Gilbert evidentally wants a shot again at camp. He is evidentally in shape. I wouldn't be opposed to giving him a shot and if he makes it he makes it. Him and Pickett in the middle would certainly make it tough to run against the pack.

I just don't see anybody I'd want to get rid of at the expense of Gilbert. He's got to be in his mid 30s and he had become injury prone.
If you want Grady, which of these guys would you want to get rid of?
Ryan Pickett, Colin Cole, Corey Williams, Cullen Jenkins, Donnell Washington
I guess Washington if he fails, but if he fails you have Peterson also and you still have 5 decent DTs."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

I say give him a shot. We couldn't do any worse as a camp body. And, if for some reason he actually makes it and is in shape, then kings to us!

That is the entire point of giving him his shot at making the team. You don't garantee him a spot, you simply let him come in a fight for one.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangersI just don't see anybody I'd want to get rid of at the expense of Gilbert.

Because his upside is is possibly even a downside for the Packers, he would have to be head and shoulders above the second guy in order to take the spot of the last guy, IMHO.
It definitely would not be a level playing field for him, but it would at least be a playing field and then we see what happens.
Hey! Maybe he can play Offensive Guard!

Would love Gilbert here. Less miles on the tires and has had a lot of time to get healthy and in shape. HAve Pickett and Brown eating up blockers and HAwk and Barnett running free to make plays.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

I think Carpenter will be gone by the 2nd round. I'm not that high on Ryans.
I'd rather we look at something else in round 2 if we get Hawk. Somebody like Antonio Cromartie if he falls and we don't get Woodson. Maybe a good DE or an OG like Davin Joseph."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

Carpenter might not be there, and if the Packers already took Hawk, they can hold off on a round 2 linebacker.
They need to bolster there defensive end position but I just don't think any player warrants the #35th pick unless Hali drops,
Maybe the Packers keep trying to upgrade their young secondary with more youth. There are a couple good safeties, and raw corners out there.
I think it isn't a reach going with David Joseph in round two or Nick Mangold at center, but that might be wishful thinking on Mangold.
