  • Your Official Packers Draft Wish List

    Every year I seem to go through exactly the same process when draft time nears. Step 1 : I excitedly begin researching eligible players & find they all look terrific. Step 2 : Then, when I begin to notice the flaws, I can't find ANYONE I'd like the Pack to draft. Step 3 : Finally, I revisit the scouting reports, look at any tape I can find - and begin to identify players that seem - at least to me - to be intriguing.
    So I thought it might be fun to compile a list of players I'd like the Pack to draft, keeping in mind their round positions - stretching across all rounds. Since their first pick is #26, you will not find the Luke Joeckels & Dee Milliners on the list - just players that the Packers could have reasonable shots at.
    These are mine - and I hope you will share yours.

    -Margus Hunt, DE, SM : I tend to shy away from the 'athletic freaks' that appear like clockwork each year - but this guy intrigues me. And if he didn't have the nagging negatives (age, experience) - he wouldn't be AVAILABLE at # 26! (if he is, indeed, available).
    - A.J. Klein, ILB, Ohio State : just a pure football player.
    - Brian Schwenke, C, Cal - nasty & smart.
    -Brian Winters, G, Kent State : another pure football player.
    -Michael Mauti, OLB, Penn State : instinctive linebacker.
    -D.J. Swearinger, S, SC : An intimidator who can bring a physical presence to the secondary.
    -Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas : a natural leader.
    -Bennie Logan, DT, LSU : Overshadowed by teammates, but a relentless worker.
    -John Simon, DE, Ohio State : Another pure football player.

    Well, there's mine. Yours?

    A.J. Klein is from Iowa State, not Ohio State. Too bad. That would have made great conversation if TT could draft a LB from Ohio State named A.J. who is big on intangibles but maybe not an exceptional athlete.

        Some guys I like:

        Jesse Williams - DT - Alabama. Awesomely strong guy with upside as he's only been playing football a few years. Would be a great eventual replacement for Pickett.

        Montee Ball - RB - Wisconsin. Not real fast, but quick enough, and just a damn good all-around RB.

        Shawn Williams - SS - Georgia. Stout, tough safety

        Vance McDonald - TE - Rice. Big enough to line up as an in-line TE, but can also split out wide.

          I haven't even started my draft research yet, but I have a couple guys I remember from the Senior Bowl / Combine. Don't know where they'll go yet, but I think they are "Packer People."

          Shamarko Thomas - SS - Syracuse

          Quinton Patten - WR - LA Tech ( To replace Jennings)

          Ziggy Ansah - DE - BYU He's projected as a DE, but I think he could play OLB in a 3-4. He's raw, but his potential is through the roof.

          One Wish - a protypical, 5-technique DE (You know, 6' 5", 290 - 300 lbs)

            I think if Margus Hunt has the right kind of nonstop motor to go with those physical skills he's worth a shot. Could have an unlimited cieling.

            A J Klein seems like a blue collar high effort player that can have some real value.

            I think we need to draft a safety, but I have mixed emotions as to which one in particular.

              DE Ezekiel Ansah ranked as the #3 DE now. He'll likely go Top Ten and on the outside Top 15.



              Shamarko Thomas - SS - Syracuse is the #3 Ranked SS. Projected Rd. 2-3.



              WR Quinton Patten - Louisiana Tech is the #6 Ranked WR. Projected Rd. 2.

                  I love the Wisconsin boy AJ Klein, but we won't take him. He fits a 3-4 ILB position, and we have Hawk, Bishop, Jones making WAY too much, Smith, and the other dude Fracious or whatever. We will not draft ILB.

                  I also like Mike Taylor at the OLB, and could get him 6/7 rounds, maybe UDFA.

                      Marcus Lattimore - RB -South Carolina - He's going to be a steal in the 2nd or 3rd round, but I think someone will take him early second.
                      Laveon Bell - RB - Michigan State - This is the kid that everyone is looking past, but could have an immediate impact on a team looking for a 3 down back. I hated playing MSU because of him.
                      Justin Hunter - WR - Tennessee - The second best WR on the team, but the best potential pro, and I think the best WR prospect in this draft. He's got the size, the hands, the speed, and is floating lower on the radar, because he's just two years removed from a seroius injury.
                      Travis Frederick - C - Wisconsin - A Wisconsin lineman. That's all you really need to say.
                      We're gonna draft that ESPN featured kid from Chadron State at Guard, Just so you know. Garrett Gilkey.
                      Bacarri Rambo - S - Georgia - I don't care if the kid can play. He's Rambo.
                      Jamie Collins - OLB - Southern Miss - We need athletes at the OLB position. If you have the athletic ability to cover a TE, you can be taught to rush the passer.
                      Michael Buchanan - OLB - Southern Miss - Another athletic OLB.
                      William Gholston - OLB - Michigan State

                      Much like the NCAA Men's Basketball Tourny this year, it doesn't look like there are many outstanding, can't miss, stud players outside of the top 10, but there are ALOT of solid players in the middle to late rounds of this draft. I think we'll see some late-round steals show up this year and next.

                        I don't think Ansah will be there at 26.

                            I dunno. I think Jones money signals they don't know what they have back there. I could see an ILB pick easy. Young and cheap, just like Ted likes them.
                            Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                              There have been so many parallels between Red's dating life and Ted's GMing today.
