What Is The Packers Biggest Need Heading Into This Coming Draft?

[BZnDallas]

I believe this draft will be heavy on offensive depth. OT, OG, WR,TE and RB. However I believe that will come after TT addresses his D. I agree with Carolina that TT will try and go DT first with hopefully Billings or Butler and add the speedy Jones from LSU at ILB in the 2nd. Barrington and Ryan are the thumpers and Jones will help be the speed this D has lacked in the middle forever. Then draft a couple OL guys, a speedy RB, TE...

BZ: Deion Jones? Anyone think he will last until late second round? I think they would have to move to get him. That kind of speed doesn't last - if his pro day number is to be believed.

Ugh. there I went and did it. Now I bet Pittsburgh drafts him...

Yeah thats who i was talking about. I think you're right but hope you're wrong. He's been shooting upboards bc of his speed, but I've read he could need some seasoning. Was hoping the seasoning needed would have him drop to us in round 2. And I totally agree with you that the Steelers have been selecting off my big board recently as well. Argh!

I hope you know this will go down on your permanent record.

Give Clay some of what Ryan Braun is using - it apparently doesn't show up in piss tests. Seriously, like pbmax said, he ain't quite what he used to be. I liked him a lot better at ILB. That's why everything else being equal, I would go with a athletic OLB, not really to replace him immediately, but to rotate in and eventually be the stud OLB. Since Clay almost certainly ain't going back to ILB, the idea of Ragland is interesting too. I HOPE the pick is not a D Lineman, especially a bloated Raji-type. I think the O Line upgrade(s) are gonna come between the 2nd and 4th rounds.

Right. Either of the LB positions is a possibility, provided Ted rates them high enough.

TT makes hay in the fourth and he can find a guard there for sure, not sure he finds a solid tackle that late though....

He's lost a step or two by now.

People might say the Pack is set at WR, but the time to pick that dynamic WR is often a year or so before you need 'em, like they did with Jordy.

the two coming off surgery aren't running or cutting yet (most players coming off acl aren't really 100% until the next year). cobb is a 2.5, adams is a 2.5, and the bench warmers can't get on the field unless everyone ahead of them is hurt. imo they're a LONG way from being set at wr.

Front 7 and OL all day long. I expect at least 6 picks at these positions.

Do it all the time.
