Or trade up to get that elite pass rusher that this team is dying for.

Edmunds? Chubb?

Or trade up to get that elite pass rusher that this team is dying for.

Edmunds? Chubb?

The cost would be too high considering the degree of need now to upgrade the Roster.

For EXAMPLE USING THIS Draft Trade Chart from DRAFTTEK and as a scenario that is likely expecting a lot and Chubb falls to Pick NO. 4 and Cleveland:

https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp

The cost would be 700 Points and the Browns would get Packers Pick NO. 14 and in addition Packers Picks NO.45 and 76 and 138 and in return The Browns will give the Packers their 7th Round Picks in 2019 and 2020.


That's 3 of your next 5 Picks gone, including your next two Rounds, Two and Three Picks gone; and in addition your Pick at the TOP of Round Five ... gone.

Given the age of LB Clay Matthews III (31 Years) and the injury History of LB Nick Perry (Age 28) and the shape the Packers are in at DB and WR.

Would you make this Trade UP Fritz?

I want to post this Ranking of Wide Receivers in this Draft simply as something to keep in mind. Draft Analysts seem to be sticking to Calvin Ridley as he's considered the most outstanding Route Runner but he has to get off the line and into gear (Size and strength!?).:

WR -Dante Pettis, Washington - 6'1" and 192 .

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/dante-pettis%20?id=32462018-0002-5600-2051-0c2c04e04ebb

Dante Pettis GRADE at NFL.com = 5.71

Pettis family has some athletic prowess. Dante's father, Gary, played 11 seasons of major league baseball for four teams, winning five Gold Gloves as a center fielder. His older cousin, Austin, was Boise State's all-time leading receiver before playing in the NFL for four seasons with the St. Louis Rams.

He ranked seventh in the FBS with 15 touchdown receptions and garnered second-team All-Pac-12 honors with 53 catches for 822 yards. His increased role on offense did not prevent him from making plays as a punt returner for the third straight season (25 att., 287 yards, two TD, ranked 10th in the FBS with 11.5 yards per return).

WR Dante Pettis, Washington is now Ranked at #7 WR here and between #6 Anthony Miller,Memphis and #8 James Washington, Oklahoma State:

[RashanGary]

Wouldn’t be the worst thing to draft quinton Nelson, G, Notre Dame either. In that case, i’d cut Bulaga because we’d be set with Bahktiari, Taylor, Lindsley, Nelson..... and then I’d have a battle for that RT spot. Whoever it is doesnt even have to be great, just a solid player cuz he’ll be playing next to a really good one.

Hot 150: Gil Brandt's top-ranked prospects for 2018 NFL Draft

By Gil Brandt ... NFL Media senior analyst

Published: April 16, 2018 at 12:04 p.m. Updated: April 18, 2018 at 03:28 p.m.

RANK # 12 -Marcus Davenport - DE - School: Texas-San Antonio | Year: Senior

Davenport will get better every year and has a chance to become a good pass rusher in the NFL. He's very athletic and has good character and excellent work habits.


RANK # 36 - Harold Landry - Edge - School: Boston College | Year: Senior

Landry played in just eight games in 2017 because of an ankle injury, but in '16, he set a school record with 16.5 sacks. Since 2014, only three college players have posted three career three-sack games: Landry and past first-round picks Derek Barnett and Myles Garrett. The athletic Landry has outstanding pass-rush ability when healthy -- he has the speed and quickness to excel in that role in the NFL.

RANK # 40 - Frank Ragnow - C - School: Arkansas | Year: Senior

An ankle injury cost him the last five games of the season and required surgery. He's a tough, hard-working player who played both guard and center at Arkansas. I wish he was faster in the cone drill (8.04). Still, he'll be a starter by Year 2.

RANK #42 -Tyrell Crosby - G - School: Oregon | Year: Senior

Crosby missed most of 2016 with an injury but was named Pac-12 Offensive Lineman of the Year in 2017, when he did not allow a sack. He has very long arms (35 1/4 inches) and big hands (10 3/4 inches), but he needs to get stronger. He has the toughness and mental acuity to be very good in the NFL.

RANK #43 - Carlton Davis - CB -School: Auburn | Year: Junior

He'll most likely be best as a press corner because of his size (6-foot-1, 203 pounds), long arms and strength. Davis played well in 2017 and had 33 passes defensed in his three-year career. He ran faster at his pro day than he did at the combine, but I would have liked to have seen better marks in the short shuttle (4.31) and cone drills (7.30).

RANK #48 - Ronnie Harrison - S -School: Alabama | Year: Junior

The well-coached Harrison will tackle with power, though difficulty changing directions will hurt him at the next level. He never ran the short shuttle or cone drill but did post a 4.63 - 40 at his pro day, and he finished with seven career interceptions.

RANK # 49 - Justin Reid - S - School: Stanford | Year: Junior

Reid enjoyed an excellent 2017, posting 99 tackles and five interceptions (including picks of Sam Darnold and Josh Rosen). He seemed to improve each year at Stanford and should be able to cover well, thanks to his speed (4.40 S - 40). His brother is former first-round pick Eric Reid.

If he is there and all the top shelf defensive players are off the board he would be a no brainer. Heck even if it was between him and Smith, or Edmunds it's at least a coin flip. The Packers have holes on their offensive line, and if it wasn't for such a shitty defense it would be the biggest need for the Packers

Probably one reason that Evans isn't re-signed. He wants more than bargain basement money, Packer might be hoping to get lucky and fill the spot in the draft.

[Deputy Nutz]

Risky to fill that spot with any thing less than a 1st round pick. Run the draft, if you get a couple of rookies for the offensive line then you could forget about Evans, but I would like to see them sign him to a one year deal. They have no depth on that line.
