There are about 3 or 4 corners still available with a second grade without reaching. I agree with McGinn that there simply not enough depth at the position to sustain any kind of legitimate pass defense in 2017.
I think Joe Mixon is the best player left in the draft. He has one incidence. He punched a woman in the face when he was 18. I punched my sister in the face when I was 14, she was bigger than me at the time and 15. But regardless, I kept punching her and damn near killed her. I didn't know my strength. He was 18, felt rejected and hurt, she came at him and he dropped her.
I don't see a bad person. I see a fragile person who didn't know how to be responsible for that strong body of his just yet. Everyone is going to regret passing on him. Punching a woman in the face at 18 isn't that bad. If he kept having incidents, that would be bad, but he didn't. He's good. He learned.
Mixon, Kamara, even Cook...not a lot of difference to worry about. They are basically part of a committee back there with Monty anyway. My wife's a die-hard Florida State fan, so I've seen a lot of Cook. I don't understand his combine numbers. The guy is money...at least on the field. He's quick and can break tackles. Whether he's fast enough to win the edge in the NFL? I don't know. I do know that if I was TT I'd have a hard time passing him up.
That said, Kamara's the safe choice and the Pack seems to like "safe."
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh. John Maxymuk, Packers By The Numbers
I would bet my shirt that TT trades down again with the first pick, maybe 5 spots, and then maybe even trades-up from the second pick to ~15 in the second round.
He takes a pass rusher and a CB. I think he will get Mixon in the third.
ted was all about "meat" in his presser so that just leaves Malik McDowell.
there's no figuring ted. give up.
McDowell would look good in Green and Gold.
One thing for sure, if TT screws this up, given the position he's in right now, he ought to retire ASAP. LOL

true...if that was a need. it would be a great signing.
let's start a list of who was drafted between 29 and wherever our first pick ends up at...
29. Cleveland Browns: David Njoku, TE, Miami
30. Pittsburgh Steelers: T.J. Watt, OLB, Wisconsin
31. San Francisco 49ers: Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama
32. New Orleans Saints: Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin
Packers General Manager Ted Thompson traded out of the first round last night, landing the No. 33 pick in a deal with the Browns and then let the football world he was open to trading back again to kick off the second round.
Normally, I'd say this is an obvious smokescreen to drum up a trade. But time and time again, don't we hear that the Packers under TT don't play that game? I'm still erring on the side of smokescreen though....
But it isn't unprecedented to grab a player at a position GB doesn't need (at all) because they anticipate his value to be significantly higher than anyone else (and even than the position he's being picked at). But I'm still having a really hard time buying that GB is considering a QB at 33 considering the other needs/available players.
No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.
