2016 Draft

[Deputy Nutz]

WR: So the Packers on paper have all 6 wide outs returning, but for having depth the Packers have a lot of question marks in their receiving corps. For one does Jordy Nelson come back healthy and ready to play? Can Adams turn it around? Is Janis ready to contribute week in and week out? Can Abbey stay healthy?

How many trades does TT make in this draft? That's my question.

Does he think the team is deep enough to trade up or does he trade down at some point to pick up another pick or two or three?

There was a point (last two years?) that is seemed counterproductive. But he has quite a free agent list coming up. Wouldn't be too surprising if he ends up with more than 9.

But with a lot of talent in this draft through Round 2, this is the year to trade up cheaply, because everyone will want to go back.

[Bretsky]

I could also argue that the Packers should take Hunter Henry since he is the only elite level tight end. Or that they should take Darron Lee if he is available because the OLB tiers are shallow.

JOIN THE FAN CLUB NUTZ !!! I have been pimping Hunter Henry for a while and I last predicted Darren Lee would be their pick. Very High on Lee as well !!

[Bretsky]

I might laugh when TT takes a WR in round one

Are these your tiers?

More on Jack's knee. Meniscus is repaired and team's are OK with it. But he has a separation building cartilage and bone in his knee that will also need to be addressed later. So, as one put it in the article, the question is does he play for 4 years/1 contract or 10 years and 2?

Jack's knee is fine, don't believe those anonymous liars talking to RapSheet!

Anonymous reports questioning Jack’s recovery from a 2015 knee injury were recently derided by NFL execs as a pre-draft smokescreen to lower his value. The ploy didn’t work: draft experts are confident he’ll be gone before the seventh pick arrives.

This round up of mock drafts has Billings going to the Packers at 27.

Are these your tiers?

In theory yes,

but I got the list unedited on CBS. I am not doing anything to inform. I am just showing position depth.

Finally it's the eve of the DRAFT.

I'm thinking that TT will draft for the DL....or go For a LT if he see's his man.

A big part of me wants to see TT pick the very best playmaker available to the offense or go with something to support Aaron Rodgers.

Green Bay Packers draft rumors: Who will Packers take with No. 27 pick in 2016 NFL draft?

"The Packers will almost certainly select a defensive lineman or linebacker in the first round. SI's Peter King and ESPN's Mel Kiper each have Green Bay taking Alabama linebacker Reggie Ragland at No. 27.

CBS Sports' analysts are split among several defensive linemen: Baylor's Andrew Billings, Alabama's Jarran Reed and Louisville's Sheldon Rankins

Since this draft is weak on TE and WR, going for offensive playmakers isn't the best bet, unless you consider a LT a playmaker. Go defense and get the ball back in Rodgers' hands quicker.

I would not be mad at all if we took Jaylon in R2. That would be fantastic.

The only skill position player that really excites me in this draft is Braxton Miller. He is just so quick. Otherwise, build the trenches!

[call_me_ishmael]

If you could get Billings in R1, and then the MLB Wisty-poo keeps talking about in R2, and then trade back up into R2 to get Jaylon Smith... holy guacamole that is an A+ draft for the Packer IMO!

[Deputy Nutz]

I also want to know how Ragland makes it to the Packers? I just don't see it happening with him being rated as one of the top 10 defensive prospects in this draft. If he is there I would think this a no brainer for the Packers but what do I know?

A lot of the do your own mock sites have him going in the 20s. I think ThunderDan has done half a dozen where he gets Ragland almost everytime.

Lot of the current mocks from writers have him going in the teens.
