Who Should TT Pick In 1st Round? - Pre-Senior Bowl Edition

[mraynrand]

Would any of you trade up in a really deep draft?

if you could trade up to get Evans (the WR), I would do it. But a lot of mocks have him being taken at 10 by the Lions, so there's probably no way to do that without giving up four picks. If Evans drops to 14 or 15, I'd like to see the Packers move up to get him. But I guess that's unlikely because I think he did well at the combine. Maybe the TE if he's as good as all that. Packer nation will go crazy if TT doesn't take a safety I think...

[mraynrand]

yeah, i'm not trading up, not when we have as many holes as we have that we'll probably have to fill only through the draft, and with the draft being so deep this year

I don't think there's as many holes as you think, but it depends on return from injury and FA results. Who do we lose, who do we pick up. Even with this staff's ability to get rookies to play, I still don't like the idea of having to plug in more than a starter and one or two spot duty guys as rookies, especially in the defensive secondary...

see, no way i would want to trade up for a WR, no matter how good he looks. first round WR's scare the shit out of me, they just have such a high bust rate, and they all look so good in college and at the combine

and still don't think i would want to move up, even if one of my big three guys was there for the taking (haha, pryor and mosley)

i got

1 safety, depth wise we're fine, and burnett can be OK if he has someone playing next to him that can make him look better
at least 1 ILB. we need a starter next to hawk
depending on what happens with neal(i think he's gone because there has been no talks) we need at least 1 OLB for depth
at least 2 D-linemen. even if picket or wilson is resigned, we still lack depth. jolly will probably miss all or most of next season.
we either need a starting center, or if treter is the answer, a backup center/guard
some people think we should draft a backup QB somewhat high. theres even talk linking us with the QB from LSU who's projected as a 2nd rounder
WR, is quickly going to become a position of need depending on what happens with jones and cobb and nelson next year
a starting TE, i'm not as high as some on quarless and bostick
and maybe a new fullback depending on what happens with kuhn

and those are the holes i think are important, not just ST type guys

How dare you criticize TT, you are on the other side of the fence!

to trade up to #11 would probably cost our 3rd round pick, possibly also a 5th or something.

From 21st? More than that I would guess. A 2nd or next year's first would be a better guess at the cost of that.

yup

byt the charts, #11 is worth 1250, #21 is worth 800. our second round pick would be worth about 380. meaning we might also have to throw in the 3rd or the 4th

we would be giving up our draft to move up 10 spots

I was thinking our 1st, second and two late round picks. Getting up to 10 is too costly, if it's only draft picks.

You know what's weird? We usually start foaming at the mouth about now regarding the draft, and we get to a fever-pitch for a whole month before we finally got there in April.

But we're already foaming, yet we've got to wait even longer for the draft. By the time the damn thing actually hits, no one will know anything about which players are highly regarded. By that point, the guy currently projected to go in the top five might drop to the damn second round.

Can we use Brad Jones to trade up ?
wait

Can we use Brad Jones to trade down ?

[Fritz]

Brad Jones is worth a conditional 7th round pick in 2018.

Brad Jones is worth a conditional 7th round pick in 2018.

thats not bad, if we were to lose him in free agency the league would take away a 4th rounder from us instead of giving us a comp pick

[smuggler]

Green Bay values later picks more than many other teams. That might make a trade up 10 spots impossible.

DONE

Whoever took him at that salary are morons
