Your Official Packers Draft Wish List

More mongering of rumors:

It's "fishing" season and lots of trade talk going on with draft approaching. That said, GB might be willing to move down, source says.

If they're trying to trade back, I bet they're looking for WR value.

Packer Report @PackerReport 39m
Said this a bunch: You want to be pass-first team with three proven WRs and Finley?

Source might be right or not. Packers probably always make these calls after the drat board nears completion.

But I disagree with Huber about the implication. While I think its likely the Packers draft a WR in the top 3 picks, trading down has nothing to do with getting a WR or being a pass first team. Packers have been a pass first team with less than Nelson, Jones, Cobb and Finley before.

With the way the lineups fall, moving down a little could get you Lacy or Reid at a more palatable value than pick 26.

I'd love to get Reid at say 38 instead, but I bet someone bites before then.

Some boards have him at round 2.

Take him at #26. Physical big hard hitting safety the Packers need urgently.

I'd be okay with TT taking Reid if there are no D-Linemen worth taking at that spot.

Not just Jones -- a lot of pass-rushers in this draft class get away with running around blockers in college. NFL is a different story.

SC_DougFarrar @SC_DougFarrar 1h
As much technique work as Jones needs, how do you ignore best totals in the nation in sacks/TFL/FF vs. elite offensive lines?

TT has to sometime make a move early on the DL with five DLman in the final year of their contract's. He would do well with three strong picks at *3-4 DE ... or DT; ** Safety and Center; followed by a pick at solid pick at WR for value. He might pick a RB for value.

* Scarce in this draft, with a possible 5-6 available as I'm seeing it now from pick positions 20 to 60.

** Maybe a total of three safety's available in the above same range of picks.

The Center I prefer is Barrett Jones, Alabama for his versatility. He's one of the Big Three available between Pick 's 50 to 75.

I hope that TE Tyler Eifert is gone if Ted uses his #26. It seems after an assessment of DL prospects that TT might be best served going with **FS/SS Eric Reid. He may also take a hard look at **pure SS Jonathan Cyprien, Florida International; if he's not off the board.

** I believe these safety's would start and be difference makers.

PACKERS !

I've added Jamie Collins - OLB - S. Miss. to my "Watch" list. If he lasts to the 3rd round, I'll be screaming for TT to take him.

I'd be okay with TT taking Reid if there are no D-Linemen worth taking at that spot.

The reason I kept going back to Reid in round 1 is I think there will be great depth at DL with a couple falling to us at round two while I think the upper level safeties will be gone

What about your boy Ball?

I'm in this camp, as well. I'd say if there are no OL or DL. I like Reid.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I haven't been paying much attention, so I'm sure most of these guys have been talked about. But as I was reading draft bios last night, these are some names that stuck out to me. Not really targets for any round. Just guys that stood out for where they are projected to go. Any info/opinions on these guys would be greatly appreciated. Any reasons I should not like these guys or I should continue to like them are much appreciated.

QB Tyler Bray, Tyler Wilson
RB Montee Ball
WR Josh Boyce, Chris Harper, Quinton Patton
TE Gavin Escobar, Deangelo Peterson
OT Brennan Williams, Chris Faulk
OG Brian Winters, D.J. Fluker
OC Barrett Jones, Travis Frederick, Patrick Lewis
DE Kawaan Short
LB Jamie Collins, Walter Stewart, Chase Thomas
CB Sanders Cummings, Darius Slay
S Eric Reid, J.J. Wilcox, Phillip Thomas

I'm kind of arriving there myself. My preference would be to trade down... short of that, I want defensive help first. I expect TT will take a WR in the first three picks... I like Patton.

Trade down, still come away with Reid?? Throw in Patton and Brandon Williams?? I'd be a happy camper.

TT trading down sounds good, but it sounds like a lot of GM's might have that idea this year.

Right. The best hope is that someone will decide to trade up for Matt Barkley or E.J. Manuel. Otherwise, I think TT will have to make the pick at 26.
