White has been a popular prediction for us for pick #12 from some of the mock drafts

I don't think White will drop to 12... we'd have to move up to get him probably.

I'd be okay with Polite, maybe Ferrell... haven't looked at Burns yet.

[Joemailman]

He very well might be. It's crazy that Iowa had BOTH of those TE's.

So far, it looks like Hockenson has not declared for the NFL Draft. Darn. I like that guy a lot. Monday is the deadline. I've seen some mocks with the Packers taking Fant with the Saints 1st round pick. I don't think he lasts that long.

[Smidgeon]

Hockenson has declared.

Hockenson has declared.

for or against?

It's kind of sad that each and every year the Packers need to invest in defense with high picks. One could argue that perhaps they should at look at what the Colts did and fix the holes in the O-line, which I could be on-board with, if there is someone at 12 that makes sense. Obviously their matchup outdoors with the Chiefs didn't go as planned, but I think that O-line will be good for the foreseeable future, barring injuries.

What the Colts did to protect Luck made a huge difference. It kept him healthy-ish, and upright...which got them to the playoffs. That, and their defense. I don't know that there's anyone at 12 who will be available and BPA, but I could see them taking someone with the Saints pick. I certainly think they need to pick a tackle with one of their top 100 picks.

Pass rush
Safety
OL
TE

I stand corrected on Devin White and lack of top-15 buzz. Looks like he's definitely in the top 15, possibly top 10. A difference maker at ILB is intriuging, they have kind of a mess there now with Martinez, Burks, possibly Josh Jones, Clay if he returns at ILB, plus who knows with Ryan and Morrison. If White fell to them at 12, I'd be voting for him. You take a playmaker where you can get them, regardless of depth.

Speaking of impact ILBs, did anyone note how BB (and Maybe little Mac) neutralized Melvin Ingram on Sunday? Well, the neutralized the whole defense, but there were some special blocking combos that just wiped MIIII out.

I can't say I saw it, as I gazed in wonder at the hole in zone defense.

What did they do, trap him?

Yeah, but there was more to it than that. If I have some time I'll look back on NFL.com, but I recall some nice double teams that seemed just perfectly executed. His head was on a swivel trying to figure out where these guys were coming from. Might be some fun film to watch if you like O-line play. Was Bosa even active? lol.

If there was one coach to commit the NFL version of felony theft for, it might be Scarnecchia.

But this is the genius of BB. He doesn't let a problem fester, preach about winning one on one and do nothing about it until its almost too late. He scheme or techniques it away and does it before the game so the others on offense (or defense) know they have to hold up one on one.

If mid game he needs to double team Gonzalez at TE, he does it and the rest of the D knows how cover the rest of it. He also does it illegally, with lots of hand to the face and grabbing, but that is his choice.

I'll never understand hard headed coaches who preach accountability will just stand there and have their own team's head caved in because they failed to anticipate someone on the other team might be better and we need a plan ready to go just in case. How is player acquisition going to save you down 14 in the second half?

Example, Oren Burks: BB game-planned to absolutely destroy him and did so on the first drive. The Packers pulled him, but the BB move would have been to call a TO after he got fried twice and just compensate on the fly (NE was going no-huddle so they couldn't substitute). Actually BB would have just had Burks fake an injury...

#UGA OC Lamont Gaillard dominating his @Shrine_Game reps everywhere along the line; uses his angles exceptionally well to leverage defenders and blocks very well on the move. Adds immediately value to any zone-blocking scheme as an agile and versatile interior lineman
