THE draft thread (2013 version)

[Fritz]

Can TT trade the entire draft for picks next year? Wouldn't have to be all to the same team.

Here's another fun scenario: TT trades back to the end of the first round. Then he trades back into the second. Then back to the end of the second...then back, and back, and back, until his first pick is in the fourth round, he has three picks in the fourth through the seventh, plus extra picks in next year's draft in the second, third, and fourth rounds...

How frustrated would we be? No picks for three rounds!

Quinton Patton Of La Tech. Good size, runs good routes, blocks well downfield. Good but not great speed. Could be a available when the Packers pick n the 2nd round, which is when TT likes to draft his WR's.

My take on sure has changed over that last few days.That move by the Jets to trade Revis and getting a second 1st Rd. pick at #13 has made a diffference. It appears that three prospects have moved solidly into the 1st rd as well.

It might get even wilder if the 49ers package some of the 12 picks (70% of which won't be of the caliber to make any real impact on their roster anyway). The 49ers have such power to make another positive move, as a result of having much wampum in picks. The rich get richer.

I wonder if TT will continue to freeze on a certain need for more at DT with that #55 pick? With TT not loving DT Jon Jenkins at Pick #55. Without trading down from Pick #55 into the top of Rd. 3. He'll not come away with either DT Jon Jenkins or DT Brandon Williams.

If TT ignores need at DT.

Note: TT has a solid chance of going 'Rush DE' at #26. That may steer him away from going bigger on our DL early in this draft.

If TT ignores 'Big' on the DL (DT) after Rd. 1 Pick #26; or his strongest play. Trading down from Rd. 1 pick #26, to a team hungry for the next best QB (after Geno Smith); or even Geno Smith, if the Eagles and Jets pass on him.

He'll have options for our OL at either tackle position at Pick #55. He's got to be concerned there.

His NO.1 priority. Keeping Aaron Rodgers standing after 51 Sacks last season. Nothing else must have higher priority in this draft, given that he ignored that in FA.

Ted Thompson has neglected obvious need and FA on both the OL and DL.

Other less important priorities would be served with TT picking either RB or WR at Pick #55 or again trading down into Rd. 3.

Solid offensive weapons on 'O' that TT should have a choice of at Pick #55 include:

Maybe? WR Quinton Patton, Louisiana Tech or Terrance Williams, Baylor and Ryan Swope, Texas A&M.

Maybe? one or two of >>> RB's Giovani Bernard, N. Carolina; Eddie Lacy, Alabama or Johnathan Franklin,UCLA.

GO TED GO !

Packer fan hair blowing all over North America.

Why not. Sure Patler ... Ted Thompson could maintain.... his newest 'status quo'.

Not doing much more than 'Dick All ' in this off season.

Except spend too much CAP in one case or JF and to keep on a truckin' with scads more for CM.

I have to get this out there Patler and your post begs it.

When wil Aaron Rodgers get off his 'high horse' and settle. Every day that Aaron Rodgers delays signing his '$$$Huge Contract$$$'; tells a growing tale of who he really is. How much will his giant ego shred our CAP?

I hope that TT doesn't budge on much more than $20.2 Million$ per season for 'even' Aaron Rodgers. That tale out there of some ridiculous $25 million$/year contract; better just be media hype.

If TT even offered $21 million$ it would mean that Aaron Rodgers doesn't think that's enough. I believe that Clay Matthews, simply got sick of the waiting and signed for a solid TT offer.

By Aaron Rodgers waiting and waiting >>> more waiting. Simply grows worse or more telling on who he really is.

I'll post something soon that I found very funny. It's a damn good thing that this draft offers little in the form of a real 'Franchise QB'. Aaron Rodgers is just one really solid hit away from too many stars and never the same.

I hope that TT has that fact of concern firmly in mind; in terms of his contract offer to Aaron Rodgers.

GO Ted GO !

ignore this stuff. why does anyone predict the packers to take a qb in round one?

[The Shadow]

I still am hoping that Ted gambles on a unique talent & selects DE Margus Hunt.

If you actually read the explanation of the pick (and the Broncos taking Nassib at #28) you would learn that in this scenario, the Packers have traded down and the team they traded with drafted Geno Smith. That would be amazing, and I would be ecstatic.

There was a joke in there. The author was having a bit of fun. The author clearly states that he beieves that TT will trade down into the second.

ie As a result get another 3rd Rd. pick. with the #26 pick ... not use it on any QB. See the * beside that mock pick at #26.

PACKERS !

Rumors:

Huber at Packer Report hearing Sylvester Williams, my new favorite college player, will not get by the Cowboys.

Bedard has the 49ers trading with Pack, Packers move out of first round. They end up with five picks in first 97. I think this might be Bedard trolling his old workplace.

Jacksonville wishes to bail.

San Fran talking to as high as Buffalo at 8

Rams looking to bail on 22nd pick

49ers looking at Sheldon Richardson, Browns was Eifert

Peter King thinks after all the attempts to trade down, a bunch of teams will try to trade up into late first early second to grab QB at better value

Ian Rapppappport reppports that the Raiders are getting a lot of calls for the #3 pick.

Mind your Ps and Qs mister!

Staying put might be the order of the day. With more teams selling, the cost to move up might be driven down a bit.
