Official 2016 NFL draft thread

Yup, its time. We need something to look forward to, other then crashing and burning out of the playoffs

So, by my count, with our first round pick we need to draft a tackle, a TE, and ILB, another feel threat WR, AND probably an OLB

With one pick

So, who are we looking for?

Feel threat? Is that a James Lofton joke?

Hey there! Go easy on my old buddy James.

Deep threat

Also could be a joke in there

[mraynrand]

I wanted to be a quadruple threat...

I think it's going to be OT or WR. Probably no TE's worth taking in 1st round. Reggie Raglind, ILB, Alabama a possibility, but might not be available.

A lot of people have TT taking DT in 1st round with Raji and Guion free agents.

I'm hoping for a Scooby Snack.....

Scooby Wright is rated a 3rd round pick right now.

Former 1st-round cinch with a injury history that now drops him two rounds. It's an obvious TT pick.....

I was out in the desert for the AZ debacle, and they love this guy out there. Can't stop talking about him. One thing to note though is that he's probably a little slow to solve ILB coverage issues. He's 4.74-495, not Urlacher fast (4.57).

The packers have holes all over the place in 2015, except cornerback. So as far as a need pick Thompson can't really go wrong. He can take a defensive lineman, an offensive lineman, linebacker, tight end, receiver.

Packer needs according to Nutz 5.0 scale
1. Inside linebacker 4.75/5.0
2. Tight end 4.5/5.0
3. Offensive line 4.0/5.0
4. Receiver 3.8/5.0
5. Defensive line 3.0/5.0
6. Outside linebacker 3.0/5.0
7. Running back 2.5/5.0
8. Defensive back 2.0/5.0
9. Quarterback 1.0/5.0

According to your priority list, TT will be drafting either a Defensive Back or QB in the 1st round.

[pbmax]

I would put D line at the RB number and move Outside Linebacker up. Peppers is another year older, Perry, Neal and Jones could all be gone for different reasons.

Though drafting an ILB who can really play would increase the OLB population by one Pro Bowl player.

[Deputy Nutz]

The Packers need to move Clay Mathews back to the outside if they want to maximize his value. He does not have the instincts to play the middle or the skill set. If you prioritize ILB then you kill two birds with one stone with moving Clay back to the OLB.

Raji is a free agent in 2016. He has had a good year as NG and will get a decent contract. The Packers probably won't pay a whole lot since they wrapped up a bit of salary in Daniels.

Starks is also a free agent, but he can be had cheaper than Raji, although if TT decides not to bring him back the Packers have zero depth behind Lacy, and Lacy is not the most dedicated player.
