Your Official Packers Draft Wish List

[rbaloha1]

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

Yes, Pickett is aging, Raji could be too expensive and Wilson is a temporary fix.

Plus Worthy is hurt. Jolly helps.

A long de with experience against spread option would help.

i think we're looking at NT not DE, as evidenced by us looking at the steeler NT

the only guy i like in the first round for a NT would be jessie williams

the georgia nt is also a good option.

It seems that the Packers need has as it's NO. 1 priority, a 3-4 DE. Like you that surprized me. I would have said strong wide bodied NT/DT was a bigger priority. That for at least these reasons:

a)The age of Ryan Pickett; b) the contract status and play of BJ Raji c) the exhaustion/wear down factor of these two DL starters.

According to DRAFTTEK...The top priorities are in order:

#1 >>> 3-4 DE
#2 >>> SS
#3 >>> 3-4 OLB
#4 >>> LT
#5 >>> SS ILB
#6 >>> 3 Down RB (RBF)
#7 >>> WRF and WRS

GO PACK GO !

Everyone is talking about the Packers needing DE's with length. However, early in the draft, most of the DL who are 6-4 or taller are too light to play in the 3-4. It's really not until you get into the middle of the draft that you start seeing guys who are 6-4/6-5 and 300+ pounds.

No more tweeners.

I count about 15 ('GRADED' DE and DT) that will be possibly available after Round Three.

PACKERS!

the georgia nt is also a good option.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

you haven't been around enough lately to know how much i don't want that guy

a NT needs to be strong, that guy is weak as shit. he gets manhandled 1 on 1. forget about him being able to hold his ground against a double team

guy has the size, but IMO, he should be nothing more than a mid round prospect

okay -- i trust you.

who else other than williams from bama?

thats where it really sucks. that link that woody gave tells you all you really need to know

hankins from ohio state is the only other guy with a NT body thats being talked about going in the first or second round

there are some mid round guys with the body, but i have no clue about any of those guys to tell the truth

interesting that SI projected Star dropping to the Packers at #26 -- highly doubt it.

IMO if Star drops significantly TT should move up and nab this guy.

I'm starting to think more and more that TT is not going to draft DL in the 1st round. The situation just screams for a trade down. I think TT could trade down 10 spots and still get Jesse Williams or Hankins.

Pat Kirwan (who I believe actually knows what he's talking about) has him going to Carolina at 14. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/f...raft-PatKirwan

TT has never trade up in the 1st round, and I don't see him doing it this year.

Current print issue with Peter King has Star to the packers.

What about Clay Matthews -- didn't the Packers move up?

If Star drops, TT should consider.

What I meant was, TT has never traded his 1st, plus another pick, to get a higher 1st. In 2009, TT traded 2 2nd's and a 3rd to move up in to the 1st round to take Matthews. In 2008 TT traded out of the 1st round, but every other year he has stood pat with his 1st round pick.
