Oh dear, we do not need another player with a chronic hamstring issue.

You've got to wrap that hammy in something more substantial than Kleenex.Originally posted by pbmax View Post[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.Comment

No need to take Lacy when there are decent backs to be had in the draft in rounds 2-6. The Packer O-line is pretty shoddy in run-blocking to begin with.Comment

In other words, the Packers' O can make even a good back look bad???Originally posted by smuggler View PostComment

I have wondered sometimes how well Adrian Peterson would do behind the Packers' oline."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

You mean the guy that manages the car wash at the corner of Oneida and Hansen? We thought he might have been a good one back when we traded up to draft him in an alternate reality back in 2007, but he never made it past the line of scrimmage. One of these days we'll draft a really good running back.Originally posted by Fritz View Post[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.Comment

I've heard Larry McCarren say it's the RB that makes the difference, not the OL.
If we have a very good back, we'll have a very good running game, IMO. And my guy is Montee Ball.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Here are Lance Zierlein's Top 10 as a preview:
1. Luke Joeckel, LT, Texas A&M - Not too many weaknesses to target in his game. Excels with his technique and balance and was a 3 year starter. Joeckel is the safest player in this draft.
2. Dion Jordan, DE/OLB, Oregon - Great length, quickness and growth potential. Jordan isn’t currently the 2nd best player in the draft, but I think he projects to be that good in the future. Can play OLB or DE.
3. Eric Fisher, LT, Central Michigan - Fisher has good feet and is solid in both the run game and pass protection. He needs to get his hands on defender more quickly in pass protection.
4. Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama - Warmack boasts a terrific punch in pass protection and plays to his size while having surprising quickness. I see a good, not great run blocker. Won’t be drafted this highly due to position.
5. Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama - He has good size and length. Milliner shows a good football IQ and, like most Tide CBs, is physical in run support. Milliner looks like a fairly average athlete so I’m interested to see how he tests.
6. Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State - There were times that liked Werner more in 2011 than 2012. Good initial get-off and flashes some power. Moves well in space and I think 3-4 WOLB is probably his best fit.
7. Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida - He can really stack and shed and plays with a good low pad level and aggressive hands. Disruptive in the gaps but can hold up against power. After first burst, not a dynamic interior pass rusher.
8. Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee - Has size and speed that teams covet with 1st round WRs. Unpolished as a route-runner but has big play ability down the field and after the catch.
9. Star Lotuleilei, DT, Utah - Lotuleilei flashes great power and quickness off of the snap, but his playmaking radius is smaller than you like. He can fit into both 3-4 or 4-3 fronts as a NT with power and ability to disrupt.
10. Lane Johnson, LT, Oklahoma - Possesses elite foot quickness and length and is still growing into the position both literally and figuratively. Needs to get stronger and there are legitimate concerns about not bringing his feet with him in run blocking.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Nice stuff Max....thanks for the link to the website as well...never heard of it.Originally posted by pbmax View Post
Jordan is a heck of a player...I've watched my share of Duck games and he is a big reason they were good at all (as a D).C.H.U.D.Comment

On Thursday, the NFL announced the full draft order – with the annual compensatory selections yet to be announced – and the Packers are set to pick at No. 26 overall in the first round, at No. 55 overall in the second round and at No. 88 overall in the third round. Their fourth-, fifth-, sixth- and seventh-round picks will be set after those compensatory selections are announced at the NFL Meetings in Arizona next month. The Packers figure to get a mid-round pick after losing backup quarterback Matt Flynn and Pro Bowl center Scott Wells while signing Saturday.Thanks Ted!Comment

My prediction: a compensatory seventh rounder for Flynn. Saturday-for-Wells a wash, nothing from that.Originally posted by packrulz View Post"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

4th round comp pick. The lesser of the Flynn/Wells comps will get wiped out by signing Saturday.Comment

In the best of situations, the Packers barely get anything. So why would they get a fourth rounder for either a center who played about two games before he was lost for the year or for a back up QB who (I think) did not play?Originally posted by smuggler View Post"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Does anyone (and by this I mean Patler probably) remember the website of the guy who had reverse engineered the NFL compensatory pick process?
I think he was absent last year but I wonder if he is up and running again?Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment
