Of course, Wist, you would disagree with me. Of course.

Internet denizens have famously high standards. The world owes them that much, as they do so much unappreciated work constructing memes.

Needs? Listen, pMc, I have needs, and you have needs. We all have needs. Screw the needs. Draft the best player available. Get talent on this team. If your first first round pick comes up, and the best player available on your board is a quarterback, pick 'em. If it's a running back, pick 'em. Guard? Same. Wide receiver? Same.

This. Team. Needs. Talent.

That is certainly true. I'm skeptical a TE will be the BPA at 12. This draft is now considered -- according to so-called experts -- strong on DL and average just about everywhere else. I was thinking of it more in terms of value and opportunity cost - but both sides of the ball need help in GB.
I think many teams have tiers of players (i.e., top 10, 11-20, 21-35, 36-50, 50-75, 75-100, 100-150, etc.) and if there are players similarly graded players but one is at a position of need they take them. I also think that as a general rule there are some positions you don't spend a high pick on (punter, kicker, etc.) and some you almost have to. If a franchise QB falls to you, you take them.

Basically, if they are a playmaker or a blue-chip player, you take them regardless of position.

That is definitely (a cheesecake photo of) a woman.

You are a better judge of football talent than women, methinks.

No compensatory picks for Packers this year, looks like.

This is an attractive woman

Not sure she can play LB, but I'm willing to give her a few years to work at it

[Fritz]

She looks very capable of swiveling her hips.

Has anyone else heard this about Hendrickson?

His forte was drafting offensive linemen with the Ravens, expertise he'll likely bring to the Packers. His new title is the team's director of football operations, previously held by Eliot Wolf.

Gutekunst doesn't sound convinced he is taking a Guard. I can see believing a healthy Taylor returns to form. But the best performer last year at RG was Lucas Patrick. Bell and McCray did not look like the answer.

I wouldn't have expected Gutey to say, "We're definitely going to draft a Guard early, because out Guards suck." Take most of what you hear this time of year with a grain of salt.

Maybe not. And he did mention he likes the group competition brewing to make them better, which is basically code for not good enough yet.

But GMs (if you aren't Ted) have acknowledged deficiencies before.

[mraynrand]

Lucas Patrick did look good down the stretch. Could be the capable two-spot guard backup they need. But they need a starter or two, depending on whether Taylor bounces back. I'm not sure Terror Guard from Washington is the answer even if he does return, because he's been strictly pass pro - no way to know if he has any run blocking chops. Have to bring in at least one starting caliber guard along with a franchise RT.
