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

[red]

So you'd take Pryor over Ha-Ha? I haven't seen either so I have no opinion. Nix would be ok, there will be a need on the DL, but I agree they can probably find someone in later rounds.
.

you know, i'm not sure. the more i read and watch on pryor the more i like

i think i would be fine with either, but a lot of mocks have ha ha going before our pick. of course by draft time pryor could be looking like a top 10 pick

who knows

ranking and our opinions are gonna change about 30 more times by the time the draft comes around

then if your like rand, in 8 or 9 years from now, you can jump on the hall of famer that the packers passed on and talk about how you really wanted the team to pick him way back when

just like i think the packers should have drafter barry sanders

[red]

Red, you've got some classic rips (like "Stubby's coaching shrub"), but it's not a good criticism you make here when the guy TT drafted instead of the one you wanted turns out to be the Packers' best wide receiver...and one of the best in the league.

i was just trying to say that TT isn't above throwing us a complete curve ball when draft time gets here

glab you picked up on the coaching shrub. i was pretty proud of that and i thought it went unnoticed

Why are offensive players even on this poll?

GREAT.....RED and I are the only two for Prior
sorry Red

We're screwed; we might as well become fans of somebody else

that pretty much means we're going offense then

wr, rb, or qb?

[bobblehead]

TT finally trades up....and takes Jonny "football" Manziel.. He is not going to be criticized for not having an adequate backup again!!

Yea it figures...my early favourite is this guy:

" ESPN's Mel Kiper projects the Green Bay Packers to select junior safety Calvin Pryor from Louisville. " Fr. LINK Immediately below.

If FS (could play SS) Calvin Pryor is there for TT? He's a solid fit for the Packers needs.

If TT has a shot at him and trades down and we just miss him. mmmm pffeeuuhh!

The trouble with this guy. He may out class everyone else in our secondary.

Hahaha... that's funny.

TT would, if that happened, simply head back to his suite and get ready to fly back to Green Bay because his draft would be nearly over. He might pick up an OG and a WR a so so TE and a hack LBer with his remaining picks; but that brain fart would cost a lot.

I'm picturing that happening:

TT might just say to his second... " Ahh shit ! Did I really do that? It's just that Manziel reminds me so damn much of Fran Tarkenton. I'll be damned if Minny reincarnates that bite in the arse. Ohh well...I'm outta here so handle it and for Lands Sakes Jethro... pick a ST's Coaching Prospect that'll excite Mike "


What would that cost say to move one slot ahead of Minny?

bobblehead we have to somehow determine which Trade Value Chart will be "the official 2014 TVC For Packerrats.

The reason I don't want Pryor in the first is because I want him in the second.

Me too. Like lacy last year.

[woodbuck27]

The reason I don't want Pryor in the first is because I want him in the second.

Ohh Yea and I want C.J. Mosley, ILB, ALABAMA in Round 1. Unless Ted Thompson moves up he'll be gone.

Yet to follow through and "magical thinking ... downgraded". I want to see added to the head of the newest Draft Class the name of a young man that will cover a Special Need for us and his name is FS/SS Calvin Pryor.

To play along with you...if I see just one of those "Football Players" names up on Packers.Com as the Round 1 Ted Thompson and Team Draft Pick.

I'll be elated and I'm a happy Green Bay Packer fan.

The watch I see intriguing is in terms of the Packer UFA's:

I'm concerned about four DLman being of that status NT/DT Ryan Pickett (age 34);

DT Johnny Jolly (serious upper spinal column injury/conditioning);

BJ Raji (attitude/conditioning/competence as a 3 tech Vs NT/He's flat out wanting to leave Green Bay Fed Up <<< ALL OF THE ABOVE and ...

DE CJ Wilson (good run support so sign him ASAP.

TT may have to appear as if he's paddy screwing around and this DL situation. It's just this in terms of how TT looks at the trio of Pickett, Jolly and Raji. One thing has to happen first and one thing leads to another. It's looking rather like a good chess match now in Green Bay and with this focus on 20 free Agents all told.

In that case (maybe?) DT's Louis Nix III, Notre Dame or RaShede Hageman, Minnesota come into play as pemium prospects for an NFL DL.

Then look at CB Sam Shields. He looks very close to saying bye bye to Green Bay. If Ted Thompson decides that his Salary CAP interests exceed Sam Shield needs, then TT is maybe? looking for a solid CB in the draft:

CB Darqueze Dennard, Michigan State will be long gone at TT's NO. 21 slot.

Maybe it'll be BPA or either of CB's Justin Gilbert, Oklahoma State; Marcus Roberson, Florida maybe? Jason Verrett, TCU.

It'll be according to what we're informed of...BPA. If it's BPA Defense we won't be disappointed will we because you could throw a dart at a board blind folded and with all positions on defense available as a potential hit and simply go there.

TT might simply decide if it's looking bad to take two three seasons to re-build a sucking defense by blowing it up. Really what are "YOU" seeing that is encouraging for nextseason?

GO PACK GO !

you never know

i new mock on yahoo has pryor going #13, and ha ha going #19

however they also have mosley dropping right into our laps at #21

the way pryor has shot up boards since he declared that he was coming out early makes me think there is no way he lasts to the second round anymore

[smuggler]

Yeah. When you consider that the NFL is really safety starved... he might go in the 30ish range, but no later.

[pbmax]

GREAT.....RED and I are the only two for Prior
sorry Red

What is the outcome for the player when you two geniuses agree?

Is it better than your individual records or does the jinx double?

[woodbuck27]

Cont'd From Post # 26:

Can you count the players on one hand NOT named Sam Shields, BJ Raji, Ryan Pickett, Johnny Jolly, Mike Neal and CJ Wilson? Because every one of them could be gone.

Look at WR James Jones. Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb are UFA's in 2015. CB Tramon Williams has that same status in 2015.

Look at TE Andrew Quarless?

TT has to try to make something really positive happen in a bad situation or. For example... maybe and seriously relegate himself to acquiring help in Free Agency (ahh !?! ) and / or in this draft. This isn't like any recent Off Season for Ted Thompson and his Scouting/Draft Team and Mike McCarthy and Company.

The NFL Draft begins Thurs. 8 May - ends Sat. 10 May, 2014. What's that ...90 days.

In the next ten weeks+. We'll see many changes and Mock Drafts enter several revisions; draft boards shift " like the sands of time on some exotic isle " .

That dynamic resembles what's going on in various NFL Organizations.

Here at Packerrats we keep up with most of that as we expose most of it and afford the time in any challenge to digest and understand and learn from it all. Thus a part of the overall beauty of submerging ourselves into football, on a deeper level as many do here at our Green Bay Packer HOME.

An interesting situation is developing in Packer Nation.

We see a dynamic in terms of how one change impacts something else and " the Mike McCarthy Coaching Tree" setting down new seed:

** QB's Coach Ben McAdoo promotes himself and moves to the OC position with the New York GIANTS.

** OLB Coach Kevin Greene resigns his position in Mike McCarthy's latest coaching tree for personal reasons he's informed us has to do with enhancing his personal contact with his family. End of that !

After that "surprize", and just look at that. Yesterday's reaction of some shock for some members and that certainly included this member. Simmers down a mere day later to a " simple surprize ". Thus an example of the flexibility of a seasoning Green Bay Packer and NFL Football fan.

It's a lot like HC Mike McCarthy advised us... RE: the constantly changing "culture" of the TEAM and/or dynamic in the TEAMS Locker Room. Something else MM informed us of in regards to the emotionally charged impact roster players and inside Packer people feel.

Thus Packerrats (Packer fans all over) feel.

Feel with a sudden loss or unexpected change. I know how I felt when in the same off season. Brett Favre's and Jon Ryan's lives changed as they were both dismissed as Green Bay Packers. All that challenged this Packer fan.

It's a funny thing. I wrote above using certain words to describe Coach Kevin Greene; and I'm still typing this with a heaviness in my chest. Ahh screw it, "life and shit happens".

It really gets down to business and fixing things. MM may elect to add to the load of his personal assistant, Winston "Jack Of ALL" Moss? I wonder what Moss's job description looks like in terms of that little "Assistant to patch"? The added responsibility of anything " labeled as a Linebacker ".

Winston Moss can handle that.

GO PACKERS....GO PACK GO !
