I would be happy Woody............however............I'm sticking to my logic
Bretsky likes Monte Ball
So TT will not draft him
TERD 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
I think Ted might take Monte Ball with our 2nd pick. But he won't last until our 2nd pick. And no way he goes in the first round.
[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'd be game Fritz.......but I'd shit in my pants if TT did that

We're looking at RB Miguel Maysonet out of Stoney Brook as a fan favourite in another thread. Interesting enough Miguel Maysonet is the #19 ranked RB by NFLDRAFTSCOUT.COM.
Knile 'the Knife' Davis is ranked #20.
Concentrating on Miguel Maysonet:
This RB has quick feet and moves fast laterally. He's a solid athlete and former lacrosse player in high school. Miguel has quick feet, elusive with jumping skills. He has good hands catching and holding onto the ball; the ability to get his team out of 'deep shit' field positions. He loves to engage or run into the pile alot. He shows strength for a shorter RB, fighting for every foot. He's really quick moving straight ahead with daylight before him. If he finds an opening he's gone. Back to his strength and looking at him in video. He disappears in a pile and instead of getting swolled moves forward with such quickness. Will he be able to meet the challenge and strengths of the NFL? He's projected as a 7 Rd. pick. We've seen first round picks of late give that consideration next to zero as a return.
If Ted Thompson decides to pick this young man what will he get?
5'-9" and 209 lbs of Miguel 'Le petit taureau' Maysonet. A seemingly intelligent young man who loves to play football.

Ted Thompson has to ensure better protection for Aaron Rodgers. The proof of that is his 51 SACKs last season. There are question marks on our OL. Yet Ted Thompson can protect Aaron Rodgers with a solid RB that can block. I'm working on my seven round draft right now and it's not easy. We have need all over.
Priority needs in order on offense:
1. OL - Tackle and Center. Does this certain need take priority over a skilled offensive weapon?
2. RB - After a surprize from DuJuan Harris what's there? Really?
3. WR - With all the $dough$ that 'the Big Three' will be awarded. Without a leap in the salary CAP. How can we expect to keep both James Jones and Jordy Nelson? I've a concern over Jordy Nelson and that hamstring of his as well. The loss of Greg Jennings and DD may not concern the most of you; but they're loss's and certainly significant in terms of WR depth and guideance/leadership.
4. TE - Someone needs to step up this season. We need a TE that can block and put points up on the board. Ted Thompson needs to bring in UFA'a. Maybe 'magically' JerMichael Finley will put it together by talking more to James Jones (about talking to himself) and Aaron Rodgers. Frankly he's not worth his feed.
Defense:
After a huge leap in improvement to what 11th in the NFL from the pits in 2011. We are aware of certain need in terms of:
1. DL support help for an aging Ryan Pickett and BJ Raji. Find a big strong DT >> NT that can fit well in our 3-4 scheme; allow us to get a look at BJ Raji playing more DE. That move may make his value more evident and him happier. That has to be figured out this season as he'll be eligible for FA next.
2. Safety A strong athletic safety that owns the middle. M.D. Jennings and Jerron McMillian need one-two more seasons to realistically develop.
3. ILB with real athleticism.
4.CB You cannot have enough.
So back to the top and OL or RB?
I say it's obvious and RB. Ted Thompson would be wise to get us a great RB to help protect Aaron Rodgers. Take some pressure off our passing game and make us a double threat on offense. I see options at this position and this draft. You can spend 10's of hours simply studying those options and the RB position.
Some posters here love RB Montee Ball. Looking at his achievements and video of him, what's to dislike? He's not going to last to the 2nd Rd. pick #55. Read below and you'll see that Ted Thompson has been in direct contact with him at his Pro Day that went better that his Combine in terms of results.
If Ted Thompson did pick Montee Ball at #26 would you hate it?

If Brandon Jackson was considered a 2nd rounder (pick 63) back in 2007, wouldn't Packer nation be willing to take someone like Ball at the same slot? Thing is, I don't know what kind of back TT is looking for, if any.

I wouldn't mind waiting till the second round to take lattimore. The kid has top 10 talent, but a nasty injury streak. I heard someone say that whoever takes him is either going to look like a genius or a moron depending on how he heals out.
- Once again, adding absolutely nothing to the conversation.
The Packers don't need a back who is a threat to take it to the house on any play. The Packers need a back who can get 3-10 yards consistently enough that opponents can't play 2 deep safeties on every play. I think Ball can do that. The huge number of touches he had last year doesn't concern me because he won't be asked to do that with the Packers.
Honestly I think the Packers need both. A running back that is a threat to break a long run changes defensive line priorities and can make their presence felt with 15-20 carries per game which I think is petty ideal. I don't know that any running back in existence is threatening enough to a defense to devote secondary personnel to run support against Aaron Rodgers and these receivers.
I do agree though that at the Packers at the very least need a running back capable of moving the chains against a favorable front because they'll see plenty of them.
