Round 2

[George Cumby]

A WR we have never heard of.

[wist43]

My draft board for the Packers would look like this right now:

Dodd, Kevin DE 6'5" 277 Clemson
Shepard, Sterling WR 5'10" 194 Oklahoma
Correa, Kamalei DE 6'3" 243 Boise St.
Fackrell, Kyler OLB 6'5" 245 Utah St.
Spriggs, Jason OT 6'6" 301 Indiana
Nassib, Carl DE 6'7" 277 Penn St.
Spence, Noah DE 6'2" 251 Eastern Kentucky

I like Dodd best on that list, but he'll be gone. Correa would be okay in the 2nd, but he'll likely be gone too...

Don't want anything to do with Nassib, Spence, or Fackrell. Spence can play, but has a 10 cent head.

Spriggs is the kind of soft OL the Packers like - but I think he'll be gone too.

Don't want Shepard b/c I think he's a lesser version of Cobb. Don't think he can play outside, and has no special traits - we already have enough of those kind of guys.

Check. We're looking for "special traits" guys that will be available. Got it. Can any of these type of guys rush the passer?

Patler why don't you entitle this thread:

Rounds 2 and 3.

Because Round 2 is the curiosity now, with a bunch of players still available who people expected would go in Round 1. I anticipate none to be there (other than maybe Jack) when the Packers regular pick comes up. By Round 3, the list will be picked over.

I think moving up will be very difficult, and costly. Teams with high 2nd round picks are considering players they never expected to be there, and teams who may have had a particular liking for a player now see the chance to move up and get him. Makes for a sellers' market.

Not really concerned with round 3, just the somewhat large number of apparent opportunities still available at the start of Round 2.

Best Punter Available

[George Cumby]

I want Ted to pick up that fat Aussie just for kicks.

[Patler]

My draft board for the Packers would look like this right now:

ILB Reggie Ragland
TE Hunter Henry
ILB Deion Jones
OG Cody Whitehair
OLB Kamalei Correa
OT Shon Coleman
ILB Joshua Perry
DE Chris Jones
DT Jarran Reed
DE Jonathan Bullard
CB Xavien Howard
DT A'Shawn Robinson
OLB Noah Spence
WR Sterling Shepard
DE Bronson Kaufusi
OLB Kyler Fackrell
DE Jihad Ward
CB Kendall Fuller
OLB Jordan Jenkins

No idea where Myles Jack and Jaylon Smith might go.

Good list, but maybe too short. It could be that none will be available when GB picks.

The Packers 2nd and 3rd Round picks could be enough to move them up 10-15 spots. Is it worth it?

Their second, third and fourth might be enough to move them barely into the top 10 of the second round.

Where would Dodd fit? Green Bay has not drafted an OLB who timed worse than 4.75 in the 40 (except Ricky Elmore and that was a disaster) and 7.26 in the 3 cone. Dodd tested 4.86 in the 40 and 7.32 in the three cone. I don't think he's good enough in space to play 3-4 OLB. I have him as strictly a 4-3 DE. In fact, his overall athleticism would be worse than any OLB that TT has drafted, including Elmore.

I didn't think it through that far. I'm going by this: http://cheeseheadtv.com/blog/nfl-dra...odd-de-clemson

If drafted by the Packers:

Even with the resigning of Nick Perry and Matthews planned move back outside, you can never have enough pass rushers. Also, Julius Peppers and Nick Perry will be free agents after this season, so the Packers should be looking to add pass rushers in the draft. There could be several good options available when their turn comes at the bottom of the first round, including Kevin Dodd.

Dodd is probably best suited to play as a 4-3 defensive end, but I think he can also play OLB or as a 3-4 DE if he adds a little weight. Although he did look more comfortable rushing from a three-point stance at Clemson, he has a good combination of size and athletic ability to do both. Position doesn’t matter so much either because the Packers play nickel more than base defense. His flexibility, like Peppers and Datone Jones, gives him the ability to play standing up or with his hand in the dirt and he could drop back in Capers zone blitz. With his playmaking ability, he could be very disruptive opposite Mike Daniels and Clay Matthews.

I mainly want some pass rushers. Dodd seems like one of them.

[Sparkey]

Anyone think Joe Schobert from UW should be an ILB?

He is Packer people. Smart football player that produces and plays special teams. I could see him round 4.

[George Cumby]

Or Patriots.

[Iamtheliquor]

I'd love to see Cravens in green and gold as a hybrid ILB. I think he would be a great add. Deion Jones is another guy I'm fond of. Either way I think the next pick will be defense as well and I wouldn't be surprised to see us double up on defensive line if the right guy is available.

Welcome, Liquor. How long you been lurking?
