PACKERS ANGLE

Look for the Packers to spend a mid-round selection on a RB.

Hey Harv....you think the Packers could go for Drake?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Hey Harv....you think the Packers could go for Drake?

Personally, I don't think they'll go with a change of pace back. It's never been TT and MM's thing. They'll look for a possible three down replacement for Lacy and Starks. I think Dixon and Washington could be more than just third down RBs, but I think Ervin and Drake project as third down RBs (potentially dynamic ones though).

[Guiness]

Can't believe Myles Jack is still sitting there, quite the slide! Right out of the first round.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Can't believe Myles Jack is still sitting there, quite the slide! Right out of the first round.

No way a team was going to use a first round pick on a player that won't play this year and has a knee. Plus, he's likely going to need another surgery.

[Patler]

No way a team was going to use a first round pick on a player that won't play this year and has a knee. Plus, he's likely going to need another surgery.

I thought it is expected he will play this year. The question with him is how soon he might need the next surgery, but it won't be now.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I thought it is expected he will play this year. The question with him is how soon he might need the next surgery, but it won't be now.

I think some teams think he should get the surgery done sooner rather than later. I thought I heard that last night.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Maybe I got him confused with Jaylon Smith.

Maybe I got him confused with Jaylon Smith.

I was guilty of that.
