Cook would be a good pick. He can catch the ball, and would instantly add speed to a slow offense.

It's amazing to me with all the 4.3 guys on O now, that they still look so sluggish.

4.3 ain't what it use to be. In the old days it was ready, set, go and the coach started the clock on go. You had a reaction time before the athlete started running. Now the clock starts on first movement of the player and the use technology to know exactly when the finish line is crossed verses the coach hitting his stop watch bottom.

The Olympics have started combatting this in the 100m & 200m races by having a delay time in when the gun goes off to when the runners move. If the runner moves too fast, he was anticipating the gun and getting an advantage by hoping to "cheat" the actually start.

If Lacy leaves, Dalvin Cook anyone?

I don't know if I want to invest a high 1st round pick into a RB when we have bigger issues to address. I suggest we resign Lacy - he isn't gonna cost a fortune - instead.

no running back. we're a passing team. needs to be the best wr available...or tight end (to take dickrods place).

Packers could be in Mike Williams territory. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/p.../mike-williams

I'd prefer a pass rusher, but the top of the draft looks weak there.

Would be nice to draft a star at and then keep Lacy on an injured fool discount. An upgrade at RB and WR would help us next year!

corey davis just broke the all time fbs receiving yards mark

Davis seems more like a TT guy. If TT is around. Maybe Aaron wants Mike Williams with the Hopkins comparisons.

CBS has Davis ranked 39th overall. If accurate, that could fit right in with Packers 2nd round pick. He'll probably go higher than that if he performs well at the Senior Bowl and Combine though.

i've also seen sites having him go in the top 10

which may fit right in with our first round plans

PFF has him going #7 overall

sports illustrated has him at #13

on that last series davis just had a great one handed snag, on the next play he had a great block out in front of the runner, and he capped it off with an amazing back shoulder catch where he was falling out of bounds and dragged his feet

that one series just showed all you need to see from him

I take it you're on the Davis bandwagon. Rankings on him are all over the place right now, but he sounds like a 1st round pick more than a second.

i'm an alum, we gotta support our own

but the kid does seem to have all the physical gifts and tools

[texaspackerbacker]

I will go with a wideout this year, and Cody Davis looks like one of the best. We have all that quantity but no top level quality. Any RB no matter how good in college is a crap shoot to do it in the NFL. Conversely, you can be sharp about picking a second level RB and have him rise to the top in the NFL.

If Shields isn't coming back, need a CB first.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you claiming Randall, Rollins, and Gunter were all good picks with a bright future within the last week or so? Why would they need to go cb first round if that were the case?
Anyway....to me, this is clearly a BPA situation. We are so bereft of playmakers in so many spots. Honestly I think Cook would be a great pick.
