    I'm glad that we got 14 in a draft deep on QBs and a franchise RB. I think should Fitzpatrick or James be available at 8-10 we should light up the phones and see if we can make something happen.

    We need help in defensive backfield. There simply is no edge rusher with talent on par with those 2 in this draft, but their flexibility could change a defense.

      I think it's more likely we trade down, than trade up. We have way too many holes to fill.

        I have a strange feeling they are going to end up taking Calvin Ridley, and he will be a good player.

We have Adams, who is obviously our #1 receiver (and well-deserved). Then we have Cobb (he hasn't been particularly effective for years now). Then Allison...Allison? C'mon. Graham will be a better #3 than Allison, and potentially a better #2 than Cobb. We are one injury away from having a seriously lacking offense, and if Rodgers goes down again, a catastrophic one.
          Talent will be there in the later rounds to help fill our D. I tend to think that, since Gutey is a disciple of TT, that he'll do something none of us expects i.e. drafting a WR or something like that
          Well said, although I don't think Adams is a legitimate #1 WR. He's more of a 2. Adams is also a concussion or two away from retirement, so a guy like Ridley would make a great insurance, no to mention, an eventual #1 WR.

          I still believe in Cobb, but this could be his final season in the Green and Gold. It was fun when the receiver depth featured the likes of Jennings, Nelson, Cobb, Driver and Jones. Right now Packers have Adams, Cobb and a bunch of guttersnipes.

          Gotta draft Ridley.

            I totally agree that Adams probably isn't a legit #1. He's OUR #1 by default, though, and he's not bad. I think he is going to get better (fingers crossed). I don't think Cobb is back next year, unless he has just an unbelievable year, and there's nothing that makes me think he will.

            Ridley is becoming more and more realistic, but I'd really like to see the Pack get a guy like Julio Jones...a guy that can go up in the crowd and finish after the catch. I like Equanimeous St. Brown from Notre Dame. 6'5", 4.5 speed, athletic, smooth, big target. It'd also be nice to see them get a guy like Edelman (Cobb could be that guy) but they just need to get him the ball. DJ Moore from Maryland is a guy like that too. Ridley is the most talented, but they might not be willing to spend that high a pick on Ridley when defense has such a glaring need. St. Brown and Moore can be had much later. Either way, there is no doubt, in my mind, that the offense needs pretty close to as much attention as our D.

            Also, if the Pack is going to draft a receiver, I want them to get a good route runner. I think we have had guys that have relied too much on Rodgers and are not good route runners. Time to fix and get guys that can actually get open so Rodgers can throw it to them.

              A good route runner is always nice. Jennings, Jones and Nelson were all excellent route runners. A good route runner with speed is even better. Ridley seems to be that guy.

                All teams overvalue their draft picks these days in draft trades. They spend the rest of the year treating them like pennies.

                But for the draft itself its crazy expensive to move in the first round.
                it is but if you can get your man you do it. there's a formula/chart they all use to figure deals. Packers have some draft capital.

                  Normally I would agree, but we won't have another pick in the top 20 for awhile unless Rodgers is hurt again. This is an opportunity I would like to capitalize on.

                    I wonder if I like Mike Hughes better than the norm; he seems like an outside CB with all the tools
                    TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                      Hughes is 5'10" 189. Don't expect him in Green Bay.

                        Are you certain the old CB rules are still in force?

                            Yes the OLD TT diluted Draft isn't the answer now. The Packers need to Re-Build with REAL quality shots.

                            A Key to NO. 14 and is depended on the QB run and the early Picks. Funny that, as not a lot of the Experts are NOT high on this QB Class; so expect the unexpected or NO QB RUN.

                            Plan accordingly as in know exactly what your Pre Draft Strategy is. That means setting your Draft Board up as well as you possibly can.

                              Trust me this Packer Roster we have right now is weak.

                                We must make room for at least one at a time.

                                Al Harris
                                Mike McKenzie
                                Doug Evans

                                All were good cornerbacks and fantastic series regulars as neighbors to the Bunker family.
                                Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
