article about them changing his entire scheme and QB going into his senior year. I guess that why Gutes is the GM and I'm a fan.
I'm heading down to Detroit later to check it all out. It's going to be a madhouse. Wish me luck.
Maybe Gute just hangs tough Bobble. No team took that mustard guy with a late 1 so they might be hesitant to spend an early-mid 2. Could get him on the clearance rack.
I don't. I remember a lot of people expressing opinions, with varying degrees of confidence, that he woud likely be gone. Kinda what people do on message boards, ain't it? Express and discuss opinions; exchange points of view?
But I don't recall anyone planting a flag and insisting it; just expressing opinions. You were one, in fact. In fact, you were one of the ones predicting we might trade up to get him, just Wednesday morning.
That apparently wasn't a ridiculous point of view 12 hours before the pick, but now it is?
Don’t have a melt down Frozen, you might still get to fanboy Dejean today.
Nobody's having a meltdown. Some of you guys keep talking about people melting down or people's heads exploding, but I haven't seen a single post where anyone has "melted down", or even come close.
I think your imaginations are getting the best of some of y'all.
The eagles swooping in to get him set you off huh? :lol:
Man you need an avatar. How about this one?
