    I say Thompson. Like what I've seen out of him in limited time.

    Is Mark Lee supposed to be Pat Lee?

        Yep, it's Patrick Lee, but I can't change it once votes have been cast. Showing my age there.

        I think Finley showed tons of upside late this year. I'm excited about his future.

          I think it'll be Finley. I sure hope it's Sitton, Thompson, or Harrell though. Or all 4.

            James Jones. He is going to be a manimal when healthy.

              I think James Jones is the best bet to be a damn good player. He's shown he can do it when healthy.

              Jordy Nelson and Josh Sitton seem to have very low bust potential and a damn good shot at being really good Packers.

              Jermichael Finley has star potential but bust potential too.

                I absolutely cannot stand Finley because every single ball that has gone to him that he has not caught he immediately does the "throw the flag" motion, insinuating it was pass interference. He will never be a good player if he doesn't learn some personal accountability.

                Hopefully we stop hearing the "young" excuse next year. He's a veteran now.

                    What they really need is for 3 or 4 of them to take a giant step forward. One per year is just treading water.

                      You're right Patler, but the polls don't allow us to make more than one pick. For the sake of argument, my top 4 are Sitton, Finley, Thompson and Nelson.

                        Where's Aaron Rouse? Or Tramon Williams?

                          I'll go with Finley on offense and Hunter on defense.

                            Jordy Nelson is already a starter, for all practical purposes. Like Williams on defense, he plays a huge role on the team.

                              I think Finley is at least another year of maturity away from making a big impact. I think he will contribute next year more than he has this year, but not a huge impact yet.

                              I'm not sure Nelson will ever big a "big impact" sort of guy. A very productive and steady one, yes. But never real flashy. He will be very valuable, but his value will be sort of overlooked by the fans and media.

                              I think Jones will have a big presence next year.
                              I think Sitton and Barbre will start.
                              Giacomini will push for playing time.
                              Thompson will be the designated pass rusher, but will be only so-so at it.
                              Montgomery and Hunter will be replaced by "new recruits" either rookies or FAs.
                              Jackson will be a third down back, just as this year.
                              Wynn will remain a tease.
                              Pat Lee will show definite improvement, but will remain a backup.
                              Justin Harrell will be in his third (and final) season of rehab.

                              The Packer's first round pick will be a stud. A guy who comes in and convinces everyone he is a player from the start. They are due for one of those!
