Your Official Packers Draft Wish List

[woodbuck27]

Like it or not, we are now in the position of both finding ways to counter the read option and getting just better generally on defense. Our offense is our strength; our weakness is our defense. It would be nice to add another offensive lineman - but it is imperative that we address the defense.

For sure your correct Shadow.

PACKERS !

As a guy who has sported facial hair for a good portion of my post competitive athletics life, I can't understand how some of these guys can stand to play with the big bushy beards. The more closely cropped ones I can understand, but not the long, full ones. Yet, a lot of athletes have them at times.

As a Pistons fan back in the day, I was loathe to see them trade Bob Lanier to the Bucks. Back then, you needed a big-time big man in the middle to compete, and they were few and far between. I never did understand trading him.

Byron Jerideau - NT - South Carolina - visits Packers. Not expected to be drafted, but somebody you might see Tt bring in as an UDFA. Listed at 6-0-5/8" and 334 pounds.

Size-wise reminds me of one of Wolf's 3rd round picks. Some short guy named Steve, who looked like a fire plug but played like a butt plug.

OK, draftniks. Can Datone Jones play DE in a 3-4? Gil Brandt says no, but most of the other write-ups say yes. He switched between DT and DE at UCLA and would seem to be big enough. Does he have the game to do it?

He could do it but he'll be higher on the board of the Wade Phillips type 3-4's and 4-3 teams than ours I would think.

Well, we certainly need a fire hydrant in the middle of our line. I'd imagine he gets winded easy, but you're only looking to rotate him anyway.

I liked what I saw of him.

He's a cross between Jerel Worthy and CJ Wilson - we already have this guy on our roster. I don't want to spend a 1st round pick on this guy.

[smuggler]

Heh, no way would we take that guy in the first round. WHO the fuck is JUSTIN HARRELL???

OK this looks like a good spot to drop this information:

pb:

I've got DE Datone Jones down as a 3-4 DE based on stuff I've studied but yes....Gil Brandt reports that Datone Jones has to play DE in a 4-3 'D'.

I had him more likely than not more gone to be gone from the board before we pick at #26.

Yesterday there was a news development that might influence a change in my previous assessment:

http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=90466&draftyear=2013&genpos=DE

Cornellius 'Tank' Carridine , Florida State Seminoles, 6'4 and 276 pounds, looks in full recovery from his knee injury (ACL) Nov. 24, 2012.

'Tank' Carradine is just 135 days removed from having surgery to repair the torn ACL that cut his season short by two (2) games. Inspite of that he had 11 SACK's and was second on the team in tackles with 80 including an impressive 13 tackles for loss.

He's already had a Pro Day on April 8,2013 where he lifted 32 Rep's. An improvement from his 28 Rep's at the Combine.

On Sat. April 20,2013 (yesterday) he was able to run and did so extremely well. He ran a 4.75 Sec. 40 yard dash.

NFL Draft 2013: Cornellius Carradine runs a 4.75 40-yard dash

By Scott Coleman .... Apr 20 2013, 3:05 PM

" Most mock drafts have Carradine going somewhere during the later portions in the first round.

*** SB Nation's latest mock draft has him going No. 19 overall to the New York Giants. Now that it's pretty clear that his knee will be completely healthy once he returns to the field in September, Carradine could see his stock rise in the coming days. " Fr. LINK above

*** That might push DE Datone Jones closer to our Pick at #26.

GO TED GO !

so, do we really need a DE? according to bleacher report, we already have 4 of the top 36 3-4 DE's in the NFL

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1444335-br-nfl-1000-2013-top-35-3-4-defensive-ends

also, IMO 280 IS too small for a 3-4 DE, those guys gotta be around 300 minimum
