With the 30th pick in the NFL draft the Packers select...

[Lurker64]

Is it the 29th or 30th pick? SD was the runner up in the AFC and they had the same record as us. How does that work?


I want the best player available. Hopefully it's not a DT.

We have the 30th pick by virtue of a better record than San Diego. Playoff progression is used in the following two ways to determine draft order.

1) Teams that play in the superbowl automatically draft 31st and 32nd.
2) Playoff teams with the same regular season record have ties broken in their draft status based on how far they progressed.

So we ended the season tied in record with Dallas and Indy, and we draft after them since we won a playoff game. San Diego ended up tied with Jacksonville at 11-5 in the regular season, and San Diego will pick after Jacksonville by virtue of winning one more playoff game.

The bottom of the draft looks like:
Jacksonville
San Diego
Dallas
Indianapolis
Green Bay
Giants.

Dallas picks ahead of Indy by virtue of an inferior strength of schedule.

Thanks for breaking it down. BAP CB would be nice. Al Harris got schooled tonight.

SD was 11-5..We were 13-3.

[BF4MVP]

We have months to talk about the draft.

Can't we just sulk?

Good call..After my previous two comments I'm done commenting on the draft until further notice.

[Travbrew]

A punter, Ryan proved he can't punt in cold weather....29 yard punt?

A first on a punter?

Whoa!

[BEARMAN]

What's left at the 30th pick ?

There are seven rounds you know. A lot of pretty good players are taken after the first round. You know, players like Bernard Berrian, Lance Briggs, Devin Hester, Hunter Hillenmeyer, Adewale Ogunleye, Charles Tillman, Olin Kreutz, Mike Brown, etc.

Oh wait, those guys play for the Bears. Never mind...

Let's wait a few rounds to consider a punter.

CB Jack Ikegwuono, WIS?

Ikegwuonu is a second or third round pick..Taking him at 30 would be a reach.

Top 10. Wait until the Combine. He wouldn't be going pro if he knew he wasn't going to be a multi-millionaire very soon.

Lurker, you could at least have had the decency to include Mike Singletary.

Per the thread, Vic Knight, the director of the Senior Bowl and fellow Packer fan in Mobile, says this is a draft good class for tall corners, but a weaker one for interior linemen.

Was coming into 07' with so much promise from soph season, was supposed to be top tier CB. WI secondary got worked week after week and JI was no exception in that group. What I saw of him this year, I dunno, that kid lost some draft position bucks bigtime, IMO. He would be better served to return for his senior season, try and regain some of his sophomore magic.

[NewsBruin]

One thing I worry about getting a corner is that it takes a few years to turn an NFL rookie corner from burnt toast to productive cover man.

Here's to hoping Al and Wood' can bring any newbie up to speed.

I'm sure there will be an extremely mediocre RB available at 30. Maybe the Bears want to trade up into the spot and draft him?

[red]

to me, we need help at cb first and formost

we need to get younger there

and another rb, a change of pace back to go with grant. i wasn't impressed by our other rb's at all this year

i think we're fine at qb, wr, lb, and middle d-line

we might be alright at safety, bigby looks like a playmaker, but collins is non existant. rouse did look good when given a chance

and i'm still not sold on our o-line and we could use more help at DE

maybe we just need a better defensive cord. like someone said, hawk needs to be set free, they're wasting him

[run pMc]

I think GB needs more depth, youth, and talent at CB, and OL. As far as who TT will pick at 30? Whoever the BPA is.

[Deputy Nutz]

Aquib Talib is going to go in the top 15 if runs a sub 4.5 forty. So kiss him good bye with little chance to obtain him with the 30th pick.

Top ten? Are you serious Partial? Or is this another one of your deep thoughts but then in conversation realize that you have only seen him play once or twice in 2007? The draft board rated him a low second round selection. Sure he could run a nice forty time, but the fact is he didn't have a very good season at all and some of the Big Ten receivers made him look foolish at times. His reputation is also going to be questioned since he missed a game with a stomache sickness. The word around town was that he was drinking the night before the game.

He came out because he wouldn't mind making a million dollars in his first year, and he saw his shot to put a money in his pocket.
