I think the secondary looks a whole lot better if the front 7 is revamped. My position of needs for the Packers in order are: Pass rusher, pass rusher, pass rusher, offensive guard, cornerback, running back, pass rusher.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

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?

Pb altered his thinking after I debunked his argument.

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.

You can't have 5 shut down CBs on the same team. You need good corners and Randall, Rollins and Gunter look to be that. Hopefully 1 steps up to be a shutdown corner. But with Shields gone you need a 2nd player of his quality.

Yes, if we are picking this high you go with BPA. When you pick for need alone you end up reaching and regretting it later.

I like their talent and think each one has at least one trait to like very much. I think they all can start and that Randall might become a fixture on defense. However, neither their development or health is guaranteed. Its probably unlikely all three hit just based on those probabilities alone.

If Shields is done and Goodson is lost, you need depth and a chance to find talent. I not as sure about Dorleant as I am about those three.

If WR and ILB have taught us anything, a return to health is one thing, a lack of depth is something else.

With the win, the Packers go from picking between 7-11 to 10-14.

[run pMc]

corey davis just broke the all time fbs receiving yards mark

I'm a fan. He has really good production and can run routes. With Jordy on his last legs and Cobb being AWOL for chunks of games I'd be ecstatic if he was there in R2 and TT took him. (I think he'll sneak into R1 unless he runs a 4.6 40, though.)

[smuggler]

I think Jake Butt or possibly OJ Howard might be the way to go.

[red]

corey davis just showed some jordy nelson pre injury speed

i don't know if he has off the line speed, but he's got that top gear you need. sure didn't look like a 4.6 forty guy on that play

[Freak Out]

Defense.

[gbgary]

Defense.

nah...FA for that...or later in the draft. 1st 3 rds need to be O.

[Bretsky]

nah...FA for that...or later in the draft. 1st 3 rds need to be O.

What does "FA" stand for ? Is that Green Bay's version of Playoffs for Jim Mora ??

[texaspackerbacker]

All those asterisks on that list, those are players who might come out early, right? I kinda doubt about half of them will.

Ted has put us in a spot where we need way more than one of the positions talked about. And it's like Bretsky said about the FA thing. I still think the most immediate fix that will do the most good is a big fast wideout - unless there is clear and convincing evidence that Jordy Nelson is gonna return to his pre-injury speed.
