This would be a good year to sprinkle in higher profile draft choices instead of having them always be UDFA's, ala Josh Walker, Don Barclay, etc. Granted, it might be a bad value to draft a guy in higher rounds of the draft with no clear cut path to starting. Obviously they want the cap number for backups to be of good value. However, in this year when we've lost Raji, possibly for good, Pennel out for the first four games, and have 3 OL's possibly heading to free agency next year, it might be a good time to take a bigger picture look at adding higher quality depth to the roster. Plus, if injuries on the lines stay true to recent history, the rooks will get some opportunity.

TT should get a lot done with nine picks. I wouldn't at all be surprized though if he trades out of Round 1.** Since 2006 3 X Pro Pickem' Champion; 4 X Runner-Up and 3 X 3rd place.

I like Lee a lot as the solution to our ILB problem. We already have 2 pluggers for base (Barrington and Ryan), both of whom need to come off the field in nickel and dime subpackages. Lee is the kind of LB that can stay on the field full time, and drafting a sideline to sideline speed LB will make the move of Matthews back to OLB more tolerable.Originally posted by Bretsky View Post
Other players I can live with in the first round - subject to change before the draft are:
Reggie Ragland, LB, Alabama (souring on him... didn't look good at the combine, and has put on some weight)
Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State (liking him more now than when I first looked at him)
Taylor Decker OT, Ohio State
Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor
Josh Doctson, WR, TCU
Andrew Billings, DT, Baylor
Guys I don't want at #1 are Nkemdiche and Reed.
Some of those guys will be gone by our pick, but if we came away with one of those guys I'd be okay with it. And if we miss out on Lee in the 1st round, Deion Jones out of LSU in the 2nd round works for me. Most mocks have Jones going lower, but I don't think he'll be there at our 3rd pick.wistComment

TRADE UP !
I think he's a baller who can play ILB and OLB as well as stay on the field all four downs and cover.TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

I was listening to Sirius XM's "Moving the Chains" yesterday and in their mock draft, Pat Kirwan had the Packers taking Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, from OK State. He's almost a Ziggy Ansah clone. With the experiment of putting Datone at OLB (the path of Mike Neal), could this guy come in and play the 5 Technique and provide that extra disruptive force that will take the Packers pass rush from good to great? Hmm...http://www.canalstreetchronicles.com...gbah-the-ansah
Everyone's talking ILB, DT, TE (not as much now), but the Packers pass rush is not as consistently productive as it could be. I still think part of that would be taken care of with an Andrew Billings type who can two gap if needed, but can also get up field and penetrate. Stopping the run, winning the down and distance battle is critical to having a pass rush.
That said, Ogbah is an intriguing prospect."Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." -Daniel Patrick MoynihanComment

Darron Lee vs Jack Conklin
Who would you rather see in green and gold? #43 in Red or #74 in White?One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Reggie Ragland - ILB AlabamaBut Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

I know you can't base anything off of one Youtube video, but if I were Darron Lee, I wouldn't want that video out there. Sometimes you are not part of the play; it happens. This package did not really show case him in a special way. There were a couple of good block sheds, but nothing really showed nose for the football or play diagnosis. Sometimes he didn't even look like he was going very hard...doh!
You'll never be sorry getting the big guys early in your draft. It would be awesome to have have someone like Conklin as depth, and then they can decide how he measures up to Bakh who is coming up for renewal. Right away that may seem like a wasted pick to some fans, but it's not just about the impact they can have this year, of course. Both tackles have had injury concerns and had to miss games. Would you rather sub in Jack Conklin or Josh Walker?"Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." -Daniel Patrick MoynihanComment

Is Conklin more highly regarded than Decker? I haven't been paying attention much to the 1st round linemen.Comment

Not that Decker is a bona-fide first rounder...Comment
