I thought hard about Mays, but I think a really good corner with return abilities is a big need for the Packers. Look for OL help later.[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.

I expect a run deep into the playoffs, maybe even the Super Bowl, and last years offensive line woes showed us all that we need to protect ARod or the Packers aren't going anywhere. TT recently drafted Pat Lee and Underwood, and Tramon Williams showed he can start, I think they can draft a CB later. Left tackles are as rare as diamonds, and to me Davis fell into our lap, and is the best player available. The reason he didn't work out at the pro day, (he showed up), is that he was sick and even puked while he was there. I think he'll be a stud LT protecting ARod's blindside for years to come.Thanks Ted!

Its no doubt Davis has the talent but the question is if his heart in the game and you don't have that question with Wilson. I want football players, not another Andre Smith.Originally posted by packrulzI expect a run deep into the playoffs, maybe even the Super Bowl, and last years offensive line woes showed us all that we need to protect ARod or the Packers aren't going anywhere.

I didn't say he was the Best... just a guy I think would really shine with the Packers.Originally posted by Brandon494Best is not the best pick at #23
RB is the easiest position to draft, don't need to be wasting a 1st rounder on a RB who can't break tackles, pass block, and has whos injury prone. Don't fall in love with the 40 time.
I fell in love with his youtube highlights long before I knew his 40 time... not that either one is any good

I voted Wilson. Hughes would have been my other choice, but is a bit of a project at OLB.
Davis is a slug. We like hard workers here. Charles Brown, I just don't want anymore barely 300 lineman.
I don't like Kindle, Best or Mays. Actually, I can't stand Best or Mays. Best, like Brandon said, doesn't run through contact.
I like Pouncey a lot. Good athlete. As reliable as they come. I just think you can do a little better with the 23rd pick this year. Wilson is it, the way this thing fell.
I like Wilson. He's tough. The write up is that he's a consistent cover guy. Watching the highlights, a couple things stood out to me. 1. He seems pretty aware out there. On one blitz, he did a great job disguising. Like Woodson when he blitzes, Wilson didn't give it away at all. It's just a small thing, but some guys just have the awareness to do the little things. I got that impression from Wilson. He was a punt gunner on one, and the ball came up on him pretty quick. Again, a really little thing, but he quickly got both feet out of the endzone, in play, and touched the ball down. It's little, but as I watch football, it seems the great ones do these little, awareness things that just subtly change the game. I saw a little of that awareness in Wilson. I don't think the game is too fast for him. He seems to get it and be a step ahead. As far as coverage, just looking at the highlights, I like that he's not afraid to go attack the ball. He's confident enough to defend the ball rather than letting the guy catch it and then tackle. He defends the pass, or gets the pick. Seems like the bad corners I've seen are tentative. They wait back and let receiver catch it, then tackle. Sure, they don't give up the big play, but they never, ever make a play. They give up pass after pass after pass. Wilson isn't that guy. He's confident, prepared and attacks routes without giving up many big plays doing it. Great athlete too.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.

Don't be surprised if the actual draft isn't too far from the way we picked. A lot of the guys you really like, are probably really liked by other teams as well.Originally posted by Bossman641I really hope the draft doesn't go this way. All the guys I really wanted are off the board. Wilson is the pick if things fall this way.
Personally, I wouldn't be unhappy with Davis, Hughes, Wilson, or Brown. Anybody else on this list though, no please no absolutely not.</delurk>

Wilson. Aside from whatever immediate help he will give the Pack, I think he's the best bet to be a standout 2-3 years down the road. There will be good talent available at Safety and OT in rounds 2-3.I can't run no more

If the draft fell this way and I was TT I'd be looking for anybody who was willing to trade up six to ten picks and grab an extra third.
All similar calibur guys
I'd be fine with Wilson, Best, Hughes, and Kindle here with my vote going to WilsonTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

Two points of order:
1) How long are we going to let this run? Should we close it some time on Monday so the "only log into Packerrats at work" folks can get their input?
2) Are we doing a runoff? I voted for Hughes, but it's looking like a two horse race between Davis and Wilson. If it ends up being between two (or three) guys with a high number of votes, we should probably let the people who voted for the guys who only got a handful of votes have some input there too.</delurk>
